In James 1:18, it says that “[God] chose to give us birth by his true word, and here is the result: we are like the first crop from the harvest of everything he created.” YOU are God’s first fruits of his work. You are the first crop of God’s great harvest, and the first crop of any plant often provides the seeds for future harvests.

Rice is the first crop plant whose complete genetic sequence (genome) has been compiled and placed in computer data banks around the world, because it has the potential to end world hunger. Rice is most economically sown (requiring less seed) when first raised in seedbeds, then transplanted out into the field for mass harvest.

God has raised you up and planted you in this world to sow his harvest of love and joy. Through the power of Jesus, you are working to end world suffering by bringing people into God’s healing arms. Together with ServLife you have rescued orphaned children off the street, helped bring the hope of Jesus to remote villages that had never heard his name and empowered families with small business loans, putting food on their table and sending their kids to school. You continue sowing hope and love, reaping a beautiful harvest in the name of Jesus. Thank you.

Every good gift, every perfect gift, comes from above. These gifts come down from the Father, the creator of the heavenly lights. May God bless us to be a blessing to others and spread the seeds of hope and love.
