Seeds of Hope Publishers

Seeds of Hope Publishers Engaging Churches in the Healing of Hunger & Poverty at http://www.seedspublishers.org/ Seeds is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Our most basic purpose is to engage Christians to act on Christ's commission to care for the poor and helpless of the world, and to encourage and inspire those who do. We believe that Christians respond with compassion and energy when they are informed about the realities of poverty in the world, and when they are offered specific, creative ways to act. We exist to provide that information, and to

make our readers aware of the wide variety of ministries and opportunities for participation available to them.
