About Us
Denis & Eileen Nogue founded Seeds to Harvest Ministries in 2017. Since the mid 2000's, they've been on numerous short-term missions trips to Nicaragua and Guatemala. God has opened the doors for them to serve the rural villages around Coban, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Their desire is to see the lives of many impacted by the power of God as they travel and hike to many remote villages sharing Christ's love.
Their main focus is to Proclaim the Gospel through the Power of Media by showing the film called The Hope “The story of God’s Promise for all People” www.thehopeproject.com, and other evangelistic films that have been translated into the Indigenous languages, as many of the Indigenous cannot read. To reach many of these villages, typically by invitation, at times one must hike several kilometers. Since malnutrition is a huge problem and issue in these communities, Gleaner's soup is offered and as a result, they bring in to Guatemala 40’ containers of donated nutritious Gleaners soup and used medical equipment from the North Okanagan Valley Gleaners novgleaners.org.
To date, Seeds to Harvest has:

To date, Seeds to Harvest has:
- provided food to over 30 public schools for the implementation of feeding programs
- provided food to 3 orphanages
- home visits to hundreds of families of the most vulnerable which included people with a disability, elderly with no family support, widows and abandoned mothers, providing food and used medical equipment where needed such as crutches, walkers, wheelchairs.
- provided food to senior’s homes in which there is no Government support.
Future Projects and Opportunities:
- Expand the ministry by hiring a Q’eqchi’ speaking pastor to work both as our translator but also to follow up with villages after the gospel has been introduced through the film showings.
- Expanding the number of public schools who have requested food for feeding programs.
- Nutritional teaching using the soup as a tool to young Moms, especially, offers the opportunity for change in a country that has the 4th highest rate of malnutrition in the world.
- Providing midwives with ongoing supplies and in some cases the cost for materials for the construction of maternity clinics for midwives to use. Clinics also provide a private sleeping room allowing laboring women living in remote villages to stay once labor starts allowing for a safer outcome for mothers and babies.
Chris, Leah, Eli, Noah, and Selah Rozcyki have had a longing to be on the mission field since they were married in 2010. Chris did ministry with Paul and Thania Heier while in Nicaragua from 2004 to 2008 and in 2018 Chris & Leah have moved to Guatemala (Coban) to start ministry there. They will be doing language studies, helping with ministry needs with Seeds To Harvest Ministries, trying to open up doors to communities to receive the Gospel, helping feed the malnourished, and starting Bible studies. They are self-supported and rely on Chris's remote/online work. Any support they receive goes directly to help the community and ministry. Two of their children are going to school and making new friends. They are all adapting well to the culture and building relationships with the local community. Pray for them as they share Christ's love to those around them.
a Day with us...
The video clip to the right is a snapshot of a typical day in our ministry in one of our areas of work in which we visit the homes of the disabled, elderly, widows and orphans, provide them with food, pray with them and assess them for medical needs.
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. - 2 Corinthians. 9:10-11
