Seed Sowers goes back to 1986 when Christians in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada decided to deliver a small poster of John chapter 3 verse 16 to all the homes in their local area. Along with the poster, there was an ‘Owners Manual’ which briefly outlined the meaning of John chapter 3 verse 16 and a reply card. The reply card gave the opportunity to request more information about the Christian faith and the Bible.

One day, a Christian Manitoban farmer was in his field watching tumbleweed blow across the newly-prepared soil. As it was blown around the field the tumbleweed dispersed its seed. He knew that this seed would either emerge soon after or stay dormant in the ground for years before springing into life, just like the parable that the Lord Jesus Christ told his disciples. It struck him that God works in a similar way with the souls of men and women, although instead of weeds the outcome is eternal life. He came to the conclusion that displaying the Word of God in homes would have a far greater impact than any sermons he might preach.

From that point he set himself the target of distributing these Seed Sower posters throughout his home province of Manitoba within his lifetime. This target was reached within five years and the work stretched into other Canadian provinces and then into the USA.

Since then, Seed Sowers posters have been delivered to homes in many other countries including the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Italy, Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia, Russia, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salavador and Mexico. In total over 20 million have been distributed globally in about 25 different languages.

There are countless stories of how Seed Sowers have been used by God to bring men and women to salvation, testifying to the power of the Word of God alone. Many distributions have been used in conjunction with special outreaches. The vision of Seed Sowers continues to be to get the Word of God displayed in as many homes as possible.

How many thousands, indeed millions, of homes have never been confronted by the Word of God?

How much longer will we sit back and watch millions go in and out of their homes oblivious to the urgency of salvation?

Time is not on our side, we need to sow the seed now, to reach into homes across the the world, to homes in your area.
