I have been a member of a Purpose Group for nine months, and I am currently the Chairman of my group. Before joining the group, my family struggled with low agricultural productivity.

Through my Purpose Group, I participated in a creation care training. I saw that the creation of God was greatly destroyed by humans, which led to soil, water, and air becoming polluted. I think churches should teach their members to turn to God and protect the creation for our next generation to have a good environment.

Nakon from Thailand is working to restore soil health and provide a better future for her family. "My mission is to make the soil more fertile," she says, inspired by Plant With Purpose training. Poor crop yields due to unpredictable weather have made it hard to support her family, but she's hopeful as she plants fruit trees and applies new soil conservation techniques. Her children are involved in the farm work, learning alongside her. Nakon’s work reflects a growing understanding of creation care and resilience.

Jonah, a church leader in Mae Na Wang, Thailand, has seen powerful changes through his work with Plant With Purpose. After struggling with health issues and community conflicts, Jonah turned to his faith for strength. "Forgiveness is the best solution and can bring peace," he says. By joining a Purpose Group, he learned soil conservation techniques and diversified his crops, improving his family's income and food security. His church now leads tree-planting efforts, uniting the community and restoring creation. "I now see unity in the church and the community," Jonah reflects.

Nala Jakor, a farmer in Thailand, found spiritual strength through tree planting after years of struggle and displacement. Born in Myanmar, she and her husband faced poverty and instability after moving to Thailand. After joining Plant With Purpose, Nala learned to grow and sell tree seedlings, which provided income and strengthened her faith. "Working with tree seedlings helps me build intimacy with God," she shares. Through prayer and guidance, she feels more connected to God and her community. Tree planting has become both a source of provision and spiritual renewal.
