Some BIG NEWS...
God is moving mountains AGAIN! God LOVES the Fulani people!
With the CRAZY statistic (see above!) of Nigeria soon to be the world's 3RD MOST POPULOUS nation in the world, our hearts to help the Fulani settle in ONE PLACE burn hotter and hotter! Fulani shepherds can no longer move their cattle about the nation, like their fathers and grandfathers before them. The nation has rapidly grown, and the cattle are NOW CAUSING GREAT STRIFE, WAR, AND LOSS OF LIFE!
Our goal with rotational grazing is to provide a way for the Fulani people to keep their culture of cattle, but safely, and in one place! We can also offer education and healthcare on our grazing reserves! CHANGE IS HARD. After doing things for hundreds of years, change has come slowly. There is no doubt the Fulani KNOW we love them and care for them, but they are wary to make the change from nomadic shepherding to rotational grazing.
To support rotational grazing, we are going to add a DAIRY PROJECT to Lafiya Grazing Reserve in Imala. Phyllis has been thinking about how to better partner with the Fulani on grazing reserves... She has been wondering if we could use the milk Fulani HAVE ON HAND, and help them sell it to earn a more stable income. In a wonderful way - that only God can do - a possible dairy door has opened...
Phyllis met a dairy developer, through a mutual friend! We are working on a partnership with a dairy company in Uganda. They have already built a dairy, figured out the tricks of the trade, and they are willing to come to Nigeria to help US build a dairy! We are still working out the details, but it seems like a GREAT next step. We will begin with LOTS of research in Nigeria, to make sure our plan in feasible, but God is leading, and we must follow!
If our dairy project at Lafiya Grazing Reserve is successful, we will reproduce it on every grazing reserve we run! We want to help and support our Fulani friends, to learn to settle with their cattle in one place. With our growing team in Nigeria, we will continue to build and support schools and healthcare clinics. We are excited to see what the Lord will do with this new dairy project, and we continue to expect great things!
