Seeds of Hope Publishers

Seeds of Hope Publishers is a nonprofit group of believers responding to a common burden for the poor and hungry of God's world, and acting on the strong belief that Judeo-Christian biblical mandates to feed the poor were not intended to be optional. The group intends to seek out people of faith who feel called to care for people in poverty. They hope to do so by informing and inspiring a variety of responses through publications and resources including periodicals, newsletters, and worship materials. Seeds published its first newsletter in 1979 and, although the publications have metamorphosized over the years, has maintained ISSN 0194-4495 ever since.
Seeds of Hope is housed by the community of faith at Seventh & James Baptist Church in Waco, Texas.
==History==
In 1977, a mission group at Oakhurst Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia (which was, at that time, a Southern Baptist church) came together with a common burden for people living with hunger and poverty. Gary Gunderson and Andy Loving, members of that group, sent out a mimeographed one-page newsletter to 600 Southern Baptists. This was the beginning of Seeds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oakhurst Baptist Church: Our History )
The next year the group produced the first issue of ''Seeds'' in magazine format (with the subtitle “Southern Baptists Concerned about Hunger”) and a “miss-a-meal” book of 30 meditations entitled Roots of Hope. The publication, ''Seeds Magazine,'' then began a bimonthly format with an alternating supplement called ''Sprouts''.
By 1982, the ministry had expanded to include other Christian groups, and the subtitle on the banner changed to “Christians Concerned about Hunger.” That year the editors published a ''Seeds Reader'' on Women and Hunger, which won the prestigious Hunger Media Award given by World Hunger Year.
In 1983, the Seeds folks created, with Alternatives for Simple Living, ''All Tied Up,'' one of the first weekend huger education retreats in the United States. The next year, working with an ecumenical coalition of denominational hunger programs, Seeds published ''A Guide to World Hunger Organizations,'' by Lou Knowles. In 1985, Seeds won a second World Hunger Media award for another ''Seeds Reader'' on The Church and Hunger.
A special tenth anniversary issue, produced in partnership with UNICEF, on Child Survival took the staff to West Africa, Brazil and Indonesia in 1987. Also that year, Seeds published the ''Hunger Action Handbook,'' by Leslie Withers and Tom Peterson, which can still be found on the desks of social workers and college professors who are interested in hunger issues. Seeds also won the Metropolitan Atlanta Community Foundation for Outstanding Nonprofit Management in 1987.
In 1991 Seeds of Hope, Inc. was formed in Waco, Texas, and, after a blessing ceremony at Oakhurst Baptist Church, the Seeds ministry moved onto the campus of Seventh and James Baptist Church, with Katie Cook as editor and Susan Hansen as business manager/associate editor. The Waco staff and Council of Stewards began by publishing ''Roots of Hope, Volume II,'' a book of 40 meditations on hunger, written by hunger leaders from different Christian denominations as well as other faiths. They continued publishing ''Seeds Magazine'' and the supplement ''Sprouts'' for six years. In 1984, they worked again with an ecumenical coalition of hunger programs to produce ''A Guide to World Hunger Organizations, Volume II'' by Michael Williamson.
