AGRICULTURAL MINISTRY
Most farmers in Latin America depend entirely on the harvest to live. These subsistence farmers and their families suffer hunger and more when there is a bad crop. From ongoing agricultural training seminars which train farmers in cost-effective techniques, to cooperative-based projects and seed and fertilizer distribution, Mission Lazarus continues to build relationships with rural mountain communities while God opens doors to teach His Word and reap a harvest all His own.
Agriculture is the primary industry in the region of Choluteca. The majority of the mountain population depends entirely on the harvest to survive. For subsistence farmers the lack of rain or the infestation of pests can drastically affect the family and community. Mission Lazarus works with village leaders to target areas and families with the most need. By providing needed seed or fertilizer these families are able to produce a good crop, which provides food for their families, grain for resale, and seeds for the next season's crop.
