Fruitfulness

One of the great things about getting old in ministry is the fact that the seeds we sowed many years ago has time to grow, blossom and develop its own fruit. Within the past few months two persons to whom we ministered intensely at the Teleios Center for Lay Ministry at College Hill Presbyterian Church have appeared in the news.

Joan Murren-Murrel came to CHPC almost thirty years ago after her pastor attended one of our LIFE Seminar. Here he learned about the ways we tried to help distressed believers. After a rather tumulterous and stormy time Joan found herself pregnant with no ability to care for the child. She made a very courageous decision and we found a family that wanted a child.

Our efforts DO matter even if it takes 30 years to see the fruit.
