Send us a textWhat happens when churches embrace agriculture as ministry? Frank Sindler, Executive Director of Equipping Farmers International, reveals how biblical farming principles are transforming both landscapes and lives across the Global South.The numbers tell a striking story: approximately 70-80% of Christians in developing nations are farmers, yet for decades, mission efforts have overlooked this crucial aspect of discipleship. While churches planted throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America continue growing rapidly, many struggle with chronic food insecurity and dependence on Western funding. This disconnect between faith and farming has limited the church's ability to demonstrate Christ's redemptive power in tangible ways.Frank shares remarkable stories of transformation from multiple countries where EFI works. Farmers implementing conservation agriculture principles consistently see four to five-fold yield increases in their very first growing season—without expensive inputs. These dramatic improvements enable families to pay for education and healthcare while empowering local churches to fund their own ministry initiatives. In Liberia, one church network is already on track to replace half its outside funding with local agricultural revenue.Perhaps most surprising is the evangelistic impact. Without explicit proselytizing, these farming programs consistently lead to conversions among Muslims, Hindus, and adherents of traditional religions. As Frank explains, "Creation is like a doorway into God's heart." When people witness barren soil transformed into abundance through principles that honor the Creator's design, they naturally encounter the God behind those principles. Even an 85-year-old lifelong Christian described the training as "life-changing."The implications for global mission strategy are profound. As tens of millions come to faith in previously unreached regions, agricultural discipleship offers a sustainable pathway forward, unlocking local resources that far exceed what external support could provide. It challenges our compartmentalized thinking that separates "sacred" from "secular" activities, demonstrating that Christ's redemption extends to our relationship with creation itself.Ready to get involved?

Hey Rainmakers! It's Chelsey and Stephen here—and if you've ever dreamed about launching a product that changes lives and makes a global impact, you're going to love this episode. We sat down with Cherie Hoeger, founder of Saalt, a game-changing period care company that's shaking up the industry with sustainable, empowering products—and purpose at the core. Cherie shares how a simple conversation with a family member in Venezuela opened her eyes to the global crisis of period poverty—and inspired her to take action. Her passion led her to launch Saalt, a B Corp that's now found in Target, Walgreens, Amazon, and soon Walmart. With a mission to make high-quality, sustainable period care available to everyone, Saalt has donated over 130,000 products in more than 50 countries. Talk about legacy! In this episode, we go behind the scenes on what it really takes to bring a purpose-driven product to life—how Cherie went from technical writing to launching FDA-regulated products, and why “starting from stupid” actually worked in her favor. From her trial-and-error journey to building US-based manufacturing relationships to developing industry-first technology in their period underwear, her story is full of grit, grace, and incredible innovation. You'll also hear how customer education played a huge role in growing the brand, why they offer real-time support with “cup coaches,” and how Cherie and her husband built a pro-family workplace—complete with an in-office preschool. Moms, if you've ever felt pulled between purpose and family, this one's for you. This episode is proof that you can do it differently, create a brand that reflects your values, and serve your family and the world at the same time.  Links for this episode: Check Out Saalt & Get 10% Off: Saalt | Reusable Period Care | Period Care Simplified - https://www.saalt.com/rainmaker  Connect with us: ► Rainmaker Instagram: @therainmakerfamily ► Chelsey Instagram: @chels_diaz ► Stephen Instagram: @steezdiaz ► TikTok: @therainmakerfamily ► Facebook: @diazfamilylegacy ► Website: therainmakerfamily.com   Join Our Next Rainmaker Challenge - How To Make Passive Income From Home: https://therainmakerchallenge.com Save On Our Favorite Things: https://rainmakerfamily.com/deals Watch The Million Dollar Mama Case Study: https://www.makeitrainmomma.com/casestudy   Episode Minute by Minute:  0:00 - Meet Cherie Hoeger, Founder of Saalt 1:30 - The Conversation That Sparked a Global Mission 3:00 - What Is Period Poverty (and How Saalt Is Solving It) 5:00 - Cherie's First Steps in E-commerce 7:00 - Building with Passion (Not Just Profits) 10:00 - Becoming a Certified B Corp 12:00 - Educating the Market Without Shame 16:00 - Manufacturing in the U.S. and Innovation Hurdles 20:00 - Launching a Second Product: What Worked (and What Didn't) 24:00 - Why Customer Empathy Leads to Better Products 27:00 - Delight Budget + Real Human Support 29:00 - Work-Life Integration and Disrupting the 9-to-5 32:00 - The “Vital 5” and Structuring Your Life with Purpose 33:00 - Where to Find Saalt Products

Holy AmbitionsRomans 15:14-24Allan Matamoros

“Anyone who needs surgery around the world will be able to do it and get it and survive from it. And we're making significant impacts by delivering cleft surgery care and by educating and training more and more people each week. The numbers just increase and we're about to... launch something very special as this podcast is being aired, where we're going to really build and strengthen one hundred district hospitals around the world.” – Mark Climie-Elliott This episode's guest is the CEO and Chief Smile Officer of Operation Smile Canada Foundation. Operation Smile is one of the world's largest volunteer-delivered global medical charities, serving children born with cleft conditions in low and middle-income countries. Prior to joining Operation Smile, he spent more than forty years serving in a variety of leadership roles in the non-profit sector, children's rehabilitation, and international hospital start-ups in the Middle East.His name is Mark Climie-Elliott, and you'll want to hear where this discussion will take us. From helping children make sound to his philosophy on the importance of sound and why it matters so much to the kids his Foundation helps, there's a lot to cover. But I was extremely honored to help get the word out about this very worthy charity, and I hope, after you've listened to how passionate Mark is about this cause, that you'll check them out too.This conversation is being released during Podcasthon, so thank you to Jeremie and all the wonderful staff there putting this initiative together.

(0:00:00) - Sound, Surgery, and Changing LivesOur conversation begins with Mark's early memories of sound, an experience that may have been as memorable for his neighbors. “The first time sound really got into me,” he recalls, “was when I found the pots and pans underneath the counter and I found the wooden spoons. Oh and let me say, sound resonated not just from our home but right through the neighborhood.” We discuss how Operation Smile began back in 1982, and just how serious, and even life-threatening, the need for cleft-palate treatment options in the developing world has become. “It was then that both Dr. Magee and Kathy realized that there are so many people around the world,” he explains, “that don't have the benefit when they get sick and need surgery to actually be able to access it. It's just not there.”(0:11:24) - Surgical Program and Patient CriteriaWe talk more about what causes a cleft lip and the enormous impact it can have on children's speech, health, and nutrition. “Cleft lip and palate are some of the world's highest birth anomalies,” he tells us, “they can happen, we say one in every three minutes. A child is born with either a cleft lip, a cleft palate, or both, or one in every 700 to 1,000 live births.” He shares some of the challenges of treatment through multiple...

They delve into how love is often misconstrued in contemporary contexts, the responsibilities of Christians towards their immediate communities versus distant ones, and the moral obligations that arise from these relationships. The discussion also touches on the Good Samaritan parable, the evaluation of missionary intentions, and a study contrasting moral obligations across ideological lines. In this conversation, Chase Davis and Alex Kocman explore the intersection of secularism and Christian ideology, discussing the challenges and responsibilities of local and global missions. They emphasize the importance of cultural awareness, the role of local churches, and the generational perspectives on missions. The dialogue also addresses the difficulties of evangelism in familiar contexts and the significance of maintaining a balance between loving one's local community and engaging in global missions. Ultimately, they highlight the need for a thoughtful approach to missions that respects the order of loves and the cultural context in which one serves.Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
