I believe this tree was created by God before the foundation of the earth for times such as these. To help the poor have enough to eat.

Please be patient and read the info below, and please pass the info on to your Christian friends in the tropics, and near the equator, about the amazing Moringa Tree. Send them some seeds to plant. This will make there lives richer and healthier.
Look below at picture for the amazing ounce per ounce nutritional fact comparison. This plant also contains the 9 essential amino acids for life. Many African children and babies are benefiting from this tree, giving them more nutrition.

The tree grows 15 feet in a year making it one of Christ's Creation most productive food sources per acre. On one acre of property you can produce 40 tons of wet plant material moringa, with fertilizer proper soil, and the right irrigation you can produce 250 tons of wet plant material moringa, This makes it one of the most productive animal fodder crops on the earth, and also one of the most productive people food crops on the earth. It really is an amazing tree God has made.

I did some ruff estimates but I've considered the calories produced by the moringa on one acre is enough to feed many people a year. More that grain crops, and as far as I know more than any other crop. I've estimated that this crop could sustain 40 people - 200 people per year, per acre. This is unheard of. (Check the math for yourself).

I'm calculating 1680 calories per dry pound of moringa (this would be the dried leaf, shoots, flower, fruit, & seed). A 40 ton crop will = 10 tons of dryed edible plant. That is 20,000 pounds of food. 20,000 lbs of food x 1680 calories per dried pound. Take the total and devide it by daily needs x days in a year.

I've looked on the internet and large quantiites or even small quantitites of seed can be purchased from India and China, and even USA , for not much money. You can purchase 1000 seeds for 30$, and the larger the order the cheaper it cost per seed.

Once grown the plant can produce man seed pods by the end of the first growing year. If you live in the tropics you could plant this tree, and then collect the seeds for missionaries and churches all around Christ's beautiful Creation. I live just south of Tampa, FL and the tree will work well here. This is about the furthest North they should be planted.

I've recently discovered a tree called the Moringa Tree. I know about a ministry in Africa that just planted a farm of Moringa. Many are calling it a miracle tree. The Moringa tree has edible leaves, seeds, flowers, and root. The tree will grow in soil that others trees cannot. It also has a deep tap root so it can find water while other trees in a drought will not survive.
It is an easier crop to take care of. Other crops must be replanted. This crop can be harvested year round, because the leaves, flowers, and fruit(seed pods), are all edible. It is a tree and lives for many years.

Now consider the above calculations. This acre of moringa can sustain 40 people. Meaning it could easily support 40+ goats. This would make a lot of goat meat, milk, cheese, soap, and many other products. They could be raising rabbits, goat, sheep, livestock with the excess moringa, or souly if they would like more meat in their diets.

This tree can produce fodder for farm animals to eat. This is an advertiser below from internet for Moringa Pelets for Cows.
Moringa Granules for Cattle - Cows. Our Genius Moringa Granules are best feed for Animal feed Moringa had been successful proven for increased their milk production 43-65%, It increased cattle’s daily weight gain up to 32% (probably meaning that the moringa leaves are easier to digest increasing the cows weight), It improves the Immunity level of Animals very much, The weight and Stamina of Animal will be improved successfully, The Hemoglobin level of Animals is enourmously increased.

The Moringa Tree also seems to grow well in salty soil. In salty soil the Moringa will produce less vitamins and protien overall by about 50%, but it will produce more antioxidants. Antioxidants are very healthy for the body.

This tree grows well in the hottest places of the earth, tropics, sub-tropics. So it could be very helpful to people in third-world countries. There is a lot of information on the Moringa on the internet.

The tree could help give life to a field with to much sun. Giving covering for the other plants. Since they have had no success growing other trees. The Moring tree may be the tree the need to create shade for other plants.

Just wanted to share it with this forum, so that you believing brothers may pass information about this amazing edible tree to missionaries, and perhaps churches in poorer regions that are having food shortages. And places where people have health problems because of poor vitamin intake.

Bless you - Spread the good word about this plant God has made called the Moringa. Tell your pastors, Tell the missionaries, tell all Christians that go out to the third - world. Share it with the Chruch first, unbelievers second. That is scriptural.
Nutritional value of moringa comparison (it also contains the 9 essential amino acids for life)

Below is a fiction story about the possibilities of the Church and the Moringa Tree:

Now imagine this for a minute, some of you will have a tuff time because your creative mind is dead (But Christ can give it life if you'll ask him).

There was a small church in the town near Goergia called the City of Giving, and this church was wanting to help the poor in a distant place, they wanted to win some of these poors ones to Christ. They came across an idea to help the poor. The idea was to by a cheap peace of land, a few acres big and take thousands of Moringa seed down to plant. They were going to use the food they made with the crop to give to all the village where the Moringa was planted. Spreading Good will for Christ's Names sake.

The pastor of the church did the math and called his minister friends in Haiti to work out the details. He counted the cost and it seemed highly possibly that his church could fund a small Moringa Tree farm. He found that it could easily be planted and even harvest by the local Haitian church. Those in the church would get some while those in the surrounding areas would also receive some of the dried Moringa supplement for their children to take as a vitamin supplement.

After a few years of the two churches working together. They were getting great repore from the villagers. The ministers in the area discovered it was an excellent way to soften the villagers hearts to receive the message of Christ. Many people that would not speak to them are now seeing the church helping there lives and their children's lives, and are now willing to sit and listen to the beautiful story of Christ's Gospel.

It was such a success that the purchased more land to produce larger Moringa Trees for producing seeds. So they could begin to send them to all the other churches around Haiti, Africa, South America.

And Christ Smiled from Heaven, his people finally began to help the poor, and to help the widow, and spread the gospel to all countries in the world.

Bless you,

I heard about Moringa about two years ago, and I have a pack of Moringa tea which I've only taken once. Well, after a reminder of its benefits from your post, I made myself some moringa tea :).

this is very valuable information and God will surely bless you for passing it on. i can see other benefits of a project like this not mentioned here such as reclaiming the land, increasing the oxygen supply to the atmosphere and giving some of the water necessary for survival through diet. i hope your suggestion goes viral. God bless

People have been trying to get a connection with the Tree of Life for thousands of years.

Apotheosis of Rameses II of Egypt. He is seated on his throne while three gods (Amen-Ra-Tum, Safekh,and Tahut) inscribe his name on the fruits of the Tree of Life. - Source: Elwell, W. A., & Beitzel, B. J. (1988). In Baker encyclopedia of the Bible(p. 2105). Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House via Logos Bible Software

Future access to the Tree of Life is prophesied in the last chapter of the Bible (Revelation 22):

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

At the beginning of the Bible, there was a garden. At the end of the Bible, there is a city.
