The Harvest is Plentiful
I would like to welcome you to my website. Whether you're here from just browsing, or someone suggested this site, or you bought one of the products I sell and scanned the flow code, thank you for your interest. The majority of the money I make from selling my different items goes directly to ministering to the different projects I have listed, so thank you for your donation! We want to be used by God in supporting the many needs in Nigeria, and we can only do that with your support. Please consider supporting one of the different projects in which we minister.
Throwing Seeds was established not only to help those in need, but to also act as a support group for missionaries already established in the respective areas. We see the need to come alongside those who are already active in their areas and support them in their passion and encourage them both through prayer and financial support. We are currently serving in Jos, Nigeria, and Irapuato, Mexico..
About seven years ago, God laid it on our hearts to get involved in the mission work in Jos, Nigeria. At first, we had to find out exactly where we fit into the whole process, but as we learned more about what's happening there, it became clear what we needed to do.
As you would expect, there are many needs in Nigeria, so many that it can be overwhelming as you see the people suffering there, and that makes it difficult trying to figure out where to try to help. We have narrowed it down to a few areas.
Many have asked me about who I work with in Nigeria. The church I attend, Fellowship Bible Church in Jacksonville, Texas has been supporting a missionary there for 24 years. Peter and Miriam Fretheim started City Ministries, and have been ministering there for many years. One of the main focuses of their ministry is taking care of orphans and widows, along with many other ministries. They are located in the city of Jos, which is in Plateau State. I made my first trip there in 2016. It is amazing and extremely humbling sight to see how things work in Nigeria. It is also amazing to see how God has been working, and every time I go to Nigeria, I am amazed yet again. The Fretheims have been a huge encouragement to me, seeing the many ways they humbly serve, all for the Glory of God.
Our Cattle Outreaches play a vital role in opening the door to meaningful dialogue. In many communities, cattle are more than just livestock—they represent livelihood, stability, and security. By caring for their cattle, we demonstrate genuine compassion, breaking down barriers and fostering trust with those of different beliefs.
For as little as fifty cents per animal, we provide essential vaccinations and treatments, ensuring the well-being of their herds. This simple act of kindness speaks volumes, showing that we care—not just with words, but with action. As a result, thousands of cattle have been treated, leading to hundreds of relationships formed and, ultimately, hearts opened to the message of peace.
Beyond veterinary care, these outreaches have contributed to conflict resolution and peace building in certain regions. Our team has been able to share about the Prince of Peace, and many have embraced faith through these connections.
Your Support Makes a Difference
Every donation goes directly toward purchasing medications and supporting our team’s travel to reach these communities. Your generosity enables us to continue this impactful mission.
Please consider giving to help sustain this life-changing outreach!

Access to clean water is a daily struggle for many in Nigeria. Waterborne diseases are widespread due to a lack of safe drinking water, impacting countless lives. At Throwing Seeds, we are committed to making a difference.
One of the most effective solutions is portable water filters—like the one pictured above—that can purify up to one million gallons of water. These filters, purchased from Sawyer Filters for just $25 each, come with a bucket attachment, allowing any plastic container to become a source of clean, safe drinking water.
Challenges of Water Access in Nigeria
Water is obtained in several ways, each with its own challenges:
• Natural Sources: Lakes are scarce, and streams flow only during the rainy season, often drying up when water is needed most.
• Hand-Dug Wells: Some communities rely on shallow wells, but these can dry up in the dry season, making them an unreliable source.
• Boreholes: The best long-term solution is a borehole well, which taps into deep, sustainable water sources unaffected by seasonal changes. A missionary we work with in Nigeria has access to a water well drilling machine that can reach these deep reserves, providing a continuous supply of clean water for entire communities.
How You Can Help
Your support can change lives by providing access to clean, safe water. Whether by funding portable water filters or contributing to the drilling of sustainable borehole wells, every donation makes a lasting impact.
Please consider giving to support a water project and bring life-saving water to those in need!

What an incredible and strategic tool the Audio Bible is! It seems like it’s a perfect fit for the mobile, diverse nature of the migrant communities we are working with. The fact that it can be programmed in various languages and tailored with additional resources, like stories and teachings, really makes it a unique and adaptable tool for ministry.
And the affordability—$5 each and potentially getting them at half price for bulk orders—makes it even more accessible to reach a larger number of people. It’s amazing how God is providing such an opportunity to spread His Word so effectively and affordably.
Our Cattle Outreaches play a vital role in opening the door for meaningful dialogue. By ministering to communities through these outreaches, we demonstrate genuine care and compassion. This simple yet powerful act breaks down barriers, fostering trust where there was once hesitation.
When people see that we truly care—not just with words, but through action—they become open to hearing what we have to share. Through these relationships, lives are being impacted, and hearts are being transformed.
This is such a powerful and beautiful way for the Word to spread! The mobility of the migrant people, along with the Audio Bibles, creates this incredible ripple effect. It’s like the Bible is traveling with them, and wherever they go, the message is reaching new people. It's so inspiring to think of how something as simple as an audio device can be a tool for spreading faith in such a vast and organic way.
For many in Nigeria, obtaining a Bible is a challenge. Life’s daily struggles leave many without the means to purchase one, and persecution has resulted in believers losing their Bibles as their homes were burned in attacks.
At just $4 per Bible, we have the opportunity to place God’s Word into the hands of those who need it most. We provide different types of Bibles to meet individual needs—Youth Bibles, Adult Bibles, and Hausa-language Bibles—ensuring that people can read and understand Scripture in a meaningful way.
Every donation helps put the Word of God into the hands of those longing for hope.
Please consider giving to help provide Bibles for those in need!

Nigeria, a nation of over 213 million people, is rich in culture, beauty, and diversity. However, poverty, conflict, and persecution have left many struggling to survive. In Plateau State, where our ministry is based, nearly 5 million people live amid economic hardship. With an average monthly salary of just $20–$30, many families face immense challenges in providing for their basic needs.
At Throwing Seeds, we are committed to easing this burden by providing food and essential supplies to those in need.
Ongoing civil unrest has left many women widowed, forcing them to provide for their families alone. In Plateau State alone, hundreds of marriages have ended due to violence. Through City Ministries, we partner with local leaders to deliver food, supplies, and support to these widows, helping them care for their children and rebuild their lives.
In Nigeria, many Christians face severe persecution. Violent conflicts have driven families from their homes, forcing them to flee with only the clothes on their backs. Some seek refuge in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, while others relocate in search of safety and stability. For some, returning home is possible, but for many, the threat of violence prevents them from ever going back.
Your support can bring hope and relief to those facing extreme hardship. By giving, you help provide food, essential supplies, and resources for widows, displaced families, and persecuted believers in Nigeria.
Please consider giving to make a difference in the lives of those in need!
