That's what I was thinking. 02:04 Yeah, like, I'm thinking of something from the farm, 02:06 maybe, I don't know chopping of vegetables, soup. 02:07 Something you eat.

Jacob Oyier. 03:24 Okay, and you are the vice president of Farm Stew. 03:25 Yes, correct. 03:27 I'm the vice president of Farm Stew, yes. 03:29 Amen. Yes. 03:30 Amen, it's a blessing to have both of you here 03:32 and we're going to unpackage 03:33 what this ministry is all about. 03:35 And it's really exciting actually. 03:36 I don't know on that... 03:38 We call the jib shot which is that wide shot. 03:39 There is something really neat that's sitting here 03:41 in between us here and we'll get to that too. 03:43 And there's actually something down inside 03:46 but we'll share that with you in a bit too. 03:48 But before we get into this exciting ministry, 03:52 we want to go to some music. 03:53 We always enjoy music here at 3ABN 03:55 and we know you do to. 03:57 And we're gonna be blessed today 03:58 with Pastor Wintley Phipps. 04:00 And he is gonna be doing a great song entitled, 04:03 "Tell me the story of Jesus". 04:43 Tell me the story of Jesus 04:50 Write on my heart every word 04:57 Tell me the story most precious 05:04 Sweetest that ever was heard 05:15 Tell how the angels in chorus 05:23 Sang as they welcomed His birth 05:30 Glory to God in the highest 05:37 Peace and good tidings to earth 05:45 Tell me the story of Jesus 05:52 Write on my heart every word 06:00 Tell me the story most precious 06:07 Sweetest that ever was heard 06:31 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him 06:38 Writhing in anguish and pain 06:45 Tell of the grave 06:48 Where they laid Him 06:54 Tell how He liveth again 07:02 Love in that story so tender 07:09 Clearer than ever I see 07:17 Stay let me weep while you whisper 07:24 Love paid the ransom for me 07:36 Tell me the story of Jesus 07:43 Write on my heart every word 07:50 Tell me the story most precious 07:58 Sweetest that ever was heard 08:26 Amen. 08:27 Thank you so much, Pastor Wintely Phipps. 08:29 He is an incredible man of God, 08:31 an anointed preacher and singer. 08:33 And "Tell me the story of Jesus", 08:35 what better song to go with our program today. 08:39 That's what this ministry is all about, 08:41 sharing Jesus, 08:42 sharing help and hope. 08:44 And if you are just joining us, 08:46 we are interviewing Farm Stew. 08:49 Now at the beginning of the program, we said, 08:51 "What in the world is Farm Stew?" 08:52 We have two precious people with us. 08:54 Joe Kauffman, 08:55 you are the president of the Farm Stew 08:56 and Jacob Oyier. 08:58 Yes. And you are the vice president. 09:00 And so tell me what is Farm Stew? 09:03 What does Farm Stew stand for? 09:04 And tell me just a little bit about your ministry 09:06 before we go back and unpackage your story? 09:09 Thanks for the opportunity to share. 09:11 I'm a fairly new Adventist and... 09:14 but I'm a nutritionist 09:15 and I have a masters in Public Health 09:16 from Johns Hopkins. 09:18 And I really researched Adventist for a long time 09:21 before I even became one. 09:23 And one of the things 09:24 that struck me was the power of these eight-letter acronyms. 09:27 Newstart developed by Loma Linda 09:30 and also now Creation Health by Florida hospital. 09:34 And these health messages packaged in these simple ways 09:38 have gained North American Adventists 09:41 over 10 years of abundant life 09:44 compared to the average American population. 09:46 Ten years, you know, that's amazing, isn't it? 09:47 It is. I mean, it's significant. 09:49 You're not just talking a few months, 09:50 you're talking 10 full years. 09:51 So the life expectancy increases by 10 years 09:53 by following these principles. 09:55 Exactly, and that's been documented 09:57 by National Geographic, by NIH 10:00 where the blue zones in Loma Linda. 10:02 So it is powerful message and yet you look at Africa 10:06 and they have a life span of 60 years. 10:09 And so I thought, I was just really praying, 10:12 "What could be a health message for Africans 10:15 or for Asian villagers, rural people, 10:18 where 75% of the world's poor live." 10:21 There are subsistence farmers in rural villages. 10:24 So I believe Farm Stew is a gift from God. 10:26 Amen. 10:27 Farming is the first letter and... 10:30 Okay. So it's an acronym, Farm Stew. 10:32 It is an acronym, yes. 10:34 And so much like Newstart. 10:35 So "Farming," 10:37 we really focus on God's principles for farming. 10:41 And really treating the land and the soil with respect 10:44 and practicing practices that are ancient. 10:47 Anybody with the hoe 10:48 can be the best farmer in the world. 10:50 Right. I like that. 10:51 The second one is "Attitude". 10:53 And that's where we roll up the ideas of trust in God, 10:56 and also that work ethic, 10:58 that six days we labor and work, 11:00 and we do so with joy. 11:02 Amen. 11:03 And then comes the "Rest" 11:06 which we know we need nightly rest, 11:07 weekly Sabbath's rest, 11:09 but we also need rest for the soil 11:11 and crop rotation. 11:12 It's very important, and many of the soils 11:15 in all these different places are depleted 11:17 because of not properly rotating and resting the soil. 11:21 And then finally is "Meals". 11:23 And as a nutritionist, I love this part 11:27 because we're not just biochemical beings, 11:30 we need to actually take the time 11:31 to prepare food as opposed to buying the... 11:34 sort of cheap industrial food 11:36 that many people are filling their bellies with, 11:38 but it's not really nourishing their bodies. 11:40 Wow. 11:41 So that's the Farm, 11:43 I'm gonna hand Stew over to Jacob. 11:44 Okay. 11:45 Yes. Yes. 11:47 Yes, "S" is an acronym that stands for "Sanitation". 11:51 Oh, okay. 11:52 We focus at cleanliness around our homes. 11:56 Cleanliness in the food that we eat. 11:59 We go ahead and train people 12:02 on how to dispose off the wastes. 