There are two quotes that I have always liked that speak of preparing shade. One is, “A society grows great when old men plant trees who’s shade they know they shall never sit in.” and the other is, “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago! The second best time is now! The idea is that, if we want to impact the future, we must start now. This has never been more true than in the ministry. With the investments and sacrifices that we make now, we might not see the results for many years, but when that time comes, it will all have been worth it. This is also true when it comes to starting churches in areas where there aren’t any, or where there isn’t any shade or relief from the burden of sin in this world. The area where we are purchasing land for our church is an area where there isn’t any shade and the people are suffering from the heat and burdens in their lives. So when you invest in helping this church be established in this area, you are in a sense planting a spiritual shade tree that will bring hope and salvation to many that need it for many years to come. Since our last post we have had two more offerings come in for $1000 and $500. That brings the amount that we have left to pay to $5200 and right at one week to get it payed off. Please pray for this need now that we are only a few days from needing to reach our goal. If you would like to help us, and prepare shade for many people, please write us and let us know (ktwbmw73@gmail.com) and send to;
