The NAFHE Ministries Concept
Provide what she requests...
with the honor of what she's offered
Building Campsites and Community
We endeavor to construct regional campgrounds which will serve as communities for those currently homeless, where with guidance, lives may be changed.
Each camp will grow and provide for as much of its own source of food as is regionally and seasonally possible, teaching horticultural and gardening skills along the way. We will grow only safe, wholesome, nutritious, organic non-GMO foods enabling us to partake in nature's bounty, providing the entire community with the food and medicine our Creator and Heavenly Father intended, devoid of adulteration.
These camping areas will also become a place for education - nutrition education, alternative medicine, construction skills, animal husbandry, property and business management will all be taught as one site after another is constructed. These "campers" will become part of a "family", sharing in the chores of the camp, during hours when professional childcare can be provided. Campers will also have the opportunity to pick up training in food preparation, personal hygiene, and best housekeeping practices.
Selling What we Grow to our Wider Community
With the assistance and oversight of experienced farmers, our plan includes the sowing and harvesting of produce well beyond our own community needs. We will focus on growing and providing foods to the general public that help to develop a healthy mind and body, our produce will be organically grown and known to be key to one of our core commitments - making our food medicine, and our medicine - good food.
That which is over the requirements for our community will be offered to our larger community and of the highest quality and fairest possible price. That will include both fresh/raw as well as prepared foods. Soy, as an example, is not a healthy product or ingredient, and will not be found in anything that we sell or produce (except as Nattokinase).
Offering Meals: A Healthy Daily Soup Kitchen
Wherever there is a found need, we hope to see our campsite communities step into the void, by serving up to three meals per day in any nearby city or town.
We will use both those ingredients that we produce ourselves and those donated and vetted as being conducive to a healthy body and mind. We will only serve what we would, ourselves, consume.
We intend to develop a veritable army of nutrition specialists.
Our course studies in this field will include food preparation, preservation, fermentation, and culturing. We will offer extensive training and experience in cooking (with healthy foods & methods), eating raw/living plants and vegetables, creating juices, growing organic grasses, processing home-grown meats and free-range eggs & poultry.
Developing Marketable & Durable Skills
Building trade skills are marketable commodities. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, landscaping and hardscaping are all in high demand, as are also auto repair, auto body repair, solar installations, and other sustainable technologies.
Good for the Body, Good for the Soul - we were created to work, to build and to create. Time and again it has been demonstrated that life satisfaction is closely associated with work satisfaction. Let a man step back at the end of a day and see the work of his hands (and of those around him) and the sense of pride, accomplishment and increasing workmanship will carry him well past the pain of hard work. .
Positively Impacting the Community Around Us
While having no desire to register as a 501(c)(3) entity, we will still plan to be known as a not-for-profit, charitable organization, accepting and passing on the blessing of donations from and to our communities.
We have every intention to make each of our campsite communities by known and respected in the broader community for 'given back'.
Through works of volunteer service, food and clothing distributions and works of service, we seek to be known as those that:
- Do Justly
- Love Mercy, and
- Walk Humbly with our Elohim.
Hosting One-to-One & Group Training Events
We have a powerful message and we intend to share it.
Through an annual series of NAFHE Conference Series Seminars, we hope to share the message of healthy living, eating and cooking. All conferences will pertain to the values of:
- Natural Health
- Living in freedom
- A Celebration of Rights
We will practice what we teach - by working closely with Integrative Orthopedic Doctors, Naturopathic Doctors, Certified Natural Health Professionals, and therapists, we plan to work on all levels and with a variety of group sizes to bring the message of living well to all who wish to hear and grow free and independent of harmful food and other substances.