12:06 Those things that can contaminate 12:09 the environments that we live in. 12:11 You know, by the virtue of the fact 12:13 that I'm from Africa, I teach what I've lived. 12:16 Okay. 12:17 So having moved to America, 12:19 I know the challenges that faces Africans 12:24 as opposed to those things that we take for granted 12:27 that are in America, all right? 12:29 What would some of those challenges be? 12:31 Defecation, you know, in America, 12:36 you go to a house self contained, right? 12:39 Yeah, we have flush toilets. Flush toilet. 12:41 We've got the rest room... 12:42 Running water. Running water. 12:43 Running water, everything, everything, 12:45 it is as a right. 12:47 In Africa, it's a privilege. 12:48 Whoa! 12:50 So we teach people to refocus 12:52 on what is important in our lives. 12:56 And these are things that are very easy to manage. 13:00 Separating where the drinking water is 13:03 and from where the waste disposal is. 13:08 They... They'll cross contaminate. 13:09 Yes, yes. 13:11 So when we train these people, 13:14 we focus at practical everyday living that they can do. 13:20 Another thing is "Temperance". 13:22 Moderating in everything that we do, you know, 13:25 too much of everything is dangerous, right? 13:27 So we focus at teaching people on moderating, 13:31 on everything that we do. 13:34 "Enterprise", you ask yourself, 13:37 "Why did I come to America?" 13:40 We say that America is a land of opportunity, right? 13:41 Yes. 13:43 Do we know it's a land of opportunity? 13:44 I came to America in 2006. 13:47 And actually I was focused at 13:49 being an engineer in three years, 13:50 which did not happen. 13:52 Because I know that if you give somebody an opportunity 13:58 in the right environment, he is able to thrive. 14:02 So Farm Stew focus at giving people opportunity 14:06 as an enterprise. 14:07 Excellent. 14:10 Some of the people that we train make soya mandazis, 14:13 all right? 14:14 That is an enterprise, 14:15 a way that they can earn a living. 14:18 And then something that is very dear to me is "Water". 14:22 Water. 14:24 People take shower in the river, 14:27 up to the time that I was coming to America, 14:29 I was taking shower in the river. 14:31 Wow, that's where you bathe is in the river. 14:32 That is where you bathe, that is where you draw water. 14:36 Draw water as in drinking water? 14:38 Drinking water come from the river. 14:40 Yeah. And that's where... 14:41 So people are bathing, 14:42 people are drinking from this, yes. 14:44 Yes, you draw it, you take it home, 14:47 think that after you taking home, 14:48 now it is clean. 14:50 So we focus at training people 14:53 on how we can treat water from rain water. 14:59 In the last year, through my initiation, we... 15:04 I... 15:06 through my initiative, we dug seven wells. 15:09 Amen. 15:10 Amen. Yes. 15:11 And these are just hand dug wells. 15:13 Hand dug wells 15:14 but very protected then in the end, 15:16 so that they maintain safe. Cross contamination. 15:18 Yes. Amen. 15:20 So this is what Farm Stew is. Okay. 15:23 And this is what we are about, yes. 15:26 It's a great acronym, actually, it is for... 15:28 I truly feel it was a gift from God 15:31 because now we've been to conferences 15:33 and shared this with a lot of people. 15:36 And every time I meet an African, I say, 15:39 "Are we missing something? 15:40 Is there something that should be different?" 15:42 I have not had one person say no and in fact, 15:45 what they say is, "This needs to be everywhere. 15:48 How can I bring this to my church? 15:49 How can I bring it back to my country?" 15:53 So let's take a left turn 15:54 before we keep going with the ministry. 15:57 I want to know how you got involved. 16:00 Take us back to the early days, I guess. 16:02 Maybe growing up, Joy, 16:04 and then how you were first drawn 16:05 to the Adventist church and into health? 16:08 Yeah. 16:09 Well, I say it's started at birth 16:11 because I was born in the Adventist hospital 16:14 and it was an emergency C section situation. 16:17 So I know those nurses were praying for me. 16:19 Amen. 16:20 I became a vegetarian at age nine, 16:22 just because my heart was so big for animals. 16:25 I was just gonna say, is it because your family, 16:26 all turned vegetarian? 16:28 No, I was the only one. At nine years of age. 16:30 Yes, and I'm still, 16:32 I'm the only Adventist in my family 16:34 but I'm praying that will change soon. 16:36 Amen, that's right, amen. 16:37 But I, in under grad, I studied nutrition, 16:39 mostly to just prove to my grandmas 16:41 that I wasn't going to shrivel up 16:43 and die being a vegetarian. 16:44 Yeah. 16:45 And say, "How are you gonna get your nutrients, right?" 16:47 Exactly. 16:48 You need calcium, and protein, and all that stuff. 16:49 Exactly. 16:51 And so it was quite a privilege, it really... 16:54 I started learning about Adventist 16:56 actually through clinical research 16:58 and writing my research papers. 17:00 And I just kept coming upon these Adventists 17:02 and how they were living longer. 17:03 And this is back in the, you know, 17:05 late '80s, early '90s. 17:08 But I never met one. 17:09 So even then, 17:12 I started shopping at health food stores for a while. 17:15 I actually lived in Silver Spring, 17:17 but I never actually met 17:19 and befriended a real Adventist 17:20 until I was about 35. 17:22 And even then, 17:24 I kind of put Adventists in a different category 17:27 from other Christians. 17:29 Jesus was always important to me. 17:30 Amen. 17:32 But I just had that barrier in my mind, you know. 17:34 And just praise God, really... 17:36 Actually, it was in part the final thing 17:39 that got me to cross over the line 17:41 was going to Uganda 17:43 and meeting members of our church in Uganda. 17:46 And there... 17:48 just active prayers on my behalf. 17:51 I was baptized actually in December 2015. 17:55 Amen. Wow. 17:57 So why did you go to Uganda? 