Current Mission
Do you want to starve out the madness and restore man's appetite for sanity?
⟨⟨Sunflowers in Babylon - Joshua Luke Smith⟩⟩
Do you want to come back to clarity and conviction?
Do you want to build a society on the foundations of wisdom instead of self-serving ambition?
Well then—plant a garden.
How it begins
Inspired by the legacy of George Müller's faith and William Wilberforce's advocacy, the initiative combines ministry, Christian social education, business creation, and policy engagement to restore lives and renew communities.
Applied Method
Aim to understand every aspect of homelessness—from the causes that lead people into homelessness, to their current mindset and behaviors, and how they may be categorized into different groups. While research can be conducted from a macro perspective, this is also a personal reminder: each individual is created in the image of God and is uniquely made.
Discipleship-first education that empowers individuals with both spiritual grounding and practical skills for employment and independent living. Quality matters far more than quantity—a surrendered heart is worth more than many that are double-minded. Social businesses are launched not just for income, but to restore dignity and community through meaningful, faith-filled work.
Addressing systemic gaps—especially in housing and healthcare—by building partnerships and advocating for policies that reflect justice and compassion. Rooted in truth and prayer, this effort seeks to ensure the most vulnerable are seen, heard, and supported.
