Seeing the Student 'Garden' Grow

From a worker in East Asia

Workers Begin to Reap Harvest of New Believers
Just as it is rewarding to see flowers bloom in the spring after much tilling, sowing of seeds, watering, and waiting, so it is to see individuals burst into new life with the resurrected Christ!

What a blessing to hear six young people say "yes" to Jesus after an Easter event where they heard of the Christ who is alive. Even more joyful was hearing one of them tell of leading 10 dorm mates and seven family members to salvation just one week later. We are still hearing reports from the six of how many they have already shared with, and how many have said yes! Two more young people, who attended the same Easter event said "yes" just a week later.

After so much gardening here in our city of almost 1,000,000, we are rejoicing at seeing our garden grow. We are thankful for the many seeds we were able to sow through our Easter events, and will keep sowing, watering, tending, waiting for His perfect timing, greatly encouraged by the recent harvest!
