March is our birthday month for the 4GENetwork. WooWhoo!!! Nine years old, and we’re just getting started.

Nine years ago, we launched the 4GENetwork (formerly known as LINC Ministries), and we have so many to thank. 

First, thank you to Merrily! Because of your faith in Jesus, you continually show grace towards me through a commitment to the work we both do. You are generous in ways only heaven can see. Without you, nothing that has happened these nine years would have happened. This is your fruit!!!

Thank you to the countless number of people who have given and prayed to take a ministry from scratch and ideas to influence more than 10 million people for Christ around the world. I wish I could list them; most would not want this recognition; they are just that kind of people. This is your fruit!

Thank you to the more than 300 people who have traveled to other countries with me to serve Jesus and those he loves. Your friendship and partnership in bringing grace and truth to people mean the world to me. This is your fruit!

Thank you to the volunteers who have done accounting, mailed letters, printed notes, helped with paperwork, organized trips, lead projects, introduced me to your friends, and so much more. This is your fruit!

Thank you to the more than 25,000 pastors who have invited me to serve and train them. They represent 6 continents, more than 90 countries, and more than 40 denominations. You are heroes to me. You have now trained more than 70,000 pastors with the training you have received. This is your fruit!

Thank you to my close friends, my board, my advisors who speak truth into my life. Your wisdom is values and welcome! This is your fruit!

Thank you to my prayer partners. Nothing happened without prayer, and your faithful prayer has created a ripple effect in parts of the world where your feet will never touch, but on your knees, you have paved the way. This is your fruit!

Thank you to our staff, Jenny and Mariko. I am so honored to serve alongside such gifted and godly sisters in Christ. This is your fruit!

Mostly, thank you, Jesus! You are worth everything, and I am so grateful to you for rescuing me, teaching me, and inviting me to be your friend and then to be a partner in what you are doing. We are your fruit!

In the next 12-15 years, through disciple making and training disciplemakers, by the grace of God, we will see more than a billion people across the world impacted by the Gospel of Jesus. If you want to join the 4GENetwork in this incredible movement of God, consider this your invitation. Contact me, and let’s talk. Much has happened these past nine years, but it feels like we are just getting started. Together, let’s bear some fruit!

So grateful,
Leonard Lee
