God's Leaf Project

HAFF is really excited to be beginning a project referred to as God's Leaf Project. The goal is to encourage people to grow three highly nutritious, drought resistant plants and to use them often in their diets. The three plants are Chaya, Moringa and Basket Vine.

Feb 4th and 6th, HAFF invited the first 2 of 6 groups of the HAFF Ministry Team to come hear about Chaya and Moringa and to taste several recipes using both leaves.

The HAFF dorm cooks came and prepared 8 dishes for the ministry team to try -- some with Moringa, some with Chaya and some with both.


Met Justin started the presentation with a welcome, a hymn and devotion about how God has given us the gifts of nature to help us. After the devotion, Met Claude and Fr Millius and Connie shared about the benefits of Chaya and Moringa for health and nutrition. Then Ely and Carla shared about how to plant, care for and harvest the plants.

Finally, the ministry team was served 8 dishes with Chaya and Moringa and questions were answered and ideas were shared. The time ended up with a season of prayer for HAFF, the families that are a part of HAFF, for the country and the community.


And each family went home with cuttings of Chaya to plant in their yards. The hope is that these employees will share the benefits of Chaya and Moringa with their neighbors, churches and communities.
