Sowing Seeds of Hope Mission Statement -
"Faith in Action"
The mission of Sowing
Seeds of Hope is to improve the quality of living and working in Perry
County through an improved educational system which will develop job
training skills consistent with local job needs and further economic and
human development through enhanced social and physical infrastructures
to meet existing and further needs, while improving agricultural
markets, housing, health care, and transportation. Promoting
tourism, recreational areas, and attracting retirees are desired
economic development tools.
Sowing Seeds of Hope Vision
We envision a future for
Perry County as rich as her Black Belt soil. In the future, Perry
County will be a vital community with an effective rural trading center
that creates opportunities and training for jobs in the agricultural,
industrial, and retail sectors with unified communication and
cooperation among all citizens, regardless of ethnic or economic status.
It will have strong, progressive leadership and educational, social, and
recreational programs for all ages. It will be a picturesque
community featuring our historical and cultural heritage in a crime-free
and clean environment.
Sowing Seeds of Hope Values
We value hope. Our
hope rests in common belief in God. Every person is encouraged to
discover and fulfill his or her God-given mission.
We value faith. Beyond our faith in God, we have faith
in the local communities of Perry County and the ability of the local
people to dream, set priorities, and act.
We value trust. Our primary hope for relationships of
trust is kinship in the family of God, which ultimately takes supremacy
over all divisions of theology, politics, race, and socioeconomic
position.

residents to define the dream, invest in its realization, offer hope to
themselves, and maintain control of their own futures.
