Praise Report from Decapolis, our Crown Stewardship Center in Nigeria

2024 was an incredible year for Decapolis, marked by significant growth, expansion, and new opportunities. These achievements inspired them to rewrite their mission and vision statement, which now reads:

“To empower the most vulnerable, lifting communities out of poverty through hands-on training in conservation agriculture, vocational skills, healthcare access, and renewable energy solutions.”Since attending the Foundations for Farming training, Decapolis has trained over 1,000 trainers. Looking ahead, they plan to equip 5,000 farmers in 2025.Their program is presented as teaching regenerative agriculture rather than conservation agriculture. This is because, in Nigeria, much of the land has been so degraded that there is little left to conserve—it must first be regenerated.

Although only 10% of trained farmers can report back on their progress, anecdotal evidence and the visible results from trained farmers suggest that the implementation rate is significantly higher.Decapolis has also been invited by an organization to train 1,000 farmers in their community. Of these, 400 have already completed the training.

Please keep them in your prayers for protection, renewed energy and for them to be able to continue to impact so many in Nigeria.
