Hope Seeds : Plant A Seed! Feed A Soul!

God Loves Kids In All Parts of the World!

"Help me get planted There are people to feed"

If the seeds of God's creation could talk, I think they would ask for help to get them planted. The seed was created with the purpose of food production (see Genesis 1:29) so that people would have plenty to eat. It is the goal of Hope Seeds that no person on earth should be hungry for the lack of seed. We also send human care items for relief and desperate situations. Please prayerfully consider helping our work.

I thank you for what you do as a Teacher of God's children. Hope Seeds offers to you one more way to share the love of Christ to a hungry world. I invite your participation.

So how can you help Hope Seeds?
The effort of children supporting mission work is wonderful to behold.

Items to collect for Hope Seeds to ship are:

HUMAN CARE ITEMS	GARDEN ITEMS
toothpaste	gloves
toothbrush	trowels
hotel shampoo	flower rake
hotel soap
bar soap	disposable camera
wash cloth	NO SEEDS
blanket	*Why?*

These donated items are packed with love by volunteers and work teams with seeds designated for that country and region into T-Top Totes donated by Ladies Sewing Circles or into a Bucket of Hope recycled from local restaurants.

The offerings of children are very helpful in defraying our expenses as we prepare shipments to foreign countries. The need is great and generous children respond.

Why you should not send us seed packets!
Many times we receive seed packets from people who are generous and want to help.

However, they don't know that many varieties we grow here in the US will not perform well elsewhere in the world.

Or, they don't know that most seed in seed packets in garden stores have been out of good environmental controls for several months and may have lost much of their viability or vigor.

Or, they are are not aware that most of the seed placed in retail stores are at least two or more years old and may not have high germination.

We want to explain to you that we select GOOD SEED, the RIGHT KIND of SEED for each country and location. We carefully package it in a way which protects the seed. We ship seed from our SEED WAREHOUSE to the missionaries and ministries, thus lessening the time the seed is not in a proper and safe environment. It is very important to each of us who are involved in sending and/or planting these seeds that they perform as well as they should. There is much at stake when people plant these seeds we send... We need to send the very best way we know how.

If you want to learn more about the importance of how and why we send seeds, we invite your call or email. May God continue to motivate you to plant seeds, for that has been part of the Creation Plan (Genesis 1:29).
