In the mountains of the Philippines, there are many small villages that are hard to reach. These villages often don't get much help. Let's talk about a group of organizations working together to change this. Ray and Dawn Spoon used to be missionaries, and now they're helping out as volunteers on the island of Mindoro. They're working with FARM STEW, PAMAS, Siloam Valley Institute, and the SULADS to make a difference. Soon, 50 local people will learn about FARM STEW and go out to help these villages live better lives. I got to see what's happening with this partnership. FARM STEW is getting ready to send out kits to help, Siloam Valley is getting ready for the training, PAMAS is busy with their demonstration garden, and the SULAD director is heading out to a remote school to help with some problems. Talking to Dawn Spoon, she explained, "FARM STEW teaches people in these villages how to farm better and live healthier. Merma is one of these villages, where it's really hard to get food. But now, the kids are learning to grow their own vegetables at school, which helps them and their families." PAMAS and SULADS are really important for these villages. PAMAS helps with transport so people and supplies can get there easier, while SULADS starts schools that change lives. It's amazing to see everyone working together. With God's help, these villages are changing, and more people are joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Let's keep these frontline workers in our prayers. God listens when we pray.

Beautiful words from our friend, family and partner Nik Erikson, Full Moon Farms 🌿💚 "From the late 80s to the 2000s the small closet and garage scenes were everywhere. A few lights could supplement your 9-5 income and keep families from living paycheck to paycheck. I knew a lot of people who didn't even smoke weed that had a secret...sometimes the kids would talk about "daddy's tinfoil room". The risk to freedom and reputation for a lot of these everyday families meant secrecy was the most important thing in the operation.. charcoal filters fitted to the exhaust helped to mask the odor, pge bills were paid in cash usually out of town so you didn't run into a neighbor, and you never talked about it with anyone outside your trusted inner circle! These 4-8 lighters wouldn't make you rich, but if you needed new tires on the rig or wanted to leave the waitress an extra $20 in her tip, well you could. The significance of the small grow back then had such a powerful impact on our economy. Humboldt is an isolated county, so people shop local, they bought their furniture, cars and food from local merchants, shops and businesses. They could afford tickets to one of the many music festivals Humboldt used to host, Blues by the Bay, the Redwood Run, Reggae on the River ect. When the small grows didn't pencil out anymore, people shut the lights off and couldn't afford the little extras that really drove our economy. Now we are seeing this again on a bigger scale as bigger farms shut down due to the economics of the industry. Restaurants are closing, live music is much more hit and miss, stores are laying people off and the economy is weathering another contraction. We are an isolated but resilient group, our community rallies when the times get tough, and neighbors are helping neighbors. We just ask that you support small farmers, no matter what they farm! They have families to raise and care about what they do! Shop local, support mom n pop shops so small towns everywhere don't lose their "Main Street " otherwise we will all be just waiting on Amazon to bring us our box of stuff." #fullmoonfarms #humboldtfamilyfarms #supportsmallfarmers #communitymatters #sungrown #flowersprefersunshine
