Feed My Sheep

A Missionary Farming Program

Feed My Sheep is a program God put on the hearts of missionaries after a 
short-term mission trip with Give Us Hope Mission to Haiti. The team, led by 
Love In Action, saw the need to start a farm to help support communities in Haiti.

Our Goals

  •  Reduce malnutrition in children and diminish death and illness related to inability to get nutritious foods.
  • Generate jobs to bless communities in Haiti.
  • Create disciples as farm workers in Haiti to receive training and spiritual support from expert farmers from the U.S.
  •  Establish a sustainable farmland for students and their families attending our schools in Haiti.
  • Decrease the cost of maintaining the food pantry by  creating a self-sufficient farm upheld by workers indigenous to Haiti. 
  • Expand production to help provide food to  Give Us Hope Mission’s orphanage.
  • Partner with our brothers and sisters in Haiti in  prayer. 
  • Become self-sufficient in 1 year.
