Our Vision
VSI's chooses to "DO GOOD" for people.
Our inspiration comes from Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do good.
Make justice your aim.
Redressed the wrong.
Hear the orphan's plea.
Defend the widow.
(NAB)
Here's how VSI lives out Isaiah's challenge to "Do Good."
- Make justice your aim:
TEACHING the benefits of using TORAH in our daily lives. - Redressing the wrong:
CHOOSING to learn to live off the land. - Hear the orphan's plea:
KEEPING single moms alive. - Defend the widow:
IMPROVING a widow's situation.
Welcome to Vintage Skills International!
We envision a society where people are self/community sustainable, able to self generate and trade with one another for foundational needs like food, shelter, and clothing; not dependent on modern conveniences.
Our goal is to provide educational training locally, online, and abroad.
Training in the areas of:
- Organic Gardening
- Food Security
- Food Preservation
- Nutrition Education
- Ancient Skills like Pottery
- Fuel Efficiency
We essentially want to retract from modern systems and Return Mankind to the Garden.
AND.. we want to be a voice for the poor; as God leads us to each situation in His timing.
BIO:
Wendy Jackson grew up in rural Minnesota on a "Little House on the Prairie" style Homestead. She opened 3 restaurants from scratch, and completed studies in plant-based nutrition. She created a 10-week nutritional lifestyle course, which assisted people in recovering from cancer, MS, and diabetes. She purchased the business, Perfect Pickler, and began a lifetime study of gut health and fermentation. Then ThriveForGood invited Wendy to Kenya, Africa, to teach Fermentation at their organic gardening center. This continued until Wendy was hired as Content Creator to work with a team to create an online course for the extreme poor all across the globe. This curriculum included organic gardening, nutrition education, herbal medicine, leadership skills, and income generation. Currently 10,000+ people in developing countries are taking that course.
Today, Wendy, and her husband Dave, are establishing a similar training center in Liberia, Africa. Their goal is to equip all people with skills for self and community sustainability by teaching locally, online, and abroad. She also does public speaking events generating partners to join in the effort to equip all people for sustainability; especially the extreme poor.
Wendy has a love for all traditional skills, and a passion to teach all people a simple, self/community sufficient lifestyle.
