Area 4


Districts composing Area Four include:

Northern Plains • Missouri/Arkansas

The Kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!” For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.

Luke 17: 21b

Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain, but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

John 12: 24

For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake and for the sake of the gospel will save it.

Mark 8: 35

The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow; he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.

Mark 4: 26-29
