The field team are the men above who have committed to planting multiple churches in SEED apartment complexes. From left to right: George (Cindy) Swain, Nathan (Jena) Wells, Mark (Candy) Ritzman, and Andy (Kim) Shank.
A recent blog post on the SEEDnet site announced a new initiative to reach the city of Cleveland with the gospel. SEEDnet works in spiritually, emotionally, economically, and developmentally oppressed areas in Ohio, primarily low income communities.
Meet the SEEDnet Field Team
A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps. (Prov.16:9)”
We were not actively looking to add to our field staff – but God was.
We were planning on reaching beyond our present apartment complexes, in faith, with the people we already had – but God had different plans.
God brought George and Cindy from the Czech Republic after 22 years of amazing evangelism and church planting to join SEEDnet and tackle the east side of Cleveland, Ohio.
God then brought Mark and Candy from Philadelphia after 12 years of church planting work in the inner city to be a part of the SEEDnet team and plant churches on the west side of Cleveland.
Pray for them both as Cleveland is the 9th most dangerous city in America. We are confident that God has equipped them to advance his kingdom in dark areas like this. Pray also for their families and their adjustments. Pray that God would settle and establish them in homes, vehicles and family routines.
