GEPIU Farm & Horticultural Project - Update Working with animals is always hard as they don’t know a week-end to a week-day and never have a day off. Equally, plants don’t drink twice as much on Saturday in order to have Sunday off! They need watering every day and when it’s been as hot as it has been in Romania this Summer, watering means 3-4 hours every day!! Linda, Danute and Olivia have learnt this the hard way this past month, as the demands of caring for live stock and plants has placed a heavy burden on them all. But wonderful progress is being seen. The pigs continue to grow.

Soon we hope significant supply of pork for the Children’s Centres and Mission Centre will be coming from Gepiu rather than the market! In May, we started the Chicken project. For meat at first and subsequently ‘Egg Production’. The Chickens are growing fast and soon the freezer will be stocking up with wonderful chicken meat from Gepiu.

The Poly-tunnels invested in back in April have proved fantastic. The fruit and vegetables we are already harvesting are wonderful. Linda says she prays and sings over the plants daily, which truly goes to prove the ‘Power’ of Prayer and Praise!
Today (June 30th) our Horticultural advisor – Paul Jeanes – arrived in Romania and hopes to work on the final steps of installing our Irrigation system which will help with the huge task of watering. The Tank is in place, the pipes are laid and irrigation is into the poly-tunnels – so Paul just has to put it all together and make it work!  We’re praying for you Paul!!
