THE IEL CYCLE

Ground preparation

PlowingPlantingNurturingHarvesting

Isa 28:23-26 TLB

23 Listen to me, listen as I plead: 24 Does a farmer always plow and never sow? Is he forever harrowing the soil and never planting it? 25 Does he not finally plant his many kinds of grain, each in its own section of his land? 26 He knows just what to do, for God has made him see and understand.

Mark 4:26-29 NIV

26 "This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain-first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

1. IEL Cycle timeline is to be used as GUIDE, Not to be implemented dogmatically. This means missions determine specifics in unique situations.

2. Give SPACE for situational needs much more for the working of

the Holy Spirit.
