Jesus said, what we do unto the least of these, we do also unto Him. As Christians, we are commanded to care for the widowed and the fatherless, yet we often ignore their plight as we careen through life harried by the demands of our self inflicted business. Imagine the heart of God as it breaks over the child taken from its home because it was the victim of the ugliness and sin of man. Imagine God’s shame as we who are called his own do nothing.

The ministry established by QGBC, “Seeds of Hope” seeks to become an agent of change in the lives of children who are in need of adoption or who are in the foster care system. Our vision is based upon the directives of Jesus in Acts 1:8 that call us to minister at home while ever expanding our outreach to the ends of the earth. Our overall goal is to see every child in the Stokes County adoption or foster care system, and eventually the world, placed in a Christian home. “Seeds of Hope” will initially focus its efforts locally in Stokes County with the hope inspiring other churches worldwide to become vehicles of obedience to God’s commandment of care.

In honor of National Adoption month, we kicked off this ministry with a special series on Sunday, Nov. 16 & 23, 2008.  Join us as we seek to hear God’s heart for these, the most vulnerable among us.  Packets of information are available from the church (if you would like one mailed to you, contact the church office).
