Ministry to farmers: sowing and growing

Farming Christian Link

A Christian association is seeking to fill a reported gospel need in farming communities.

Tony Baskerville, Cheshire-based tenant farmer on the Rode Estate, Scholar Green, and elder at Grace Church, Sandbach, says that farmers are feeling increasingly marginalised. “There is a tremendous opportunity to reach out to them in genuine Christian love,” said Baskerville.

He added: “It’s ironic that we often say, when thinking about evangelism, that ‘the harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few’.”
