From the Grave
to the Garden
Cultivating Kingdom Growth this Easter
This Easter, help transform churches worldwide –
from stagnant survival to flourishing fruitfulness.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
2 Corinthians 5:17
A Clear Mission with Lasting Impact
This Easter, as we look to the Resurrection, we see people transformed from the despair of the tomb into the hope of a new creation. The Garden Project helps leaders move their communities to create something new, going from “Survival Mode” to “Fruitful Growth.” As we look to the Global Church, we recognize that while the local soil changes, the need for cultivating competent Christ-centered leaders is universal.
This Easter, we invite you to be part of this transformation. By supporting Freedom to Lead, you are not just funding a program; you are clearing the stones that have kept global communities in survival mode for far too long. Your generosity provides the training, the tools, and the mentorship needed for local leaders to step into their roles as “Gardeners” of a healthy, multiplying church.
See how your gift can impact the leadership of local communities:
"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.”
- 1 Cor. 3:6-7

- The Global Concept: In many parts of the world, pastors and ministry leaders act as “Gatekeepers” who hold all the power. The Garden Project teaches them to be “Gardeners” who cultivate and plant seeds of leadership in others.
- The Resurrection Connection: Just as a seed must fall into the ground to produce a harvest, a leader must lay down their pride to empower their congregation.
- The Impact: Your $50 gift provides the foundational training for one pastor to stop performing and forcing growth in ministry and start cultivating the environment so that their people can flourish. This results in a church that fully rests in the fact that it is only God who gives the growth.
Invest $250 to equip a 'Garden Model Facilitator' with the tools needed to transform a cohort of leaders who are moving their struggling congregations into thriving and self-sustaining ministries.

- The Global Concept: A “Garden Model Facilitator” doesn’t just lecture from behind a pulpit; they create an environment where adults can grow. This requires the direct development of Master Facilitator of The Garden Project who will be provided with specialized tools: story-based resources, adult learning methodology, intentional mentoring, and a shared leadership experience.
- The Resurrection Connection: When the stone was rolled away, it wasn’t just an event; it was the unveiling of a new way to live and lead. The Tool Kit provides the “blueprints” for this new way of facilitating a leadership development experience.
- The Impact: Your $250 investment provides a Master Facilitator with a complete set of Garden Project facilitation tools. These tools allow them to mentor dozens of other leaders, clearing away the stones that keep them from becoming all that God would have them be.
Monthly Gift
A monthly gift of $100 sustains a year-round 'Learning Environment,' ensuring that the resurrection power of Christ is modeled through daily stewardship and growth.

- The Global Concept: Growth isn’t a one-time event; it’s a season-by-season commitment. Challenging experiences in a supportive environment reshape how leaders think and act. These crucible moments enable leaders to lead from a place of true influence that comes from a power much greater than themselves.
- The Resurrection Connection: The “Garden Legacy” represents the ongoing presence of the Risen Christ among His people—the daily “watering” of the Word and the “pruning” of the Spirit.
- The Impact: Monthly support ensures that the various team members can provide ongoing coaching and mentoring. This prevents the “garden” from being reclaimed by the “thorns” of cultural pressure or economic crisis, securing a legacy of healthy leadership for generations to come.