17:59 I went with the Farmer-to-Farmer program. 18:02 I'm a nutritionist and they wanted someone 18:05 who could transform the soybeans 18:07 that they were growing into food 18:09 that their children could eat 18:10 and also that they could make small businesses out of. 18:13 And sadly, they have been growing soyas 18:16 since the '60s or soybeans, we call them. 18:19 In Africa, they are called soya. 18:20 Since the '60s 18:22 but they don't give it to their children, 18:24 and the protein malnutrition 18:25 there is very high for the children. 18:27 More than 30% of the children are stunted, 18:30 which is actually a life long condition 18:31 that decreases their mental capacity 18:34 as well as their earning potential for life. 18:37 So it's interesting. 18:38 So even as a young child, 18:40 you were very interested in health, 18:41 nutrition and seems like others. 18:42 You have heart for animals and then, you now, 18:44 that's just right into people, you know, 18:45 you're still having to care for others 18:46 and wanting to better them. 18:48 Yes, and I spent most of my 20s overseas 18:52 and I learned a lot of different things, 18:56 mostly in Latin America. 18:57 I speak Spanish and Portuguese so people would say, 18:59 "Well, why are you in Africa?" 19:02 But really it's because of the data in Africa. 19:04 It's the continent that has truly been left behind 19:08 in terms of a lot of our development. 19:10 And so that's where my heart has been drawn. 19:14 Wow. 19:15 Amazing, there's a lot more I know to your story, 19:17 that was just a real quick synopsis but, yeah, 19:19 it's really neat how God has led you, you know, 19:21 to where you are now and how He is using you. 19:22 Amen, He is faithful. 19:23 Helping others, that is great. 19:25 So, Jacob, tell us your story? Yes, yes. 19:27 I know you're from Africa. 19:28 Yes, I'm from Kenya. Kenya. 19:30 I was raised in Kenya. 19:34 My grandfather was a Seventh-day Adventist pastor. 19:36 So I have a good foundation in the Adventist church. 19:42 I used to preach when I was in primary school, 19:47 I think you call it grade school in America. 19:48 Oh, that's great. 19:49 So as you grow, 19:54 as you continue, 19:56 you continue to learn on the challenges 20:00 that affect us as human beings, 20:04 the difficulties that we go through. 20:06 I wasn't born in an effluent home, you know, 20:10 but my grandfather instilled in us 20:13 the principle of Christianity. 20:16 Amen. Wow. 20:17 Who is a Christian? 20:20 And what does it mean to follow Jesus Christ? 20:23 Everyday in the evening, 20:25 after we would take care of the cows 20:31 during the day and in the evening 20:32 you sit down next to him, and he started teaching you. 20:36 He started training you in the right way, 20:38 that is why I say, 20:40 "Train a child in the right way, 20:42 and he will never depart from it." 20:45 That is why you would come to America, 20:48 different culture, 20:49 and you still find yourself in church, 20:51 that is where we met with Joy. 20:53 Wow. Yeah. 20:55 When the district was holding nutrition class, 20:59 and then Joy came to our church. 21:02 I go to at our Seventh-day Adventist church. 21:06 And then when we met with Joy, 21:10 she asked me a little bit about my background. 21:13 And I told her of my passion to see into it 21:17 that we can do something about this Farm Stew, 21:22 everything that we've talked about in Farm Stew. 21:24 Actually, Farm Stew was not registered 21:27 when we met. 21:28 We started brainstorming, 21:30 how can we bring together her ideas in nutrition 21:37 and my ideas in sanitation and water. 21:41 And then we thought about 21:42 starting an organization called Farm Stew. 21:46 And that is where we are at now. 21:47 Wow. Yes. 21:49 Praise God, it's neat, isn't it, 21:50 when you look back to see how God has led, you know, 21:51 to bring a ministry together, 21:53 the people involve to make a ministry happen. 21:55 Absolutely. 21:56 So both of you have families, 21:57 I know you're civil engineer, Jacob. 21:59 Do you have a wife and a couple of little girls? 22:01 Yes, I'm a civil engineer 22:03 with Illinois department of transportation, 22:06 project studies engineer. 22:09 I have a wife, 22:11 two little kids, Elsa and Joy. 22:14 Elsa is three years old. 22:16 She just started school. 22:20 Yes, my wife is going to school. 22:25 We are praying about it 22:26 and God is opening opportunities. 22:28 Praise the Lord. Yes. 22:29 And you too, Joy. 22:30 I know you have a family. 22:32 Yes, I have two little girls and my husband, Matt. 22:34 And actually, my oldest is almost 22:36 as tall as I am, so... 22:38 She's not very little then anymore. 22:40 Right, vegetarian didn't stunt me or her, so... 22:43 Wow. 22:45 Well, let's get into Farm Stew then. 22:47 So tell us little about... 22:48 the ministry started just a couple of years ago. 22:50 Yes. 22:51 Yeah, just walk us through that? 22:53 Yes, we have a wonderful team in Uganda. 22:57 We actually now have six staff there, 22:59 full time, and a board of directors. 23:02 They are extremely dedicated. 23:05 They've trained 13,000 people. 23:08 13,000? Yeah. 23:09 Yes, that's a lot. 23:10 And they've been invited... 23:12 mostly we go into villages deep in rural areas, 23:15 where most non-government organizations 23:18 can't get to or don't try, 23:20 but we've also been invited to hospitals, 23:23 many schools, prisons. 23:26 We were at a crisis pregnancy center last week 23:29 and it's been beautiful. 23:31 And we're working in a area that's 80% Muslim in Uganda. 23:35 And they have been very, very open to this training. 23:38 And in fact, 23:39 when I was there in November with Dr. Arlene Virgilia, 23:42 one of our board members, 23:44 we were invited back to Muslim community 23:47 where they really wanted to thank us 23:49 for the training and share the story of 23:52 how their training had made an impact. 