Pioneer Operating Budget
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly, will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously… God loves the cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9:6–7). The law of sowing and reaping is very simple. One stalk of corn yields around four ears of corn. If I only sow three seeds of corn, I will enjoy about 12 ears of corn on the cob. But if I sow 100 seeds then I will harvest 400 juicy, sweet ears of corn that I can share with friends and neighbors or sell at the farmer’s market.
