Faith like Potatoes is the personal story of the faith of Angus Buchan. He is a man who trusts completely in God. During a meeting when the El Nino drought was about to hit South Africa, meaning that the growing of crops on all land would be badly affected, Buchan addressed the crowd and told them that this year he would be growing potatoes – everyone thought he was crazy. But God told him to plant the potatoes and Angus believed totally in God’s promises. And sure enough despite the drought, those potatoes did grow as did Angus’ faith as God provided rain when needed.
This is a story of obedience to God’s calling and an account of unwavering faith and passion for God’s work through one of His most faithful followers.
It may seem that Buchan’s life is an easy life, however like everyone else Angus had his struggles and doubts, especially in coming to faith, and also after becoming a Christian. There are tales of sadness and tales of joy as Angus takes us through his life and the building of his farm and Shalom Ministries which has become home to a community of families and believers who live and work as a team. We are introduced to some of the workers and some of the children of the orphanage and see how they have been inspired by the faith of Angus, his wife Jill and their family.
