Sow Everywhere!
I have the honor of leading a ministry that is both focused and diverse. Our mission involves construction, but the locations we serve are all over the world, and a wide variety of skills are necessary to complete each project. In my five years of service with Builders International, I have been on more than 20 trips, working in 15 countries.
We were honored to have Pastor Jeff Peterson, Senior Pastor at Central Assembly of God in Springfield, Missouri, share in our staff chapel last December. In this pivotal time of laying out our plans for 2014, Pastor Jeff shared with us an encouraging word from Ecclesiastes 11:1-6, “Sow Everywhere.”
Three points Pastor Jeff encouraged us to remember as we do the work in which we are called:
1. Believe in the Seed:
Regardless of the conditions, the weather, the political scene; sow your seed! Solomon said it this way, “Whoever watches the wind will not plant.”
2. Trust the Mystery:
Just as we do not know how a baby is formed in a mother’s womb, we cannot understand the work of God.
3. Leave the results to God:
Our job is to sow, the harvest is in God’s hands.
