Local Soil is the ministry of God, through Geoff and Belen Peters — a shared calling rooted in a simple and powerful belief:
Sustainable community impact happens through local believers.
However, many Christians feel unsure of their purpose, and many local ministries struggle to grow despite real impact. Both need clarity, tools, and support to thrive in the place God has planted them. For over 25 years, God has used Geoff and Belen to inspire and equip Christians for mission impact across 55+ countries.
Local Soil exists to:
Awaken and Equip believers for their God-given purpose
Strengthen ministries doing His work in their local communities.
This is our heart. And we invite you to join us in helping good work take root and flourish where God has planted it, through Local Soil.