23:54 We have a picture of that I think. 23:55 We do, yes. 23:56 That's it, isn't it? Wow. 23:58 Yes, we were there in November, 23:59 we shared with them, 24:00 really focused on plant-based nutrition. 24:02 They're holding brochures that 24:03 I would be happy to send to anyone 24:05 who wanted to contact me. 24:07 Is Dr. Arlene in here? 24:08 Dr. Arlene is in the blue shirt with the hat. 24:10 And right behind her is Edward Kawesa, 24:12 he is the Farm Stew, Uganda president. 24:14 Pulling up like a large banner or sign there. 24:16 Yes, that's a banner of our 24:18 rainbow of fruits and vegetables. 24:20 There are over two billion people on the planet 24:23 that have micronutrient deficiencies. 24:25 So explain to me what that is? 24:27 What it means is they are deficient of a particular like 24:30 vitamin or mineral. 24:32 And it's called hidden hunger 24:33 because they don't know that they are hungry, 24:35 but because of that deficiency, 24:37 their immune system is compromised. 24:39 And so they're more susceptible to illnesses, 24:42 whether it come from water or of course, 24:45 we're on the continent of Africa, 24:46 HIV AIDS is a big problem still to this day. 24:50 And so they need the strongest immune system we can build. 24:54 And God is so good. 24:55 He told us to eat that which is pleasing to the eye. 24:59 And so what is more pleasing to the eye 25:01 than the whole variety of rainbow of colors. 25:03 And interestingly, 25:05 if you eat across the rainbow color spectrum, 25:08 you get the micronutrients that you need. 25:10 And it is worth noting that these fruits are fruits 25:15 that are locally available. 25:17 That's what I was gonna ask. 25:18 Are these assessable? 25:20 Yes, something like a guava, very locally available. 25:25 Papayas, locally available. 25:30 We call them mayambes, mangoes. 25:32 Mangoes. 25:34 Yes, very locally available. 25:35 So not that they are some exotic 25:39 or transported from somewhere. 25:41 Right. 25:42 Yeah, we always focus on local foods. 25:44 Everything is local, 25:45 we're not bringing in anything except for ideas, 25:48 but what we're doing is, 25:49 trying to go back to some of the ancient ideas 25:51 as well like, for example, with mangoes, 25:54 a lot of the times, they're rotting 25:56 because the trees are just out there in the villages 25:58 and so they're dropping all ripe at the same time. 26:01 So we're trying to promote dried mangoes, 26:04 which can be a food source of vitamin A is 26:07 what's represented by that orange color 26:09 in many different natural foods that are orange. 26:13 That vitamin, it can be the difference 26:14 between life and death for a child. 26:15 Wow. 26:17 Well, yeah, that's amazing. 26:18 So you're... 26:20 Yeah, so really it's an education, isn't it, 26:21 is what this is, 26:23 educating the local people on how to live healthfully. 26:26 And the beautiful thing is, 26:27 it's local people educating local people. 26:29 So our team is 100% Ugandan. 26:32 And then we also have a team in Zimbabwe. 26:36 Right now, we don't have the funds 26:37 to be able to hire staff in Zimbabwe. 26:39 It's a bit more expensive, 26:40 but we have a very dedicated volunteer staff there 26:43 and board of directors. 26:44 In fact, there is a retired Adventist pastor, 26:47 his name is Pastor Richard Black. 26:49 He is our treasurer in Zimbabwe, 26:52 and also our treasurer in Uganda is 26:55 the retired ADRA financial director. 26:58 So we have really good systems in place to assure that 27:01 any funds directed our way are used really well. 27:05 Now you have an interesting map regarding... 27:06 Is it world hunger? Yes. 27:08 That's amazing. Yes. 27:10 This picture is one that I was exposed to decades ago 27:13 and it's really fused on my mind, 27:16 not only the children's faces but the areas of hunger. 27:20 So you see the darker colors... 27:22 What's the difference in the color? 27:23 Yeah, the darker colors are where food insecurity 27:25 or hunger is more severe 27:27 and so you can see the continent of Africa... 27:29 I was just gonna say that. It's tremendous. 27:31 ..is really struggling. 27:32 And China, India are kind of... 27:33 Or Asia. 27:35 Yeah, there are some countries within Asia 27:36 that are also struggling with hunger. 27:39 But the red is the worst, is that what you're saying? 27:40 The red is the worst 27:42 and the orange is the next stage. 27:43 Wow. 27:45 So and we also have an image about lifespan 27:47 and wealth that really shares this as well. 27:50 This is the graph where it shows the life expectancy 27:54 and the blue figures are Africa. 27:58 The orange figures are... 28:00 I'm sorry, the red figures are Asia. 28:01 Okay. 28:03 And so on the bottom, it's their income, 28:05 and on the side, it's their life expectancy. 28:08 So you can see that Africa is quite a bit lower 28:11 both in income and life expectancy. 28:14 Asia still lags behind Europe and the Americas. 28:18 So that's, kind of, 28:19 our target is villages in Africa and Asia. 28:22 And 75% of the world's poor live in rural villages 28:26 in Africa and Asia, 28:27 and 70% of them are subsistence farmers. 28:30 So that's why we start with farming practices. 28:33 You said 75, I mean, 28:34 you just rattled that number off 28:36 so fast, but 75%... 28:37 Of the world's poor... 28:39 Of the world... 28:40 Yes. Oh, that's incredible. 28:42 And, you know, these are people that don't make the headlines. 28:44 Like I know here, you know, you're in a town of 500 people. 28:48 I'm from a town of... Thompsonville as well. 28:50 I'm from a town of 700 people. 28:52 We never make the news, right? 28:53 Oh, you're right. 28:54 And, but these are people that they're not on the news, 28:57 nobody really pays attention. 