Community and Urban Gardening as Outreach and Evangelism
Agrimissions offers churches, religious organizations and non-profits the opportunities to share the Gospel and reach out to help the poor in a real and practical way. To complement our already successful international program we have developed a unique program to train individuals and groups interested in becoming involved in community or urban gardening. We have a complete comprehensive program designed to train both the Master Gardener and the Novice Gardener. The key component of training is combining outreach evangelism.
Many opportunities abound to get to know your neighbors in real and practical ways while sharing Jesus and helping others.
