Seeds International
Cordially invites You to Join us as We
Celebration Sunday
Sunday May 30, 2010
Seeds International has been “Scattering Seeds” of the Gospel among public school children for the last 10 years.
2010 is our anniversary year and we are inviting you to celebrate with us.
May 30, 2010 (or your closest alternative) has been chosen as
Celebration Sunday.
Churches all across Canada are celebrating with us.
You are invited to participate.
Looking Back...
First Team: From Waterloo, Ontario.
Delivered 500 Seedbags to schools in Latin America.
Each Year Since: We have faithfully returned to many countries and visited hundreds of schools.
Today: We have distributed the “Seedlings” study to 150,000 children. Ministered in over 1500 schools of children’s cells in 15 countries.
We are grateful for the many individuals, churches and team members who partnered with us to make this possible. It is a great success story! We will meet thousands of these children in heaven because of our combined faithfulness.
Looking Forward...
We are looking forward to the next 10 years. We have no idea how many children, in how many schools, or how many countries we will have reached by 2020. We do know that we will faithfully band together more friends, more churches and more Missions organizations to reach more children.
We are asking God to give us a 20/20 vision!
We are asking you, and your church for 15 minutes in your Sunday morning service to join us and others for
Celebration 2010
This event will serve your church by
Banding together with others across the nation in a joint moment of praise for God’s hand on the mission field
Actively involving the children of your church in a ‘direct-impact’ Missions activity
Providing your congregation with a focussed, well presented missions motivational moment
To help the event go smoothly we offer several items to facilitate your Celebration.
Bulletin inserts and Power Point slides will be emailed to you for advance promotion.
A School Classroom Kit* will be shipped to you well in advance of Celebration Sunday. In it will be:
A four minute DVD for the Celebration service.
A complete Seedbag with material and contents
A large Project Seedbag Poster.
The requested number of Gift Cards**
A possible Skype call from the field and/or locating a chosen school on Google maps
A full set of guidelines for your Celebration Sunday with room for your input.
Gift Cards
One of the most compelling portions of the Celebration Sunday will be the chance for the children of your congregation to fill out Gift Cards like the one in the picture. We put these cards into every Seedbag we send, so that children in our field schools will know that a young Canadian took the time send this special gift along with a promise of prayer. Often the cards include an optional picture of the child and a hand print drawn in marker. This card is by far the most popular item in the Seedbag when the students open them up.
School Classroom Kits
These kits containing everything a classroom needs to do Seedlings, and also provide storage for the materials while at the school. They can be labelled with your churches name as a gift to the school if you so choose.
What do you do now?

We will email you a Request Form to fill out, so we can make sure we know what you need.
We will send you the outline of the day and any preparations that are needed.
