We were celebrating God&#8217;s provision of the funds to purchase the international office building.\u00a0Together with friends and supporters, we gathered in the other part of the building that was currently being used by another business.\u00a0We are deeply thankful for what the Lord has provided and are so grateful to all who have prayed, donated and shared the project with others.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The afternoon of thanksgiving included a journey through the history of the ministry. We were profoundly humbled how in the last 20 years, the Lord has faithfully directed and sustained the work of GoodSeed.<\/p>\n<p>We also shared two songs from the gospel musical <em>No Ordinary Story<\/em>. Allan Ellingsgaard, our songwriter, sang with the recently recorded music tracks. Then we had a good time of fellowship over snacks after the service.<\/p>\n<p>It is exciting to think of putting the building to good use. Already, we have a team working out the plans on building out the new section and outfitting it for the work ahead. With the new space, we look forward to creating more tools and providing more training to equip the body of Christ to share the gospel.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4180
