God is doing some incredible things throughout the Church of God. God is doing some incredible things through Church of God Ministries, essentially the ministry arm of the General Assembly of the Church of God. It is important that we share what is going on across North America and the world so that the public may see that God is real, and that His work through Church of God Ministries is important. The past couple of days I have been searching web sites of state and regional offices of the Church of God, looking for unique and/or compelling stories of God's work. Many of these stories that I find will be either turned into an article and released onto chog.org or CHOGnews. Other stories that already appear in article format may be published once again, but this time for more saints to read.

I came across this short article about a unique and very visible ministry one local Church of God is doing in Oklahoma:

Heartland Community Church with the guidance of Travis Hanks from the OSU [Oklahoma State University] extension planned and planted a community garden. Thirteen families signed up to plan and work the garden and share the harvest. It is an exciting ministry within our church family as we work together. We became visible to the community of Seminole as we transformed the empty half-acre lot that lies in the middle of town. The response to what we are doing has been amazing! It is the first project of this kind in Seminole County and we would like to see more of these gardens spring up in the future, involving other church communities and the community at large.

I found the picture above on the page on Facebook about the garden. This picture shows the Sunday School class and the shed they painted for the garden.
