Why Forgotten Seed

Some people may say why did you choose Forgotten Seed for your missionary outreach. It all started when I wanted to choose a new career that would fit for me. I felt compelled by the lord to take a business class I found for low income people. I didnn't mind because at the time I was doing temp jobs that incorporated me in subing for people who were on vacation or took a day or two. It wasn't so bad but God was pricking on my heart. One night a year and a half ago I went to sleep perpelexed with what type of program can I do. I woke up in a start as if someone had punched me in the stomach. I found my self thinking "that's it, that's it; .....Forgotten Seed." " For they are God's forgotten people. " Who are the Forgotten Seed, but the elderly who are lonely and in need of socialization. I latter felt another tug on West Africa as well due to the fact that my husband is from there. He says that people there are just like here, and because of the political wars things have got rough and a lot of people just don't have jobs. Medical coverage is not like here and people many times can't afford doctors paying cash out of pocket. If you can't pay you can't be seen. Another concern is that Some people don't have but one meal a day. We here have public Assistance, but they don't have this system at all. How do you feel about this let me know your thoughts and concerns. How would you like to help.

Organizations Logo

If you look at the right hand corner you will see the Logo that the lord has helped me to create. It shows the hand of God and how there was a seed that grew to a certain height but it is not complete, just as those that are not doing well are not forgotten by God. They are still growing and with the help of his God and his fellow man. What also comes to mind is please be patient with me God is not threw with me yet. Can you relate.
