How to train and mobilize farmers

Peter Cunningham

The key question is how to train and mobilize 300,000 farmers and this is where it is with a growing sense of excitement that we see Operation Trumpet Call moving from phase 1 to phase 2 which will involve the farm sites that we had in the previous year moving from predominately receiving training and input to giving training and input. We see this being outworked with model communities and farms beings established between now and September which model the vast picture of Jesus’ life amongst us, because of the bigness of His grace and life the smallest of our differences fade to nothing and communities can live in unity, love and service of each other. These two aspects combine to where work becomes worship and we can farm with excellence and joy.

As these model sites are established over the coming 4 months, we see the preparation going into some large national events in September. At this time we hope to call the church to feed the nation and point them towards the sites to get inspiration, training, and a picture of what to do. At this time we hope to put large “raise a banner for Jesus” across the country and put large sign posts along each of the main roads and small roads leading to the Operation Trumpet Call model sites so that in one week the country will become aware that throughout the country there are sites and communities who are ready to teach and show the way.


Operation Trumpet Call phase 2 will therefore involve us as the OTC team working very closely with these sites in inputting trainings, preparing and partnering to get us all ready to act at that stage. The sites will be centers that people can come to and really see, taste and feel what they are needing to go back to their communities to do and model.
