Then through the rhyming words of \u201cPlead, Seed &amp; Need,\u201d we can all remember to daily cry out to our Father in prayer, share our faith with those around us, and give sacrificially to the cause of spreading Jesus around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all of us on the service team, the few days together were so refreshing as we lifted our eyes once again to focus on God\u2019s heart &#8211; the salvation of all nations. Beyond just our local spot on the map, there is something larger at work here and we can all be a part of it, for the glory of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From December
