The
Church as a Window: Seed Project Stories from Around the World (Video)
In this video, you will observe six local churches from different parts of the world who find practical ways to serve their communities and demonstrate God's love for their neighbors. From a village community in Cambodia to the capital city of Uganda; from a middle class church group in Hong Kong to an urban slum church in Kenya, love may take different forms, but it never fails.

Seed Projects are activities of loving service conducted by a small group of church members as they reach out to address needs outside the church, in the local community or at a distance. Such projects are typically simple to carry out, of short duration, and done with local resources. They should be motivated by God’s intentions, and of a compassionate and not manipulative nature. They should be bathed in prayer and thoughtfully planned. Where possible, those who benefit should be encouraged to participate. Where appropriate, they can be planned to include a spiritual dimension. When completed, they should be evaluated by Kingdom standards.
