What’s up with maize

I have heard that this is Mary’s blog since I never write here…Well today I thought I would dispel that rumor. One of the things that I am involved with that is a large part of what I do here is the Enterprise Maize Mill. The mill has now been functioning since 2008 and this year it began fulfilling it’s purpose. We have began funding $400 per month to the ministry general fund with expectations of that growing in the months to come. The past 2 weeks have really been busy there as the harvest has fully come in. This week we purchased about 16,000 KG.



One thing that is always interesting to see is the guys off load the truck as it arrives. To off load a shipment it usually takes 4 guys, 2 to offload the bags from the truck and then 2 to carry them into place. But this week we had a truck show up with only 3 guys and 4,000 KG, due to the shortage of workers 1 guy carried all 4,000 kg by him self. Can you imagine 225 kg at a time until 4,000 has been put away? Impressive. It is amazing how God has given some of these people the ability to work.





Right now we have over 55,000 kg in stock. That is enough maize to keep our business going for the next 4 months. The concept is buy when the maize prices are low and as the market prices increase farther from the harvest we see our profits increase.



Pray that we continue to make good business decisions as things are constantly changing and this business is key in funding the ministry into the future
