Sunflower “Seed” Planting

I came up with this outreach idea while volunteering with Dora High School's Softball Team. The girls love to eat sunflower seeds. So I went to Sam's and got a large bucket with 60 packs of sunflower seeds in each and made a shipping label that had the name of my church, the meeting times, and a little saying about how much God loved them. Then I put one of those labels on every pack of the seeds so that every time one of the girls got a bag they knew what church it was from.

I got the great privilege of seeing two of the girls come to Christ because of some salted sunflower seeds. I have since given both schools in my area a bucket for each spring sport, one for the baseball team and one for the softball team. The buckets are not that expensive and the students love them.
