a. What is seed sowing?
Seed sowing is an activity that opens the way for evangelism. It is somewhat secular in nature, and thus non-threatening to people who are anti-religion. People who would not normally attend an evangelistic program may well attend one of these activities. If successful, a seed-sowing activity leaves a positive impression about the church on the participants and establishes a level of trust.
b. Name 5 examples of “seed sowing”

- Personal Finance Seminar
- Computer classes
