Jeana Anderson, author of Weeds, shares her personal journey through Alpha-gal syndrome, chronic illness, anxiety, and the fear that her life might never return to normal. Drawing on lessons from gardening, she explains how fear, isolation, self-doubt, guilt, and identity loss can become emotional and spiritual “weeds” that must be recognized and removed. Her testimony highlights the importance of Scripture, prayer, supportive relationships, and faith in God—the Master Gardener—as she moved from fear toward healing and hope.

The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.

Ezekiel 10:14: "And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle" (KJV).
