We come alongside local churches to encourage communities to grow in their love and care for their neighbors and creation as spiritual renewal. Our collaboration with local churches allows us to form more meaningful relationships within the community, and allows us to partner with members on the basis of shared values.

In many rural communities, farming is looked down upon. Through workshops like Theology of Work, participants discover the significance of being caretakers of the environment and the sacred invitation offered by their daily lives. Participants grow in their sense of personal value, and responsibility to creation and others. ​​70% of program participants believe their work is a good use of their talents, demonstrating a sense of personal value and agency.

Plant With Purpose’s spiritual renewal efforts build unity in communities. Group members practice loving their neighbors by identifying families in crisis and collaborating to help them meet a need. Reconciliation between community members often occurs. In places that have been impacted by regional conflict, this cooperation offers a chance to reimagine their relationships with one another.

In communities at the crossroads of climate change and poverty, women often face the harshest impact, doing the majority of the work but having access to the fewest resources. Purpose Groups provide leadership opportunities for women while strengthening love, trust, and mutuality in family relationships. The majority of partner farmers are women, as are many community based leaders and trainers. We work actively to promote the inclusion of women and girls.
