How sponsorship works.

1
Make your pledge

Make one gift or a schedule that fits your plan.

2
Choose your village

We’ll show you high-need, ready-to-go communities, just waiting for you!

3
See the change

Steady reporting with photos, family spotlights, and key metrics will be sent to you.

4
Celebrate & share

Bring your friends, small group, or company into the story by sharing the stories from your village.

For example, Village Church’s Junior Sabbath School, led by Deby Andvik, piloted this model. They rallied kids, parents, and friends and funded two villages (first in Uganda and then in the Philippines). In return, they received steady reports from the field that inspired the kids.

Then the church and even the community responded. Kids learned to give, by earning through their own enterprises. Students baked bread, sold flowers, and launched small enterprises that taught generosity while funding a village. Families saw impact. The updates kept everyone engaged.

If a junior Sabbath School can fund a village, your group can too.

You don’t have to do this alone. Your extended family, business, or small group can pick a village, pray for it by name, and celebrate each update together as you fund their transformation through FARM STEW!

A birthday or anniversary can become a reason to give life instead of gifts.  Deby did that to celebrate her 70th!  And we’ll make it simple - providing a one-page guide, a campaign page, and shareable media so your group can lead a village campaign with confidence.

So sponsor a village today, or let Joy call you to discuss the options! 

12 villages have been claimed. Only 38 villages are still available. Will one carry your name?

Local Christian FARM STEW trainers return week after week, training, equipping and coaching families until the transformation is permanent.

And you will see it unfold, step by step, in your chosen village if you give now!

It's Christ's method

This is Christ's method in action - meeting needs, building trust, and opening hearts to Jesus.

Frequently asked questions

We get asked these questions often.

Why $17,760?

It cost $444 to fund the transformation of a family through FARM STEW with years of wholistic training, equipping with tools, seeds, pads, water or enterprise, and coaching for follow-through assuring lifelong change. For a standard-size village cohort, with 40 families, approximately 240 people, it takes $444 x 40 =$17,760.

What if the village already has a well?

Then we fund the next highest-leverage enterprise (bees, mill, sewing, etc.) to raise income and sustain progress.

Is this safe for workers in sensitive areas?

Yes. We tailor reporting to protect teams while still giving you real proof of impact.

Can my church, classroom, or company sponsor together?

Yes. We’ll give you a simple campaign page, assets, and update cadence.

What happens in the long term?

FARM STEW equips families with a change that lasts because they are transforming their own reality. It all starts with an attitude and once that changes behaviors follow. Families keep practicing the recipe because they see it leads to a more abundant life.
