Sowing Seeds of Joy has being touching lives in many ways since 2007. Through our outreach programs we have given over 600 book bags to local students in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and provided shoes, socks and blankets to homeless men and women. We also, facilitate travel learn educational opportunities and conduct leadership training for individuals, youth, married couples, families, local churches and organizations wanting adequate preparation and training prior to taking a short-term or long-term mission excursion. We provide several training experiences and educational workshops on missions, trip preparedness, off and on the field readiness, and debriefing gatherings. We partner with like-minded organizations to address refugee concerns. Annually, we host grant writing and strategic business planning workshops to residents and community groups, as well as honor local veterans, social justice advocates, leaders, business entrepreneurs and pastors at our Seeds of Honor Gala. We connect, collaborate, and mobilize all peoples to be on mission with God. Our objectives are to partner and collaborate with others who demonstrate a sincere passion to expand their horizon, perspective, and humanitarian reach by engaging both in local and global communities, working to impact the lives of children, men, women and youth.
Educational sponsors
We are always looking for sponsors to help provide local students with book bags filled with school supplies (paper, pencils, folders, glue, crayons, markers, pens) and personal hygiene items such as (hand sanitizer, wipes and tissue) . $25.00 will provide one child a fully stuffed backpack for school.
In addition, funds are needed to help expand our capacity to serve homeless individuals in need of basic hygiene items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, socks, and deodorant for homeless men and women in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Sowing Seeds of Joy believes in empowering individuals to live a life of purpose by teaching and training others about global missions and humanitarian outreach. Services in the Dallas-Fort Worth area include: giving educational resources, school supplies, clothes, toothbrushes, deodorant, shoes, and personal items to local individuals and families, as well as delivering hygiene items, socks and blankets to the homeless.
As a mission focused organization who is committed to equity and justice, we strive to be good stewards of the public trust. We are deeply moved by the stark racial injustice that the intersecting crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and police violence toward people of color have once again revealed - racial injustice that is intertwined with America's past and its present. The racial and ethnic disparities that persist across economic, education, healthcare, criminal justice and other sectors of society make clear that systemic racism continues to undermine the foundations of well-being for communities of color by denying access to opportunity and making it more difficult to secure jobs, housing, healthcare, education, nutrition and equal treatment under law.
Faced with this moment of national urgency and entrusted by communities to lead in crisis, we affirm and commit to utilizing the following principles and values as a guide in our individual and collective efforts to advance equity and justice:
We commit to dismantling systemic racism, redressing past discrimination, and advancing equity within our organizations, in our communities and in our nation - through our organizational policies and practices, in our programmatic work and by advocating for changes in public policy and law.
