Het planten van kerken

A solitary church planter walks through long cultivated rows, scattering small chapel buildings like seed from a heavy shoulder sack. Across the rolling fields, the seeds have taken root as countless little churches, each standing in its own furrow beneath a wide sky and low clouds. The composition turns the work of ministry into a farming parable: the gospel is sown patiently, communities are planted faithfully, and growth belongs to God.

The imagery connects church planting with Jesus’ parable of the sower and Paul’s teaching that one servant plants, another waters, but God gives the increase. It is well suited for missions, evangelism, discipleship, stewardship, outreach, sermon series, and ministry vision materials centered on multiplying congregations and spreading the kingdom of God.