28:58 But they are the poor of the world 29:01 and they are the least of these 29:02 that Jesus tells us to focus upon. 29:04 And He's gonna ask us when we get to heaven, 29:06 what we did? 29:08 So you educate them in part of what you do in the training 29:11 and the local people educate local people, correct. 29:13 Exactly. 29:15 So they would educate in nutrition 29:16 and the different techniques of farming in what type? 29:20 Well, we do a big component on soy... 29:23 Okay. ..nutrition, so... 29:24 All right, we're getting close to this little prop, all right. 29:26 Yeah, I know Greg's getting excited. 29:27 Greg's excited. 29:29 So one of the things we talk about is the seed. 29:32 Now God told us in Genesis 1:29, 29:35 He gave us the first dietary guidelines 29:37 and He told us to eat seeds 29:39 and the fruits from the trees and plants. 29:41 And so we talk about soybeans are a type of seed. 29:46 And this is a treasure trove, it has... 29:50 So those are dried soybeans that people can have. 29:51 These are dried soybeans and with this amount, 29:53 you can make about a quart of soymilk. 29:56 So soy is by far the cheapest best quality protein 30:00 that the poor can afford. 30:01 Most of the poor are actually vegetarians 30:03 or even vegans globally. 30:05 And it's not always by choice 30:07 but even if they're raising animals, 30:09 it's their cash crop, right? 30:11 Yeah, just gonna ask you that, Jacob, 30:12 did your family grow soybeans or your friends, 30:15 I'm sure somebody did. 30:17 Yes, but, you know, education is very good. 30:21 Okay. 30:22 We would grow that and at times 30:24 just boil it and eat it. 30:26 Not knowing that as we do that, 30:28 we kill the good nutrients that 30:31 we are supposed to get from them. 30:32 You just grow it, you would boil it, eat it. 30:34 Yes. 30:35 So Farm Stew teaches the locals that 30:40 we can produce milk from Farm Stew. 30:43 A lot more other products that can get from... 30:45 From soybeans. 30:46 ..from soybeans. 30:48 And we actually do want to boil it because... 30:50 but we want to soak it first. 30:52 And the reason being is that God, 30:55 I believe put preservatives in the seeds. 30:58 A lot of nutritionists call it anti-nutritional factors, 31:00 phytic acid. 31:02 There are some controversy in our country about soy, 31:04 but I believe it's because 31:05 we're not preparing it correctly. 31:07 If we soak it overnight, 31:09 and the water goes all the way into to the core of the seed, 31:11 it activates the enzymes that 31:13 break down the God's preservatives. 31:16 Amen. 31:17 And how I like to think of it is, 31:19 it's really like baptizing the seeds, 31:21 because when they get dry and hard like that, 31:24 there's sort of things that are like toxins. 31:26 And so when we get baptized, 31:28 and it soaks to the very core of our being, 31:31 sin comes out. 31:32 When it goes, the toxins go out 31:34 and then you can consume, 31:36 and really absorb all the nutrients. 31:38 Wow. 31:39 So when you soak it over night, 31:42 and then even if you do boil it, 31:44 you still get the nutrients? 31:45 Yeah, you pour off that water 31:47 and then you boil it with fresh water. 31:49 And it's so quite a simple process, 31:50 I think we have a picture of a woman making soymilk 31:53 in this very apparatus which Greg could make himself. 31:57 That is totally amazing, 31:59 that I don't know that I could but I'm sure I could. 32:01 Wow. 32:02 So this is someone making soymilk using a... 32:05 Make sure I get all the words right, 32:07 this is a mortar? 32:08 Yes. 32:09 And make sure I... 32:11 Pestle. Pestle. 32:12 Yes. Okay. 32:14 So you put the soybeans in? Yes. 32:15 So they're boiled, oh, no, they're soaked. 32:17 They've been soaked for 12 hours 32:19 and then you can either cook them for half an hour 32:22 or you can mash them first and then cook them. 32:25 Africans generally drink their milk hot in like a tea form. 32:29 And so they have been pounding it first, 32:32 and then adding back in the water 32:35 that makes it the milk 32:36 and then they boil it for half an hour. 32:37 And all of those things, 32:39 all those steps are important 32:40 for bio availability of the nutrients. 32:43 And we use these training cards, 32:45 they're available on our website on FarmStew.org. 32:48 So anybody could take one of those training cards, 32:50 there's a Bible study that goes with it. 32:52 Amen. 32:53 And then they can learn 32:54 how to make it in their own community. 32:56 So, Jacob, is there lot of shock 32:58 when someone says, 32:59 "Oh, you can make milk with these sort of things." 33:02 It is. 33:04 Yeah, it's like, "What!" 33:05 What the common man knows is that 33:08 milk come from cows. 33:09 Oh, yeah. Full stop. 33:11 Not knowing that God, 33:14 in His mysterious ways provided to us 33:18 through a lot more other means. 33:23 That is why, 33:24 He made the Garden of Eden perfect. 33:29 Before He placed us in the Garden of Eden, 33:31 He made sure that the Garden of Eden was perfect. 33:38 It's like that we did not lack anything. 33:39 That's right. 33:41 But out of sin, 33:45 our minds have been changed to think that probably, 33:50 you know, for you to have milk 33:53 you just have to have a cow, you know. 33:56 And, you know, lately even in the studies, 33:59 we find that cow milk has a lot of disadvantages. 34:04 That is why it is very necessary for us 34:06 to focus our training on agricultural produce. 34:08 Yes. 34:10 One of them is soy. 34:12 And 80% or more of Africans are lactose intolerant. 34:18 Really? 34:20 So not only do you have 34:21 the issues of contamination in the milk 34:23 because often the animals are consuming 34:25 various things like, 34:27 the moldy grains that are also quite toxic, 34:30 but also they can't really even observe 34:33 the carbohydrates in the milk, so soymilk is a real blessing. 34:37 And, yeah, they think they've been tricked sometimes. 