Work Week
The vision of the work week is not just to provide short-term assistance but to provide an opportunity to work. The desire to work is a God-given desire. Work is one of the first commandments God gave Adam. Work preceded sin. The toil of labor brings a satisfaction of accomplishment and dignity. By providing an opportunity to work on the farm, individuals are not robbed of their dignity in asking for help. Over the years the ministry has learned that most of the time when there is a food shortage, it is the result of a lack of consistent job opportunities.
The work week usually consisted of anywhere from 10-20 men swinging machetes, keeping the property clean, and clearing land for future crop sites. The work week was also a great opportunity to minster to and build relationships with the men.
