Plant a seed and watch it grow.
If I were to tell the truth, when I first went to Guatemala 18 year ago, I couldn’t believe for more than 25 people to come to church. My faith was low.
Within the second year, we were running 100.
Now, church attendance didn’t stay at 100. It went back down to 25. But it grew more than I expected. Today, I am back in the States, and the church is still growing. We have a school with 150 kids. The church is running up to 60 people. My stateside church just sent Pastor Steven Fernandez and Diane down to help out with the work. I visited to help them get established. I was astonished at what God will do.
Your labor in the Lord is not in vain — 1 Cor. 15:58 NIV.
I was the kinda guy who when he planted a seed, sat there waiting impatiently for the plant to pop out. And when it didn’t, I grumbled that food doesn’t come from agriculture after all. Hahahaha! How long did it take the for the giant sequoias to grow?
But sticking with it proved a meritorious method. And God brought the growth.
Every prayer you pray is like casting a seed. Sit back and patiently wait for it to grow.
Very nice.

Your title is quite funny! It could be interpreted as misleading, or an attempt to draw in readers out of curiosity. Keep up the good work.
Yes it is…….it’s actually the caption that was used in The Message Bible where the entire post was quoted from……I had some questions about it as well, but it was what they used so I used it.
I think it is good to try to draw in secular readers! Keep up the good work.
Thanks!!
keep shedding light!
