The Gardens Gardening was a part of everyday
life for the Hmong in Laos and they are skilled
farmers.

• Purpose
• To provide an opportunity for the
• Hmong to share the fruits of
• their skills with us
• To be a blessing to the Hmong
• To provide a way for our church body
• and Hmong adults to connect
• To demonstrate Gods love
• Opportunity
• As you drive out the back road of church,
• please wave and say hello. Or even better
• stop and see their gardens. Before you know it,
• youll have a new friend and maybe
• even a chance to share the Gospel
• and your life.