34:39 They say, "There's a green cow, 34:41 where did you get it?" 34:44 And it's also so much... 34:45 you can make, with one kilo of soybeans, 34:48 you can make six quarts of milk. 34:51 And to buy one cup of milk, it's so expensive. 34:55 Most children never get a cup of real milk. 34:58 So this must be a daily process then, is that right? 35:00 Or there are lot of refrigerators to... 35:02 There's no electricity or anything. 35:04 Yeah, okay. 35:05 So no electricity, so this is very rural. 35:06 That's a privilege. Yes. 35:08 that's a privilege like flush toilets. 35:09 Yes. Yes. 35:10 That's a privilege. 35:12 So this is the daily process then... 35:13 Yes. 35:14 ..in villages, many villages. 35:16 Well, and what's happening now is that 35:17 the women are taking the by-product from the soy. 35:19 We squeeze it in a cloth, 35:20 kind of like squeezing the udder of a cow 35:22 and there is a by-product left over 35:23 that's very high in fiber, 35:25 and protein, and micronutrients. 35:27 And so we take that 35:28 and make a traditional African food called "Mandazi," 35:31 but this is soy mandazi, 35:33 so we chop up a rainbow of vegetables and add it. 35:37 So we are trying to get our rainbow 35:38 and our soy in one food. 35:40 And there is numbers of women 35:42 that are actually making a living, 35:43 Florence is one of them, 35:44 I sat with in November and she... 35:48 her husband is a elder in our church 35:50 and they are sending their kids to school 35:52 with the money she is making, making soy mandazi. 35:55 Amen. 35:56 So that goes to the enterprise part of Stew... 35:57 Exactly. 35:59 ..that you are talking about in that acronym... 36:00 Exactly. 36:01 E for enterprise, that's great. 36:03 Exactly. So this is amazing. 36:04 I'm thinking, just a little soybean, 36:05 you know, small maybe cast aside 36:08 or boiled and just eaten. 36:09 If done properly, you can, it's nutritious. 36:13 Yes. 36:14 It's much more economical. Yes. 36:16 It's sanitary and it's... 36:19 helps to provide for your family. 36:21 Exactly. That's amazing. 36:23 Maybe you can pull up the picture 36:24 where we have the kitchen that they are... 36:26 Okay. 36:27 Yeah, let's look at that. 36:29 ..cooking and... 36:30 They're cooking, okay. Yeah. 36:31 So this is one of our typical classes, 36:33 you can see the stove 36:35 so to speak is a three stone fire... 36:37 It's amazing. See that. 36:39 And that's Fiona, 36:40 training with her Farm Stew Uganda shirt. 36:41 Okay. 36:43 You know, that's incredible, you know, and again, 36:45 that's where we have a stove here in the states, 36:46 that's a privilege, isn't it? 36:49 I would stress that enough. 36:52 So what are they cooking? 36:53 Right there, they are boiling the soybeans 36:55 and then they are also making the soy milk and then, 36:57 I think, we have another picture 36:59 where Betty has made tofu. 37:01 Oh, wow. Oh, nice. 37:02 That was the next picture, right? 37:03 Yeah, that's quite a neat story because honestly, 37:06 when I first went to Uganda, 37:07 I didn't want to get complicated 37:09 and bring in a lot of foreign ideas. 37:10 I knew people would want milk 37:12 and I knew they needed the protein. 37:14 But Betty raised her hand on the first day I met her... 37:17 Is Betty in the green shirt? 37:18 Betty's in the green, yes. Okay. 37:20 And she raised her hand when I said, 37:22 "Does anybody know about making soy milk?" 37:23 And she says, 37:25 "Yes, and I know how to make soy meat as well." 37:27 I said, "Who is this woman? 37:29 I want to meet her." 37:31 And sure enough she had been trained at Bugema University, 37:34 an Adventist university nearby in hotel management. 37:38 So she is who introduced the soy mandazi, 37:40 I can't take credit for the recipe, 37:41 but it's delicious 37:43 and she calls this soy scrambled eggs instead of tofu. 37:46 Okay. 37:48 Which again, the animal protein, 37:49 a lot of people 37:51 want to be able to give their kids animal protein 37:53 and they almost feel guilty and shameful 37:55 that they can't feed the kids the best. 37:57 I mean, they can't afford it. Right. 37:59 But in fact, nutritionally tofu 38:01 and the scrambled eggs are very similar, 38:03 so there's no false advertising there. 38:04 This is as good for you, 38:06 if not actually better than the eggs. 38:09 Wow. 38:10 Then you had a picture of something 38:11 with the school garden. 38:13 Yes. 38:14 Yes. Yes. 38:15 So we are also teaching gardening. 38:17 Maybe you want to talk about that. 38:18 Yes, yes. 38:20 This is Edward, our president in Uganda. 38:23 Okay. 38:24 And the school is a population of 1,200, right. 38:28 Wow. 38:29 And we grow gardens just like that. 38:32 Those are kales. Nice. 38:33 I think... 38:35 They look beautiful and healthy. 38:36 And healthy. 38:37 Look at that dark soil. It looks great. 38:39 Yes, that's how we know it, 38:40 but in Africa we call it sukuma wiki. 38:41 Okay. 38:43 Sukuma wiki? 38:44 Sukuma wiki means that it is a staple food 38:46 that pushes you through the week. 38:47 Okay. 38:49 It gives you extra boost of energy. 38:50 Yes, yes, quite nutritious and... 38:53 So is this an Adventist school? 38:54 Yes. Yes. 38:56 And it's 80% attended by Muslims 38:58 and they often have about 100 children each year 39:02 that get to know Jesus 39:04 and come to the Lord through baptism. 39:06 What a tremendous ministry. 39:07 Yes. It's incredible. 39:09 Their headmaster is Mark Quiesa 39:11 and he is actually our board president in Uganda. 39:14 Wow. 39:15 So I've just been so blessed by getting to know 39:17 this family of faith globally. 39:19 Really they are powerful witnesses 39:22 in their own community 39:23 and they want to reach out more and more. 39:25 Amen. 39:26 How many acres do you have at the school for gardens? 39:29 Because that was just, I'm sure just a small plot. 39:31 Yeah. 39:33 I think, it's probably about half an acre there. 39:35 It's not a big garden... 