Importance of Planning
One transforming aspect of the seed projects to cell leaders is planning. ….Planning has become valuable to our leaders because any seed project that is thoroughly planned bears tremendous results and leaves great community impact. Planning has become extremely relevant because not only is it helping to bear good fruit but it is also helping our leaders to plan their own lives.
