Fertile Soil
The story grew from darkness and light, from temptations and blood and sin, from gardens and angels with flaming swords. The story grew from prophets, warriors, songwriters and servants, both in prisons and in palaces. It is a story both intensely personal, yet eternal as the stars—a story of floods and desert wanderings; of a gifted boy betrayed by his brothers; and a courageous girl who becomes a queen. It is a story of a prodigal son and a father with open arms; a story of a crucified King risen from the grave; and a doubting man whose hands touched the wounds and declared, “My Lord and my God.” It is a story that speaks in the hidden places of the heart to all nations and to people everywhere.
The task is immense, and the need is urgent. Today, fully 2 billion people are still in need of God's Word, and even with past successes,
the gulf may still be widening. To effectively close the gap and to accelerate the distribution of God's story to those still unreached, a new perspective is required.
The Word was planted, and His story continues to grow.
