Welcome to the Gardens of Life

VISION:
If you build it, they will come.

Explanation of the Vision:
IF- This vision is a conditional statement because faith is conditional. If we build it with God on our side and for His purposes, then we cannot fail. For with God nothing is impossible.
YOU- You refers to all who enter this consecrated garden to work on it, bless it, create it, redeem it, harvest it. We expect that in the creation process of this garden there may be a fall, but we also expect that it will be redeemed by Christ. He is the author and finisher of our faith and we believe as we exercise faith in Him, He will buy it back with a price. Therefore, "You," also refers to the Lord. If He builds it, then they will come.
BUILD- Building this garden is the beautiful process of creation. God is a builder of worlds without number and souls without number. We will be building a beautiful garden and also beautiful souls that have faith in Jesus Christ and God, our Father.
IT- It refers to the garden, the souls who work it, and to our faith in God. If we have perfect faith, then THEY will come.
THEY- They refers to the fruits of our labors, to the souls who will need physical and spiritual nourishment, and ultimately to the joy of redemption. They refers to the giver and the receiver. We know THEY will be blessed as THEY come to our garden.
WILL- Will is a future tense. We must act in faith to produce the fruits necessary for redemption. It takes work to see the future harvest. We will act, knowing God will bless our labors. This is our faith.
COME- Come unto Christ all ye that labor and are heavy laden and He will give you rest. We know that the garden will give physical, spiritual and emotional rest to all who COME unto this garden, focused on Christ and the salvation He offers them.

MISSION:
To participate with God in bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
