Pandanus : The pandanus tree is either male or female and produces large seedpods. Its fruit contain multiple seeds and each seed can contain up to three plants. Seeds can be widely distributed, by animals, rivers and streams.
Indigenous: The deep-seeded uniqueness of the Indigenous people has continued to sprout and flourish in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles throughout their history. We’ve seen through this study series some examples of those obstacles: loss of voice, no treaty and the truth of their stories not being fully disclosed. God is mobilizing people towards the goal of, “working together for a shared future”.
Joseph: God positioned Joseph to be an integral part in God’s covenant promise to bless all the families of the earth by saving them during the famine and Jacob blessed his seed (descendants) before he died.
