At some point, the question shifted.
Not “Can this work?” But “Where else is this needed?”
So letters were written. Real letters, the personal Ink on paper type, not the mass-produced mailers of today. Letters were addressed to Ministers of Agriculture across developing nations, and even to the United Nations itself.
There was no guarantee of response, and no established credibility. Just a conviction that what had been seen in one valley might serve many more.
Some replies came back, alas, many did not. But something important had already happened. The early vision of what would be CVM had crossed borders.
Faith often moves before permission is granted. It speaks before it is recognized. Scripture tells us, “Enlarge the place of your tent…” — Isaiah 54:2
> Where is God calling you? What border is He asking you to think beyond?
