ECHO Agricultural Conferences 2009 and 2010

     "ECHO's Annual ECHO Agricultural Conference is an event that brings together some of the world’s most influential voices dedicated to eradicating hunger and improving lives. Speakers share practical solutions to agricultural challenges, personal experiences and strategies for improving the lives of millions who everyday face the threat of starvation. The event offers an open exchange of information, connecting the people and ideas that can make a real and sustainable difference." -www.echonet.org
     The conference in my own words is a motley conglomeration of people passionate about Agriculture, meeting the agricultural needs of the world's hungry people, and about our Lord, Jesus Christ.  The like-mindedness of the attendees that makes it so unique;  from Cornell University professors to subsistance farmers from Haiti and Kenya, from college students to NGO development workers, this is truly a global conference.
     It was such an honor to be asked by EDGE OUTREACH to represent them at the conference.  With only a few kinks in the first presentation, the event went well.  I had a display table set up in a side room while the morning sessions occurred at the hotel conference center.  Then tightly packed we moved to the 50 acre ECHO farm where I unpacked and gave two one-hour demonstrations of the purifier that EDGE OUTREACH uses.
     I never cease to be amazed by the versatility of the purifier.  Providing 10,000 gallons of pure water every day with only the simple inputs of one handful of salt, a 12 volt battery, and the locally available water, this is truly a live-giving instrument.
