"FARM STEW lives a gospel sermon every day!"

Robert Thomson

"From my perspective, the most life-giving thing that FARM STEW does for others is provide what is necessary for people to grow their own food and learn what is nutritious.

There are so many things I like about FARM STEW’s work. I'll just name a few, they give young women dignity by providing reusable pads, they teach and train leadership skills, they provide water wells for drinking, gardening and sanitation. I’m also very impressed by the savings and loan operation. This helps organize  community and promote cooperation. and there is so much more.

Fulfilling the great commission by providing an opportunity to tell and demonstrate to others the gospel of Christ Jesus. I thank you, Joy Kaufman, and all FARM STEW staff for being the conduit and with which I can provide help to the “least of these.”

Stephen Yendrzeski

"Just as Jesus brought HOPE to people by meeting their physical needs during His 3 1/2 years of ministry, FARM STEW also brings HOPE to many people throughout the world today.

Giving people the tools and support to grow and sustain a healthy food supply and have a constant source of clean water is life-changing in so many ways."

Rosie Nash

"Teaching people to "do" for themselves, rather than depend on someone else.  They can grow their own food; they can construct simple tippy taps and latrines to keep themselves well."

Mike McCabe

"When I studied FARM STEW’s approach and read the testimonies of those who were being impacted by this ministry, it seemed quite clear that there was a beautiful balance between the life here and the life to come.

Regarding the “life here,” I’ve never seen a ministry that is set up to truly empower the people being helped to become self-sustaining. And it is not a hit and miss, short-term kind of help. You are empowering generations of families, lifting them from poverty, returning self-respect and dignity by showing them how to become productive citizens within their towns and villages. By teaching them how to grow and maintain gardens, they can experience a more vibrant life here and now.

Regarding the “life to come,” through teaching and modeling on a daily basis, you are leading the people to the God who has given them eternal life.If I could summarize it in one phrase, FARM STEW lives a gospel sermon every day."
