Reflecting on 2024 and Preparing for 2025: A Year of Love in Action

As 2024 comes to a close, we find ourselves reflecting with deep gratitude on how God has worked through Seed to Oaks to equip Christians and churches for meaningful community transformation. This past year, we’ve seen churches reimagine their role as community leaders, families rediscover their purpose in loving their neighbors, and entire neighborhoods begin to flourish through the power of collaboration and intentional service. We also look to 2025 with hope and anticipation, eager to see how God will continue to move. It’s the perfect time to renew our commitment to Jesus’ command: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9).

In 2024, we partnered with several churches to provide Neighborhood 360˚ Assessments, tools designed to help leaders better understand the needs, hopes, and dynamics of their communities.

One pastor shared, “Our church had a heart for outreach, but we weren’t sure where to start. We had a lot of ideas but not much clarity about what our community actually needed. The Neighborhood 360˚ Assessment was a game-changer. It opened our eyes to neighbors we had overlooked and helped us connect with local families in meaningful ways. By the end of the process, we didn’t just have a plan—we had relationships. And now, we’re seeing God work in ways we never imagined.”

This is just one of many testimonies that remind us of the importance of seeking understanding before taking action.

Next year, we’re thrilled to launch new initiatives, including testing a digital application designed to simplify the process of connecting with neighbors. This application will build on the principles behind our Neighborhood 360˚ Assessment, equipping churches and individuals with insights into their local communities and helping them respond with compassion and purpose.

By leveraging technology, we hope to make it easier for Christians to take practical steps in living out their faith, whether through outreach programs, small group ministries, or personal acts of kindness. Together, we can continue to bridge the gap between knowing and doing—between good intentions and lasting impact.

The start of a new year is an invitation to renew our dedication to loving others as Christ loves us. At Seed to Oaks, we believe that every Christian has a part to play in community transformation, and every church can be a beacon of hope.

Join us in making 2025 a year of love in action. Partner with us today. Together, we can make a difference that echoes into eternity.

Let’s move forward in faith, trusting that as we sow seeds of love and service, God will bring forth a harvest in His perfect timing.
