We must assist the church in creating movements of multiplication. Equipping “fully trained,” passionate disciples to walk as Jesus walked!

Luke 6:40, I John 2:6

We must assist the church to equip and empower people with the character, knowledge and skills to start, grow and maintain a working career and live financially responsible.

Proverbs 10:4, 12:11-12, 16:3,
I Thessalonians 4:11-12

We believe producing healthy, indigenous farmers is vital to developing local and regional businesses. To accomplish this, we must intentionally invest in younger farmers with these (3) strategic steps of development.

I Timothy 2:2,
I Thessalonians 2:8

Training for Understanding

We envision regular training being offered around the world, resulting in a renewed passion for sustainable poultry production.

Coaching for Implementation

We envision carefully selecting farmers who are set apart to be coached for successful breeding, growing and marketing of poultry.

Mentoring for Multiplication

As we identify, train and coach younger farmers, our commitment is to strategically select “model farms” who are led by proven multipliers with the intention of multiplying sustainable farms everywhere!

We must assist the church in demonstrating and proclaiming the Gospel — spiritually, physically, emotionally, economically and psychologically.

Luke 4:18-19

We believe sustainable poultry production is defined by the ability to breed, grow and market chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys that are able to reproduce themselves with high fertility rates, are able to live vigorously in their indigenous climates and produce at a normal growth rate that is natural and proper for production.

Genesis 1:26-28

We must assist in equipping the church to minister “where they live,” in the region in which they are located, this includes the under-evangelized, overlooked and neglected and then onto the world!

Matthew 28:16-20,  Acts 1:8

We must assist the church in demonstrating and proclaiming the Gospel to the poor without forming dependency, aiming to break cycles of poverty, bring hope and lasting transformation to those we minister to.

James 1:27-2:13

Jim and Melissa Adkins joined Equip International in March 2014! We are honored to partner with Christ followers around the world who are committed to equipping, encouraging and empowering people with the character, knowledge and skills to be successful!

For almost 25 years Equip has been preparing Christian missionaries for service in remote areas. Equip training includes a wide range of practical courses under the general headings of water technology, medicine and health, sustainable agriculture, and communications.

Establishing Agriculture Multiplication Centers

The purpose of the Agricultural Multiplication Centers is create an environment where disciples are reproduced and sustainable poultry production models are multiplied! Our first priority is to prayerfully recruit, select and invest into younger leaders who are seeking AFTER more — available, faithful,

 teachable, enthused about the things of God and responsive to leadership. (Luke 5:1-11) Once they are chosen, they will be equipped and sent out with the character, knowledge and skills to plant Gospel Communities and develop small poultry enterprises – wherever God calls them!

To effectively multiply sustainable flocks of standard-bred poultry, we must partner

with our indigenous leaders to create model farms of sustainable agriculture so that

those being mentored can experience the “real life model” and learn from it.
