Hey Loveland-Johnstown friends! We hope God has blessed you through The Well this past year!
A church “plant” takes times to grow, like a bamboo tree. The bamboo plant is watered for five years all the while developing deeper and deeper roots. Then at the right moment five years later, it grows 80 feet in 6 weeks! It then is able to be a great blessing to many people through shade, food, and material for people to build houses and furniture. As The Well grows we expect to be able to be a blessing to many more people!