39:36 No, okay. 39:38 But we are just trying to use these farming practices 39:41 that are taught by Zimbabwean organization 39:43 actually called Foundations for Farming, 39:45 the foundation being Jesus Christ. 39:47 And we're trying, 39:48 again not to send a lot of things 39:50 from America or even ideas. 39:52 This is a home grown African agricultural curriculum 39:56 that is Bible based and evidence based. 39:58 So we are... 40:00 I actually got to train there 40:01 last March in Zimbabwe and then, 40:04 immediately thereafter 40:05 I was a health evangelist with "It Is Written." 40:08 So that was a real treat. 40:09 Amen. Oh, amen. 40:11 I know you have a graphic, I think of the seed, is it? 40:14 The three parts... 40:15 Yes. 40:16 Of a seed. Yes. 40:18 Explain that to us? 40:19 Well, it's one of the ways 40:20 we introduce the gospel through our curriculum 40:22 because we are working with subsistence farmers... 40:23 There we go. 40:24 And so on the bottom part we demonstrate to them 40:26 that there is no seed on the planet 40:29 that isn't a picture of God, 40:31 the three in one God. 40:33 Wow, that's deep. Yeah. 40:34 And you know, Romans 1:20 just tells us that, 40:38 "The invisible attributes of God are seen 40:40 through everything He created and that His Godhead is seen." 40:44 And so we really hope to plant 40:47 in the minds of all these farmers 40:48 that whenever they hold a seed 40:50 and they are going to plant it that 40:52 it's a picture of the Trinity. 40:54 And then also we want to emphasize to them 40:57 that eating the whole seed 40:58 or the whole grain is actually much healthier for them 41:01 than when they are just eating one part of it 41:03 that's separated out 41:05 by the industrialized food system. 41:06 Amen. 41:08 And then on the top we use Ezekiel 4:9 41:11 to show a plant-based nutrition recipe 41:15 that God gave the prophet Ezekiel. 41:17 And as a nutritionist, 41:18 it's one more confirmation to me that God is amazing 41:22 because the ratio is perfect 41:25 for really the protein absorbability 41:27 and there's other factors in just the specific ingredients 41:31 but also God told Ezekiel to soak the grains, 41:35 I believe, He told him to soak. 41:36 He said to put in a vessel, I believe, 41:38 there was water in that vessel. 41:39 So when you soak the grains, you increase the nutrients. 41:43 And it's a very traditional African practice to soak... 41:46 Is it really? 41:47 ..grains. Yes. 41:49 But it's been left behind often. 41:51 Correct. 41:56 People tend to move to faster way of doing things 41:59 instead of looking at... 42:01 Yeah, very true. 42:02 ..what God provided us with. 42:05 And that is what Farm Stew focus at. 42:08 Let's get back to what God created. 42:12 Actually we have a video about that as well, 42:15 we might wanna clip that in. 42:16 All right. 42:18 Well, let's go to that video now. 42:20 Joy missioned about the life 42:23 of my late grandmother called Tabitha, 42:26 who lived up to 115 years. 42:29 What composed of her diet, what was her diet? 42:33 She was feeding, eating soaked grains. 42:38 Sorghum, maize, millet, 42:42 pumpkin seeds, unpeeled sweet potatoes. 42:47 We talked about eating the whole grain. 42:51 So for her she was... 42:52 we grew up feeding on unpeeled, you know, sweet potatoes. 42:58 Anyways, don't get surprised 43:00 if I also live up to 115 or 120. 43:05 That's a line I'm, that's the diet I was fed on. 43:09 But going back to the ancient ways, 43:14 I think that is what Farm Stew is coming 43:18 and bringing on board that we need to come back 43:22 and go back to the foundations. 43:24 And I think God is happy. 43:26 I think God is happy 43:28 when His children come to realize, 43:30 come to a point of, you know, 43:31 coming back to the ancient ways of the foundation. 43:36 By so doing we touch God's hand, 43:38 can you imagine? 43:40 We touch God's hand when we took His way. 43:43 Amen. Yeah, amen. 43:46 Just like the testament that we shared 43:49 when we're in Nairobi, 43:51 committed transformation begins with an individual. 43:55 It's you. 43:56 It has to begin with me, 43:59 not us but me. 44:02 Am I doing it at my home? 44:05 Am I doing it... 44:06 Am I eating the diet 44:07 that I am teaching other people to eat to what to feed on? 44:13 Well, we came back from Nairobi, 44:14 there are some things I've told my family, 44:16 I sat down with my family. 44:18 I said, "As for this, as for this, as for this, 44:22 we do not want to have, you know, 44:24 aflatoxin issues here around." 44:28 We shall be talking about more of aflatoxin, 44:30 but we are going back to foundations 44:33 and we'll say bye-bye to aflatoxin 44:36 even in our community. 44:38 It's coming. 44:40 Amen. What a blessing. 44:41 So tell us exactly in that... 44:43 he was your board chairman... 44:44 Yeah, a board member actually. 44:46 He is a board member, okay, 44:47 of Farm Stew, Uganda again, 44:50 I like what he said there. 44:51 I mean, that's powerful saying 44:53 we have to practice basically what we are preaching, 44:55 what we are sharing to others. 44:57 It has to affect us individually. 44:58 Exactly. 45:00 So this video is actually shot in Uganda, 45:01 is that right? 45:02 Yes. A board meeting or... 45:04 On my iPhone in November, so... 45:05 Right. 45:06 Yeah, we have a very dedicated board 45:10 and it's exciting to see them 45:12 starting to actually interview people 45:14 and take responsibility and accountability for people, 45:17 we're getting a lot of data back also on the trainings 45:20 and just really tracking and having the structures 45:22 we need to make sure that 45:24 we can make a real impact in that region of Uganda. 45:30 We are trying to measure two things 45:32 that we can show that impact 45:33 with we are trying to increase the dietary diversity. 45:36 Making sure that people aren't just eating starches 45:38 that fill their bellies, 45:40 which is kind of the food of the poorest often 45:43 just things that fill their bellies 45:45 but don't nourish. 