Dave Luebkeman, Regional Director with Plant With Purpose enlightened us in the life changing work which that Not For Profit organization teaches and promotes in impoverished agro-economies.   Citing 800 million impoverished people worldwide, with 85% farmers, Dave went on to clearly describe the focus of PWP:  Environmental restoration, economic development and spiritual renewal.  With a very empowering hands on, local control approach, PWP educates farmers in soil fertility, crop selection and the value of trees and erosion control.  As villages become more self-supporting, micro-loans are set up with local capital which leverages ownership and multiplies profits, locally.  Within a theology of work, stewardship has grown, and PWP's impact is expanding.  For more information, visit their website at http://www.plantwithpurpose.org 
Thank you Dave for sharing your seeds of change, and driving all the way from Danville!
Oh well, better luck next time Eloise!  Next week 10 marbles left!
