A faculty friend recently reminded me not to loose sight of God's resources when discipling students on campus.  Maybe I should find some volunteers to help me start a community garden and cooking/canning classes in 2011 ;-)  Lancaster County, PA, is definitely the place for this education!

But discipleship training would need to include teaching on supporting ourselves from God's resources where we live, so we wouldn't be dependent on stuff sent from China to Walmart.  The Mennonites and others do better at raising enough to store away or freeze for the coming year and developing recipes that are inexpensive yet with good nutritional value with grains, beans, etc.  The first step is to get off addiction to expensive fast foods and mcdonalds type stuff ... less expensive clothing from thrift stores ... and more walking (many students at my college drive five blocks to class).

PS.  Check-out the various cookbooks posted by the Mennonite Central Committee.
