Our Story
Seed to Tree Ministries is about carrying out God’s desire for His love to be made known to all people. Our goal is to take God’s love to all nations by what we say and what we do.
Claudia O’Neil, founder and director of Seed to Tree Ministries, first heard God's call to missions at age twelve in a small church in rural Kentucky. A seed was planted in her heart as she listened to missionaries tell of the need to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to Africa.
Many years later, that planted seed sprouted when Claudia went to visit missionary friends in Kenya in 2012. While there, she saw the physical and spiritual poverty of the African people. Her heart quivered as she remembered her childhood vision. After returning home, she formed Seed to Tree Ministries.
With help from volunteers and generous donors, Seed to Tree is ministering to and meeting many of the practical needs of the African people in the country of Kenya.
