“We at LIFE Outreach International count it a privilege to work with Dwayne Weehunt and Sower of Seeds International Ministries, Inc.

Dwayne’s heart for the suffering is inspiring! God is using him to reach neglected and impoverished children in India and other parts of the world. As LIFE and S.O.S. have partnered together in various projects, we have witnessed their tireless efforts and God’s obvious blessing. Life Outreach supports the work of S.O.S. Ministries because of their excellent reputation and their effective ministry. They deserve your support as well.”

K. K. Devaraj, Founder & Executive Director, Bombay Teen Challenge

"We count it a privilege to work with Dwayne and his team at Sower of Seeds International Ministries, Inc. 

Dwayne has shown remarkable empathy towards the underprivileged in our country. Dwayne is someone whose heart embraces the poor and those without a voice, especially women and children who are sold into sex slavery.

God brought about this partnership in a timely manner. S.O.S. is one of our major partners in our ministry in India. We are grateful to Dwayne and his amazing S.O.S. team for joining with us now to work towards ending sex slavery in India. Your support to S.O.S. is commendable, well deserved; restoring hundreds of broken lives and is going towards the abolishment of sex slavery in India."

Toby Slough, Senior Pastor, Cross Timbers Community Church Argyle, Texas

"One of the greatest decisions we have made as a church family over the past five years has been to partner with S.O.S. International to meet the needs of the poor and hurting in the nation of India. Dwayne Weehunt is one of the most strategic leaders I know in involving the local church in the mission of advancing the Gospel in a place where less than 2% of the population has ever heard the name of Jesus. Their ministry honors the Lord and is producing real results!"

Key Values

• Communication of the “Good News” in word and deed.

We value the communicating of the message of God’s love for everyone in the entire world. As Ephesians 4:2-10 lays out, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)…” And John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” He sent His son to save the world!

There are two forms of communication, verbal and non-verbal. For communication of the Gospel to be really effective we must build bridges with our words and our actions. Not just telling someone they are loved by Jesus but also showing love to them. An authentic witness!

• The Mandate

We value the Great Commission as described in Matthew 28:18-20. “Jesus came and told His disciples, ‘I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’”

We value the conscious efforts of the Church, it its corporate capacity, to proclaim the gospel among peoples in the nations. We value missions, the work of the church to become an irresistible influence to an unbelieving world.

• Sending Laborers

Jesus said “the workers are few”. We are recruiting, training and sending laborers into the harvest. We will do that by training them to serve, creating opportunities for them to serve and supporting them while they serve.

• The Poor

Scripture is clear that we are to be involved with people in need. We are to be reaching out to those in need to show Christ’s love with the goal of meeting their special needs, including their need to know Him.

• The Church

God intended for the church to be the primary instrument to reach the world and make disciples. All of the staff and board of Sower of Seeds International Ministries will be committed, giving and serving members of local congregations. Our major emphasis is to empower and equip members of the Body of Christ to effectively reach the world. To design and support outreaches that allow an opportunity for them to love the lost and the needy. We believe that the local Body of Christ is the Hope of the world.

• Leadership

We define leadership as strategic passionate influence that effects change. We recognize that good leadership is one of the keys to effective ministry. We want to invest in leaders who will be capable of accomplishing outstanding results.

• Relationships

We are committed to establishing long-lasting relationships that will allow us to see the fruits of our work and to have influence over the direction of the projects we support and are involved in. We are not motivated to simply give money or send laborers. We desire for all projects to be an extension of the Kingdom of God.

• Worship

We aim to bring the Nations into the white-hot enjoyment of God’s glory. As John Piper says, “Missions exists because worship doesn’t!” Where we are not stunned by the Greatness of God, how could we be sent with the ringing message, “Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.” (Psalms 96:4)

• Sustainable and Reproducible Models

We value the development of models of ministry that can be sustained and multiplied within the cultural context of which it is implemented.

Sower of Seeds International Statement of Faith

Sower of Seeds International Ministries, its board and staff affirm our belief in historic Christianity as revealed in the Scriptures. Our position is specifically as follows.
We believe in:

Article I- The Holy Trinity

The mystery of the Holy Trinity, namely, that the one God exists eternally in the three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and has so revealed Himself to us in the Gospel.

Article II- The Lord Jesus Christ

The full deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, who by reason of His birth of the Virgin Mary, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, glorious ascension and triumphant reign, is the only mediator between God and man.

Article III- The Holy Scriptures

The trustworthiness of the canonical books of the Old and New Testament as “God’s Word written,” which contains all things necessary for salvation, teach God’s will for His world and have supreme authority for faith, life and the continuous renewal and reform of the Church.

Article IV- Justification and Sanctification

The justification of the repenting and believing sinner as God’s gracious act of declaring him righteous on the ground of the reconciling death of Christ, who suffered in our place and rose again for us. And sanctification as the gracious continuing activity of the Holy Spirit in the justified believer, perfecting his repentance, nurturing the new life implanted within him, transforming him into Christ’s image and enabling him to do good works in the world.

Article V- The Christian Church

The Church as the Body of Christ, whose members belong to the new humanity, are called to live in the world in the power of the Holy Spirit, worshipping God, confessing His truth, proclaiming Christ, witnessing His love through a changed life, supporting one another in love and giving themselves in sacrificial service to those in need.

Article VI- Spiritual Gifts and Ministry

The calling of all Christians to exercise their God given gifts in ministry, and to work, witness and suffer for Christ: together with the particular calling of ordained ministers, who by preaching, teaching and pastoral care, are to equip God’s people for His service and to present them mature in Christ.

Article VII- The Return of Christ

The personal return in glory of our Lord Jesus Christ at the end of this church age for the resurrection of the dead (some to life, some to condemnation), for the glorification of His Church, and for the renewal of the whole creation.
