Grow a Garden, Give to Your Community


Those with greener thumbs than mine tell me it's time to start thinking about this summer's garden.Wouldn't it be a great idea if our communities of faith could take the land and resources God has given us and us them to grow something for the people of our community?


In a nation suffering from an epidemic of poor health, it has been shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables improves our health, yet many people cannot afford to buy them. Spending time out in nature has been proven to help us both mentally and physically. And being unified in a common effort to glorify God never hurts either. :o)


I'm challenging you to challenge your churches, Bible study groups, etc.... to take a small plot of land, plant some seeds, and use the fruits (or vegetables) of your labor to help enrich the diet of those in your community who might not otherwise be able to afford them.So go, grow, and glorify God by giving back to your community!


PS: No pesticides or GM seeds please!
