The Seasons of Life (SOL) team hopes that the stories illuminated in this issue will encourage SJSMers during these trying times. The theme “Springing Forth” is an extension of the agrarian metaphor SOL has adopted for 2021. In the previous issue, we explored the importance of becoming “The Good Soil.” Following the trajectory, this issue centres on springing forth and bearing fruit, the promised
outcome of sowing seeds in good soil. The feature articles highlight new works that are beginning to sprout in the lives of SJSMers, on both personal and ministry levels.
