Join us for a journey of gardening, faith, and culture. Work with a gardening ministry that is committed to healing land, spirit, and people. Learn about the Native American tribes of California and the Southwest, take part in a medicine and plant walk, and experience the beauty of a Native American pow wow. We will celebrate community, creation, and Creator together.
You will need a passport if the team is leaving the country. If a team is closed, or you are not sure which one suits you, write to us and we will talk it through.

A first-year church planting budget comes with plenty of unknowns. Start with what you know, estimate what you don’t, and build a financial plan you can refine as the church grows.
A clear budget helps you anticipate expenses, recognize potential challenges, and make better financial decisions before they become urgent. Tracking income and expenses throughout your first year also gives you real numbers to work from when planning the next.
If administration isn’t your strength, involve someone who is gifted in it. The church planter doesn’t have to build the budget alone, but every church plant should have one.
