Go for Goat!

To our Philippine brethren.

We now have over 250 goats in our Cebu farms. Our target is to have 10,000 goats to loan to Philippine partnering farmers in five years or less. Here are pictures that will give you an idea how simple it is to start a goat farm. If you cannot do it yourself due to time or space, just learn more about this program and share it with the members of your congregation. Later on, I can help loan them quality goats to raise and you or someone in the church can serve as the monitor or coordinator. Or better yet, you can do this on your own independently. We will supply you with additional information and any other way we could be of service to the Lord's body.

This project is low cost, low, tech and ideal for the Philippine climate and economic condition. It has also a lot of downstream benefits: Health, Environment, Economy and most especially, Outreach opportunities for the church. After goat raising, you can get milk out of this (rich in calcium, protein, and lactose free). You then can make soap and lotion from the milk that you cannot drink. Manure can be used as rich organic fertilizer. Goat skin can be used for many leather products such as handicrafts. You can also raise chicken with goats and the chicken can live from the excess goat feed as well as eat the centipedes around the farm that can harm the goats. Other complimenting farm projects: Vermiculture (Worm) and Seed Production.



Some goats can give up to a gallon of milk per day.
Some goats can grow up to 300 lbs.
Some goats can provide up to 25 lbs of manure every day.

Goat raising can be a solution towards self-sufficiency of our members, preachers, and churches. In the ancient times, the image of a goat is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Jacob started from Laban's rejects and became prosperous through goats and sheep. In modern days, New Zealand became prosperous due to sheep and goats. Through goat raising, we can be healthier, our kids can go to college, we can support our own preachers and evangelize our neighbors and beyond.

" The lambs will provide you with clothing and the goats with the price of a field. You will have plenty of goat's milk to feed you and your family and to nourish your servant girls." Prov. 27:26-28 NIV
