Philippines: syntropic farming

4 June 2026

Mission partners Eric and Sandra Read are leading the way in syntropic (regenerative and sustainable) farming, using their farm in the Philippines to demonstrate syntropic farming methods and encouraging people of all ages to care for creation.

Pray for a meeting taking place next month where local farmers will gather to discuss syntropic farming methods – pray for people to be engaged and to see the value of these methods.

Pray for a few farmers to come forward to train and work with Eric and Sandra. Please also pray for a swift and full recovery for Sandra, who injured her knee in March and has not fully recovered yet.
