BAM Enterprises has continued to be the section of the ministry with the most changes. In recent months we have seen the chickens grow immensely. This is thanks in part to our new fodder system. The fodder system grows sprouts which are incredibly full of nutrients and very good for you. The chickens LOVE the fodder and it is very healthy for them, as well as cutting down the cost of feeding them significantly! We are very thankful to Kirk and Siri who spent two weeks visiting us from the US to get the fodder system up and running.
We have also added a new tilapia farm! The ponds were dug and the baby fish were added in May. We are eager to see how they grow and thrive! The beauty of BAM is that no system stand alone. The fodder grows from sunflower seeds, which feeds the chicken, who help feed the tilapia etc.
We have also seen a lot of excitement about our mills. We began selling our sunflower oil, posho, rice, and more recently. Many in the community now prefer our products to the more expensive ones from further away. We have several interested shops who are looking into selling our products.
BAM is taking a lot of work right now, and our staff are doing amazing at managing the farm, machines, animals, and business all at once. Please keep them in prayer as they put hard work into making this ministry self-sustaining!
