(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Godolfredo learned that God gave him his abilities and talents to use for the improvement of the lives of others, and for his own blessing. He was empowered to come up with creative ideas.
"[He] realized he could be the solution to many of the problems in his community. These included the environmental strain they had been under as well as the constant challenge of poverty. He learned that his work as a farmer was extremely valuable- he could be a caretaker of creation."
He rejected the "futility myth," bravely tried new things, and worked to improve his community.
"Plant With Purpose helps farmers like Godolfredo discover their purpose and their role to play in God’s plan to redeem all creation."
In Godolfredo's own words, "People say that the poor are condemned to be poor, and that’s not the case.”
