How Church Planters Are Alleviating Hunger Among the Unreached

There is a garden in Uganda growing food that no one expected.

A man named Pastor Simon left his home and walked into a village that had little or no access to the Gospel. He came speaking the language, understanding the culture, but also as a newcomer, among people who did not yet know him or trust him. He received training, a seed grant, and the kind of steady support that lets a person build something real.

Your giving to Petros Network is what put those seeds in his hands.

Every church planter is included in a sustainability program as part of their sponsorship. Pastor Simon chose to grow maize, soybeans, tomatoes, and millet. When the harvest comes, he shares it with families in need. His garden has become more than food. What he grows, he shares. What he learns, he passes on. The church is stronger for it, and so are the families around it.

That is not relief. That is the Gospel taking root. And it is exactly what you helped grow.

The answer to world hunger already exists.

Experts from the World Food Program point to the same solutions: train local farmers, reduce poverty through sustainable livelihoods, connect communities to local food systems, protect children from malnutrition. Petros Network church planters, like Pastor Simon, are living them.

Thanks to generous partners like you, they are equipped to do so.

Pastor Simon is one of 72,507 people trained in sustainable agriculture through the Petros Sustainability Program. His garden is one of 68,205 individual gardens now cultivated. Across the network, 28,887 community gardens have taken root, 71 school gardens are teaching the next generation to grow their own food, and church planters have generated $14,481 in revenue — income that flows back into families, churches, and villages.

These are not statistics. They are seeds planted by people your generosity equipped, multiplying in ways no one can fully track.
