​Welcome - We’re delighted you’re here!
"Finca" is a Spanish word for a country estate or farm. "Elohim" is a name used in the Bible to describe God as the Creator. So, Finca Elohim represents a farm that is run with Christian values, focusing on faith and respect for God's creation.
Vision
​A sustainable farm in southern Spain that inspires, empowers, and gives hope through organic farming, training, and recreation.
Disclaimer:
All offers, activities and programs described on this website refer to the full use of Finca Elohim, which will be achieved after an operating period of at least three years.
​
At present, the visions presented are future goals that are to be implemented gradually. They reflect the planned direction and potential of the finca, which will be built up and expanded step by step over the coming years.
We would like to emphasize that the project is still in the development phase and that the plot on which the finca will be built has not yet been found.
Nevertheless, it is very important for us to share the concrete vision of Finca Elohim today in order to reach out to interested parties, develop a strong network and build a committed circle of supporters who will join us in making Finca Elohim a life-changing place in the years to come.
Areas
Organic farm
The south of Spain is known for it`s challenging farm life. Dry barren soil, huge monocultures, and the excessive use of chemical additives have caused severe damage to nature over the years. This has led to the soil being close to becoming infertile in many areas.
​
Organic and resource-oriented, we help to bring creation back into balance by restoring the fertility of the soil and creating a healthy, diverse ecosystem through various sustainable cultivation methods.
As a training platform, we inspire and empower locals, schools, development workers and interested mission teams from all over the world. We offer the opportunity to experience how healthy food grows, starting from seeds and grown with tender care. They not only learn how to treat nature and animals with respect, but also how to process and market their own produce.
​
Our goal is not only to share knowledge, but to empower trained individuals to act as multipliers; fostering sustainable change in their communities and projects.
​
When working in nature, we not only experience its fascinating beauty and diversity, but also God's character more deeply. God’s boundless creativity, wisdom, care, patience and consistency are reflected in the ever-recurring provision of the earth with everything we need.
​​
Genesis 2:15
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
Place for recreation
Finca Elohim is a peaceful oasis - a true Garden of Eden where individuals, couples and families can enjoy a restorative, relaxing break.
Here they have the opportunity to work on inner processes, reflect on recently experienced situations or simply come to rest.
The beautiful natural surroundings invite you to meditate and reflect as you take advantage of your empathetic debriefing sessions. These conversations provide a safe space to reflect on experiences, to sort thoughts and emotions and to gain new perspectives.
For those who seek distraction through physical activity, we offer the opportunity to work with plants or animals, for example, to occupy your hands and thoughts and experience a deeper connection with nature and yourself - according to your own desires and needs.
Touched by the peaceful atmosphere and the wonderful creation, after this downtime you can return to your everyday life with renewed clarity and strength.
Psalm 23:2-3
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
Discipleship
We offer locals the opportunity to get to know Jesus or to deepen their relationship with God.
​
In one-on-one fellowships, we create a space to discover God more, step by step, and to experiance how the Bible serves as a foundation in our daily lives. It's not just about theory, it’s about integrating them into how we live.
How do I put the word of God into action in my daily challenges? How do I find orientation in the questions of life?
​
​Together we will discover the transformative power of faith and how this hope can be experienced in every moment of our lives.
​
Peter 3:18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Current situation
We, Luciano and Regina, are in Andalusia as a family and are deepening our existing contacts here. We are getting to know new people with similar projects, from whom we can learn a lot and gain valuable experiences for the Finca Elohim project.
​
Among other things, it is important for us to get to know potential key people for the project and to build up a network.
At the same time, we are investing heavily in the language, as this is necessary to communicate effectively.
​
We are also very excited about immersing ourselves in the culture step by step. Through experience, we realize this takes time and patience.

Project
-Planting hope-
Be part of the holistic transformation for people and nature
Finca Elohim has a clear vision: to create a place where people can experience mental, spiritual and physical renewal. We offer time-outs, debriefings and discipleship that provide space for reflection, personal development and profound transformation.
​
Another important component is sustainable, organic farming. We desire to train interested individuals, development workers and missionaries in environmentally friendly farming methods so that they can continue to act as multipliers in their projects, bringing transformation and change.
Does your heart also beat for making this wonderful oasis possible?
We invite you to make a valuable contribution that will have an impact far beyond this place. In order to realize this project, we currently need financial start-up capital to be able to acquire a suitable plot of land. As soon as we have found the right plot of land and the donation target has been set, we will share these numbers and publish an updated donation goal.
Together we can create a place of hope and renewal that will change the lives of many people. Your support is an essential contribution to this vision.
Your generosity is immeasurable - thank you so much for your support!