45:46 And then also we want to impact food security. 45:50 So making sure people 45:51 know what they're going to eat and have it available. 45:54 And in that area, 45:56 they are very food insecure right now. 45:59 You know, I want to mention that 46:00 'cause I know there is an amazing picture, 46:02 I think, of some actually filling out a little, 46:03 I don't know what you call it, a survey or something... 46:05 Yes. 46:07 And I think somebody just, 46:09 was it breakfast had a cup of tea, 46:11 is that right? 46:12 There it is. 46:14 It's may be quite hard to read on the screen 46:16 but a cup of tea for breakfast, what is it for lunch? 46:18 No food for lunch. 46:19 No food for lunch. Wow. 46:21 And what is... 46:22 Sweet potatoes for supper. 46:24 And these are in general white sweet potatoes 46:26 which we are hoping to change... 46:27 How sad. Yeah. 46:29 So, Jacob, is that pretty, I mean, 46:31 is that familiar that type of, I mean, 46:34 is that just 1 in a 100 eat like that 46:35 or is that everybody? 46:37 That's way of life. Wow. 46:38 Yes, that is the way of life. 46:40 So, we are trying to, 46:41 we are trying to restructure their thought on balanced diet. 46:47 Not looking at the expense part of it, 46:51 by just using the locally grown food. 46:55 Yes. 46:57 It's incredible 46:58 what God is doing already in your ministry 47:00 and it's so new and yeah, 47:02 well, how God is expanding that. 47:04 What is your vision? 47:05 What would you like to see accomplished, of course, 47:08 it's God's vision, 47:09 but what is God opening before 47:12 as the vision for this ministry? 47:14 Well, we really see Farm Stew as a focus on the family. 47:17 We want families to be able to thrive 47:19 right where they are. 47:21 So often people have to leave 47:23 either their country or head to the city 47:26 to be able to make a living, 47:28 and we want people to have that abundant life 47:30 right there in the garden where they were placed. 47:32 Wow. 47:34 And we believe that's possible, so many of us in North America, 47:37 you know, and we're trying to get off the grid. 47:39 Well, these guys never were on the grid. 47:42 And we want to start growing our own food, 47:44 well, they don't have any other option, you know. 47:47 So we wanna equip and empower them 47:49 so they can be successful in what they are doing. 47:51 And we wanna work through the local church, 47:53 we believe in the power of the 19.5 million members 47:57 in this church. 47:58 Yes. 47:59 And we believe that God wants us 48:01 all to have abundant life that 48:02 North American Adventists are benefiting 48:04 from with this 10 extra years. 48:06 Right now, North American Adventist have 48:09 basically 50% more life than a African. 48:13 And so if you think about what our churches doing 48:17 in Uganda, and Zimbabwe, 48:18 and all these other countries 48:20 with these tremendous evangelistic efforts, 48:22 what could they do if they actually felt good? 48:25 What could they do with 30 more years? 48:28 We'd love to close that gap of life expectancy 48:31 and just have abundant life for all. 48:33 Amen. 48:34 Yeah, you know, that is huge when you think about it, 48:36 you know, because when you are talking about 48:38 this whole Farm Stew, 48:40 it really is about feeling good, isn't it? 48:41 You know, far as your nutritionally, 48:43 you feel good, you are getting your rest, 48:45 good drinking water, you are less sickness... 48:47 Yes. Right. 48:48 If you have good clean sanitation... 48:49 Yes. 48:51 That means then that you are more productive, 48:52 you'll live longer and when you are live longer 48:54 and in a good health and following the Lord, 48:56 you are witness for that many more years too 48:58 for what God can do. 48:59 Exactly. That's powerful. 49:01 I love it, I love it, I love it. 49:02 And, you know, the spiritual health too is 49:03 such an important part of this and there is, you know, 49:06 the strategy of total member involvement. 49:09 And what's been so exciting for me is 49:11 I feel that the local churches 49:14 even at the union and division level in Africa, 49:17 they are seeing the power of Farm Stew 49:19 for part of their total member involvement strategy... 49:22 Amen. 49:23 And I would love to have more resources 49:25 to be able to equip them with the training tools. 49:28 We have great brochures, 49:30 we have a lot of things on our website FarmStew.org 49:33 that we can, they can download, 49:35 they can photocopy, 49:36 we don't have any rights on anything. 49:39 We want this information to be spread far and wide. 49:42 So before we go, 49:43 we will give the contact information 49:45 where you can contact them for yourself. 49:47 But before we get to that, 49:48 tell us what would be some of your 49:50 urgent needs at this time. 49:51 How much does it cost for the local workers there? 49:55 And what are some other needs that you have? 49:58 First prayer. Amen. 50:00 Pray for us. Yeah. 50:02 Get involved with us. 50:05 To support a worker in Uganda, we spend about $120. 50:11 A month? A month. 50:13 Okay, to support one worker is only a $120? 50:16 Yes. 50:18 And that's wages, that's gas for the motor cycles 50:21 that they go out on, 50:22 that's supplies for the training packs 50:24 for the community. 50:26 And this worker does what? 50:27 They go out and educate? 50:28 Yes, four days a week, they are out training. 50:31 And I'm telling you, I was there. 50:32 It's a growing pace really 50:35 because they are out dawn to dusk 50:37 and sometimes much later, 50:40 but they want to be out in the villages. 50:42 They're excited. 50:43 When you drive by on the motor cycle, 50:45 people will come out and basically, 50:47 celebrate you even if you're just passing through. 50:50 'Cause they're so thankful. 50:51 Yes, so imagine that in one year, 50:54 we have reached over 13,000. 50:55 Yes.
