We are a charity on a mission to ‘Feed the World”, both physically and spiritually.
To physically feed the world, we will buy wheat from grain farmers in the Mallee region of Victoria, Australia, and ship to the African famine areas of Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen, and Ethiopia, distributing to those in need through World Vision Australia. We use the logistics infrastructure of a small local contract packer, transporting in 40-foot shipping containers.
Our point of difference is the low operating cost by going direct to farmers and a local independent wheat contract packer, and low funds resourcing costs compared to most other charities.
We intend to spiritually feed the world by channeling 10% of donations into a chain of coffee/deserts lounges in Australia and Asia, starting in the Mallee region of Australia, where we subtly proselytize customers by having secular sayings of wisdom and Bible verses on the in-house napkins, place mats, advertising material, and on the packaging of take-out food. The chain will be known as ‘Smooth Talk’. We will tithe the profits from this chain to another charity, ‘Christianity Works’ who are actively spreading the Gospel via direct mailouts and through ‘Vision Christian Radio’, a network of low power transmission radio stations across Australia.We will also tithe profits from this chain to select local churches in the Mildura area of the Mallee, and to the Tony Renaudo FMNR program in Africa and the world. Including the Tony Renaudo model follows the principle, “If you give a man fish, you feed him for a day; if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime”. The residual profits from this chain will be fully invested to expand the ‘Smooth Talk’ chain in Australia, Asia, and SE Asia.
Hi, my name is Allan Gowers, the founder of Yahweh.net.au. I am a devout Christian of 35 years and a retired Railway Engineer living in Mildura, Victoria, Australia. Charlie Kirk, in his sermon ‘Winning the Invisible War’ said that “You do not do good things to get saved. You do righteous things because you are saved”. I am about to do a righteous thing. In 1984 at a wellness seminar, I claimed that my life’s mission was to ‘feed the world’. I claimed that I had no idea how I would do this, but with God’s help, I would find a way.I am not part of the Gowers Family farming business.
God has now placed the solution on my heart to seek donations from churches in the Western world and use the proceeds to directly purchase the 2025 and 2026 wheat harvests from one of my brothers, Peter, who is a grain farmer in the tiny town of Carwarp in the Mallee region of Victoria, Australia. ‘Wheat from Pete’, so to speak.
The Mallee is a semi-arid area of Australia and is only productive with modern high tech broad-acre farming methods and modern grain varieties. My initiative is to provide wheat from a dry area in Australia to drought and famine ravaged areas in Africa. It is the Father’s business, not mine. I am forever grateful.
The operation will expand in future years to include other Mallee farmers in the program. I want to help Mallee farmers who are doing it tough. The wheat will, therefore, be purchased at a 10% premium to the going market rate to keep Mallee farmers sustainable in what is a marginal wheat growing area, becoming more so with ever increasing production costs without any increase in the world prices of grain.
My grandfather was an ex-serviceman early pioneer wheat farmer at Yatpool, an even smaller town in the Mallee, neighboring Carwarp. He had to walk off his land in the 1930’s, after 20 years of hard work, with a 100-pound ($200 AUD) Government compensation package as part of a consolidation into 8-times larger farms to make the farms large enough to be viable for the low rainfall.
Today, I do not want to see well established grain farmers in the Mallee going broke, as is very likely in today’s environment that is getting ever dryer with climate change. This year, farmers grew reasonable crops on only 4 inches (100mm) of rain, that is a credit to their resourcefulness and capability.
