Bringing Hope Through Wilderness and Jesus’ Love
Dear Friends of Seeds,
Thank you for being part of our mission to retreat, restore, and revive teens and families through wilderness and Jesus’ love. Your support is transforming lives, and I’m so grateful for each of you. Whether you’ve donated, pledged, prayed for us, or are considering joining us, let’s celebrate what God is doing and look ahead together!
Program Development Updates
We’re making incredible progress in developing our programs to better serve families in crisis:
We’re excited to announce a Seeds Wilderness Therapy alumni reunion trip this summer, where past participants can reconnect, share stories of growth, and celebrate their journey with Jesus in the wilderness.
Our core leadership team at Seeds Wilderness Therapy is now established and actively working together, guiding our mission to bring hope to teens through wilderness and Jesus’ love with renewed vision and strength.
Our team will be attending the “Hope for the Heart” Biblical Counseling Conference on June 21, in Plano, TX to gain new insights and skills for bringing Christ-centered healing to teens and families.
Goals for the Next Few Months
Over the next few months, we’re aiming to:
Focus on funding our newly established leadership team and growing the team by recruiting key members by August 2025.
Completing a thorough market analysis by July 2025 to ensure our programs intentionally fit the needs of our target families, while beta testing new offerings like shorter retreats and virtual family support by fall 2025.
Fundraising Progress Update - My Support Journey
I’m excited to share that after just a few weeks, I’ve raised 11% of my $2,600 monthly goal! With verbal commitments from wonderful supporters like you, I’m close to 30%, which marks the threshold when I can start taking on ministry assignments. Team members’ salaries at Seeds are support funded by people just like you, allowing us to be more nimble and eliminate costly overhead to start reaching people faster. I’m getting closer to being funded, but I need your help to reach and sustain this goal. Every gift helps!
