“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
-Jeremiah 17:7-8

What can be done?
Roots to Life is a Bible-based ministry located in Middle Tennessee whose mission is to plant the seeds of the Gospel into the hearts of the lost and to help believers in strengthening their evangelism. All of this is centered around God’s Word. Our four mission objectives are as follows:
-
To plant the seeds of the Gospel in the lives of the lost that they may be saved (John 6:47)
-
To help the saints to grow in sanctification (Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Thessalonians 5:11)
-
To equip the saints that they may develop a fruitful passion for evangelism and mission-minded living (Acts 20:24)
-
To encourage the saints to be rooted firmly in The Bible (Psalm 119:97-104)
To accomplish these objectives, a variety of ministries have been developed. We offer evangelism seminars, Bible studies, and more. Click on "Ministries" to learn more.
