Seeds of Intercession

A young mother plants seeds of prayer with her child

Simple yet powerful: Take a handful of seeds and go to one of the large maps of either the world or of Sask atoon. Drop, sprinkle or place your seeds on the map as you pray for the communities in those areas.

May the seeds symbolize our partnership with God's mission. Through intercession we sow seeds of God's kingdom.

Simple yet profound. By taking a small walk in a sanctuary to engage in a symbolic (prophetic) act, I felt that I was active in a way that I would not have been had I sat in my pew and prayed quietly. What was it about the sowing exercise that captured my imagination and being so powerfully?
