About Us
Agriculture Training and Christian Discipleship
Fields of Hope seeksĀ to educate and empower young Ghanaian men through Bible teaching and small-scale agriculture. We operate a 78-acre working farm and training school in the Central Region of Ghana.
By cultivating a love for God and His Word, young people will realize God’s love for them and His plan for their lives. We will help them channel the life skills they learn in the area of agriculture to help build up their communities and provide from themselves and their families.
Ghana is a land with great potential, but continues to be plagued with poverty. We believe the best way to change this cycle is to lead by example.
