New Event: Plant in January

Plant something this January. Care for God’s creation. Share what grows. One plant is always better than none. #PLANTinJanuary

Let’s start the year 2026 with our first event: Plant in January!

Every year we hear more news about pollution and and global warming. We know more trees are needed to be planted, but instead we get more deforestation.

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” – Genesis 2:15

It is our responsibility to take care of God’s creation – our planet earth. So we have decided to create an event where our focus will be to:

  1. Plant trees and promote greenery allowing us to heal our planet and stop the rapid snowball towards global warming.
  2. Grow fruits so that it can be shared with the hungry.
  3. Strengthen our community through united mission and vision for the world.
