Pray and help buy a $3,000 Rice Thrashing Machine For CHAP Project In Liberia Supporting 13,500 Farmers!
Bishop Robert S.M. Bimba: A Life Dedicated to Spiritual Growth and Community Empowerment
Pray and help purchase a Thrasher machine for rice harvest with CHAP in Liberia under Bishop Robert Bimba, long-term CMM member and graduate of CMM College of Theology. Right now, the teams working with Robert and the high quality rice harvest must spend countless hours working with their feet and hands to ‘thrash’ the rice to separate the grain from the chaff. A ‘thrasher’ machine is needed which costs $3,000. USD. This will reduce the pain, and strain of hard manual labor, and increase productivity, and feed more people, and help end systemic poverty.
The photos below show the workers using their hands and feet to separate the grain from the stalks. It takes hours and hours to do manually. The needed ‘thrasher’ machine will be such a great blessing to them and their families.
Watch this short video of Robert Bimba explaining the process being done by hand:

Recognizing the critical link between food security and economic stability, Bishop Bimba founded the Community of Hope Agriculture Project (CHAP). This initiative aims to combat poverty by promoting sustainable agricultural practices, particularly in rice production. CHAP has introduced the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) to Liberia, a methodology that increases rice yields while reducing input costs. The project has garnered national attention for producing high-quality rice seeds, contributing significantly to reducing Liberia’s reliance on imported seeds.
In a notable achievement, CHAP was recognized by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for its outstanding contribution to local rice production. The organization was commended for producing the best quality rice seed and was instrumental in halting the importation of rice seeds after two decades of dependency. This acknowledgment underscores CHAP’s pivotal role in enhancing Liberia’s agricultural self-sufficiency.

By collaborating with over 1,200 farmers, CHAP provides training in modern agricultural techniques, access to quality seeds, and support in marketing their produce. This holistic approach ensures that farmers not only increase their yields but also improve their livelihoods.
In a recent appeal, Bishop Bimba urged Liberians to prioritize the purchase and consumption of locally produced rice. He emphasized that supporting local farmers is essential for sustainable food security and economic growth. By choosing Liberian rice, consumers contribute to a cycle of prosperity that benefits the entire nation.
Environmental Advocacy and Policy Engagement
Beyond his direct involvement in agriculture, Bishop Bimba is an active advocate for environmental conservation. He has called upon the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enforce regulations protecting wetlands, which are vital for agricultural productivity and ecological balance. By safeguarding these areas, Liberia can ensure long-term food security and environmental sustainability.
