Using the imagery of gardening, Heather Larson shares how correct preparation of the soil, proper care and feeding, trimming, battling destructive elements, and at times fully cutting back that which is not sustainable have become part of Willow's philosophy in working with local churches globally to serve the under-resourced in their areas. In ten years of commitment through Willow's Celebration of Hope, we see that well thought-out strategies, wise decision-making, and learning from missteps all factor into Willow, their partner churches, and the local global communities experiencing a fruitful harvest.
