Programs and results
What we aim to solve
There are many faith-based organizations striving to come alongside those in their communities that are struggling with poverty and a lack of hope. These same organizations, though they have a mission and vision to help change lives, they can struggle with the necessary resources and know-how to see their projects, events and ventures become a reality.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Seed2Life International's goals are to partner with churches, ministries and organizations, here in the U.S. and globally, that have a vision for reaching their communities with hope. Our desire is to be a source of encouragement and support as they strive to see their mission unfold.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The core of our mission's strategies fall into three programs:
1. Micro-grant Program
In partnership with Venture 1:9 (V19), a Christian ministry that provides nonprofit leadership training, mentoring and coaching, Seed2Life provides micro-grants ($2500) that will be used through V19. V19 provides these ‘seed funds’ to ministries for the purpose of coming alongside them for six months to coach and mentor the development of long/short term fundraising plans to multiply the grant 10x.
2. New Ministry Incubator
Seed2Life helps new ministry startups & those with an idea for a ministry to launch in a healthy, God-honoring manner; greatly increasing the likelihood of future success. Seed2Life engages in a 6-12 month partnership to provide training, mentoring and coaching in the areas of fundraising strategies, financial management, organizational development, marketing-website, and fiscal sponsorship or acquiring 501(c)3 status.
3. Strategic Resources
Seed2Life provides strategic resources for Christian ministries to meet tangible needs in their mission, fill a gap to complete a project or event and/or help increase their capacity to serve and share the Gospel. Seed2Life chooses one specific resource to focus on providing each year/period… ie. bibles, baby items, home building, school supplies, shoes, etc.
Through research, word of mouth, etc., we find opportunities for short-term partnerships with organizations and groups in need of help launching a new ministry, funding a project, or acquiring needed supplies and goods.
Each partnership opportunity is reviewed by our team to ensure that the partnership meets our specific criteria
• In alignment with our Vision and Purpose
• Of like faith and foundational beliefs, in accordance with our Doctrinal Statement
• Best match for our available resources
Seed2Life networks and partner with other churches, organizations, ministries, businesses, and individuals for the purpose of acquiring, gathering and distributing necessary resources for those organizations we are helping.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
As an organization, Seed2Life International continues to build our credibility and reliability to assist missions-based efforts to succeed in reaching their goals, both short and long-term. Our team consists of experienced and passionate people, focused on continuing to build and strengthen our ministry so that we are better positioned to provide what others need to be successful. We continue to strive to grow our team, our resource network and knowledge base.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In the past 5+ years, we’ve had the privilege of being involved in eleven ministry partnerships, both locally in the U.S. and globally. These partnerships have included helping provide bibles, 'soup kitchen' appliances, house building projects, shoes for orphanages, outreach ideas/start-ups and the sponsorship of kids for youth camps and special events. We've helped organizations in Washington and Arizona, as well El Salvador, Ethiopia, The Philippines and Paraguay.
Below is a testimony from one of our partnerships:
‘We are blessed by the gifts from our ministry partners. Seed2Life International just showed up one day and said how can we help? We serve 120-140 hot meals a day to the poor and homeless in the Apache Junction, AZ area. God continues to provide as our numbers of hungry people continue to grow and our old equipment breaks down. Seed2Life provided a wonderful brand-new replacement for one of our freezer-less refrigerators that was on its last 'leg'. I really like the convertible freezer/refrigerator option that it gives us. Thank you for joining us as we feed the hungry, the homeless and the poor.’

Executive Director
Brian Hetzer
Some years ago, I wrote out my Life’s Vision & Purpose – ‘To maintain an intimate relationship with Jesus;seeing His truths come alive in my life as I live a servant life that inspires, encourages and blesses those around me. I envision myself helping churches/communities to develop sustainable Kingdom growing outreach ministry and helping individuals in the Body of Christ to discover their Kingdom purpose and ways
to serve God through it.’ God has continued to fulfill His purpose and vision in my life. Over the years I’ve served in a variety of church and faith-based nonprofit leadership roles, including board chair/executive director of Love INC of Yakima, Director of Outreach at Stone Church, Yakima, WA, Volunteer Coordinator for Horizon Hospice (Spokane, WA) and Volunteer Program Supervisor for Feed My Starving Children
(Mesa, AZ). Today, I am excited to be a part of the leadership team of Seed2Life International. I love the vision - helping to resource those on the front-line.
