God's Plan Has Worked!

Many years ago the board of LifeWay Ministries Inc sought God about how to design our ministry. We heard Him speak and have followed ever since. The gist of what we hard can be summarized this way.

"Work with partner in the nations where I send you. Freely you have received and freely you shall give. Train them; equip them; love them; support them and set them free to follow me."

God knows what He is doing. I receive emails, letters and telephone calls from people all around the world who tell me that they are "Growing to go into the world and preach the gospel and then Going to grow in the faith, hope and love of God."

One of our students resigned from her very lucrative job to get a Master's Degree in psychology and has written special materials for people in Nepal. Using Listening for Heaven's Sake Kirsten helped the Nepalese develop an entire vocabulary about Christian relationships.

Our model has been to set up seed corn farms that intentionally planted and nurtured seed corn that would then be planted by other farmers instead of being eaten. Seed corn is strong, hearty and resistant to disease, pestilence and droughts. We equip leaders with the same characteristics so they can withstand the attacks of the evil one and still move out to bring hope and healing to those in need.

With seed corn churches and para church groups all around the earth we know that the gospel will go forth long after our demise.
