Growing up as a rice farmer's son, Ferd knows the hard work that goes into reaping a good harvest. Much like the work Ferd did in the rice fields, church planting requires the same process. First, the farmer must plant the seed. This is done delicately, with much care, one at a time, by hand. The same can be said of spiritually planting the seed of the Gospel. It takes a personal touch, cultivating relationships with people.
