SOUL CARE MURAL Through our partner Ewien, Beer Sheba was able to collaborate with artist and missionary Rick Luth to create the mural for the new Soul Care office. Based on an illustration by Rick, Isabella Toombs produced the final painting shown here. Rick Luth For more information on Rick Luth's work https://www.artevermore.net/ Tel: 808-319-1553 Email: artevermore1@gmail.com A story of the project What made you decide to dedicate your time and talents to this project? “I was immediately drawn to the idea of a soul care room for spiritual healing, and I felt blessed and honored to be invited to be a part of such a project. The work I do with Create International is about contextualizing the gospel for other cultures, and this was an opportunity to do that. Even as a child, God had already planted a seed in my heart for the nations of Africa, and when I taught in Tanzania, I had hoped to create a mural with the children there. Additionally, as an art teacher for 30 years, the idea of collaborating with a talented young artist and having her paint was very inspiring to me.” What did it bring you? “Most of my artwork is based on messages or revelations that I feel I have received from God, which is very encouraging. So it’s no surprise that designing this mural brought me so much joy. I’ve always been happy working on this project: I got to know Senegalese culture better and draw the characters, plants and animals. In fact, halfway through the project, I met a man who played the kora, and he let me play his; it was very exciting!”

BEER SHEBA Founded in 2002, the Beer-Sheba project combines a sustainable agro-forestry program with holistic training and an agricultural resource center for young Senegalese farmers.

Breeding We raise a wide variety of livestock, large and small, in a natural way. With the so-called "Korean farming" system, beneficial microorganisms are cultivated in the soil where animals live in order to counteract harmful bacteria that can cause disease. Cows, goats, sheep, horses and poultry are raised in the open air, without antibiotics, and fed with partly fermented food produced on site.

Permaculture in the Sahel The Beer-Sheba project is a 100-hectare naturally regenerating forest located among the Serer farming villages and deforested pastures of the Thiès region. This ecosystem, which is now 15 years old, continues to mature, enabling us to observe and study animals, birds and insects that have practically disappeared from the region. ​ It is within this framework that the Beer-Sheba team is experimenting with various small-scale agricultural techniques, striving to develop agricultural systems that are both productive and adapted to the local climate. Permaculture is based on understanding the context and its many parameters (social, climatic, topographic) in order to design clever cultivating spaces, with beneficial connections and an approach to restoring the ecosystem and the people who inhabit it. ​ ​ Back to Our Actions Ancre 1 Farming God's Way Before the development of any form of human agriculture, God cultivated the Earth, and it gave its products in abundance. Developed in Africa in response to the food insecurity and poverty of many populations, Farming God's Way is an approach that is inspired by the principles and interrelations present in Creation. Beer Sheba applies many principles and seeks to become a demonstrative project for the surrounding communities.

Train yourself! We offer training courses in permaculture for the Sahelian climate. Back to Our Actions Permaculture internships Are you concerned and interested in climatic issues and the importance of natural and locally grown food? Do you want to know more about permaculture adapted to the Sahelian context? Beer Sheba trains young farmers and entrepreneurs but also individuals wishing to practice produce growing and animal husbandry in a different way. Our foundation: learning to respect Creation and understanding its natural cycles and balances. ​ ​ Where and how? You can come for internships for a few days to several months depending on your objectives and our availability. You will be supervised by the managers of the Permaculture Garden, Livestock and Nursery. ​ The daily rate is 5000 fcfa, lunch included. ​ If you wish to stay on site, several rooms are available for rent, with full board (meal around the bowl with the community). ​ Contact us for more information.
