Grateful

Grateful to you – the people who stand with us. We never imagine, for a day, that we are walking alone in this calling. It is a team, a community, a called-out group working together with us that allows the work of Appleseed to take place. What a blessing and joy to have you walk with us.

We are grateful…

• to the faithful African team-leaders whose hard work on the ground brings forth the fruit that we all celebrate! “I am going to run as hard as I can for at least the next 15 years,” 35-year-old Omondi said, “because I am young, and I want my life to count.” Imagine what will be accomplished as we cheer alongside this dynamic young leader (one of many) for at least another 15 years!
• for the prayers that brought immediate results during this trip:
  • NO unusual health or logistical challenges through all of the conferences that took place for ANY of the participants. This is unusual and a real blessing!
  • The right people at each training conference – fully engaged, ready to learn, and eager to go and implement. “Nobody left early to catch a bus home on the last day before the traffic started. They did not want to miss a thing.”
• for the fruitfulness that you and I are part of. When new ‘trainees’ come to training they are so surprised by the African team-leaders we work with who are baptizing hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of people within their church networks annually. This inspires the new trainees to adopt and implement similar methods. What a harvest celebration!
• to God – for calling each of us with a purpose that we get to walk out with Kingdom and eternal ramifications.
