Focus: Development of New Land
1 Joshua 14:6-14 (paraphrased)
“Caleb said to Joshua, “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses about you and me. I was 40 years old when Moses sent me to spy out the land and I brought back the word that was in my heart. Even though others spoke words of fear concerning the land, I followed the Lord my God fully. Because I followed the Lord fully, Moses promised me and my children the land for an inheritance. And now I am 85 years old and am strong and healthy so give me the land promised”. So, Joshua blessed him and gave him the land and Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb because he served the Lord fully”.
Like Caleb, God has graciously provided additional land for GROW with the purchase of two parcels of land just outside our campus walls. We want to use this land to fully serve our Lord and Savior. God has called us to bring the hope of Jesus to the children at GROW and their families. We want to be wise with God’s provisions. Our immediate purpose was to farm it for the ever-increasing needs of our growing children. Corn was our first crop. As we look to the future, we have plans to continue to use a large portion of it for farming. Thinking of how we could better serve our children and their families, we want to develop the land further with infrastructure and a place where we can oversee family visitations and counseling in a safe location. We envision this land expanding our efforts to serve the GROW children, their families and the community. Whether that’s from a Family Visitation and Counseling Center to a future community center, to sharing our produce bounty, to a church located outside the walls of where the children live, it is GROW’s desire to reach as many as we can with the Gospel.
