Founded in 1976, First Fruit is a Christian organization that works to support Christian organizations operating in the Global South. Whether the context of leadership is rural or urban, grassroots or multi-national, church-based or in the business, public or social sectors, we want to support these leaders by offering the most applicable resources available.
We aim to create highly relevant material targeting areas such as development of ministry skills, technical skills, organizational leadership, and spiritual and character growth. Be it through a degree program, a nonformal program, or informal mentorship, we look to deliver these resources in a way that will be most effective for each situation.
