your plan for cultivating the seeds you plant:

• Pray over the field you will enter (even if it is only two blocks from

(pending release from
HMA) • Decide what types of seeds you will plant (attracting little ones,
feeding the hungry, educating the poor, etc).
• Pray to discern how God wants you to cultivate and water those
seeds until they bear much fruit for the kingdom.
“What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants,
through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each
his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been
making it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is
anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
–I Corinthians 3:5-7(NIV)

Watch Us Grow
The past two years of support-

but He has done so much to
refine and prepare us for

learning to trust Him more. And
we are practicing gratitude
regularly.
