1. GUESSING GAME: (10 minutes)
Have them guess how many seeds may be in the bowl. Then, count the seeds and say, "Isn't it amazing that when we plant just one watermelon seed we get this delicious watermelon full of all these additional watermelon seeds! If we planted all of these seeds, we would have more watermelon than we would know what to do with!"

2. TEAM GAMES: (10 minutes)
Make two teams maybe girls and boys, select a shooter and blindfold that person one from each team.

The Jesus seed needs fertilizer to help it grow, anyone who feeds me Spiritual food is nurturing the Jesus seed in me like my parents, teacher, Pastor.
As Christians we should be sharing our faith with others, that way other people will hear the Good News and they may become Christian. The body of Christ continues to grow when we share seeds (the Good News) with others we can share Jesus with our friends and family, pray for them, share the Good News out of the Bible, ask them to come to Sunday school. This way you will grow just like your Moringa plant is growing look at how tall it has got.

6. APPLICATION / ENCOUNTERING GOD:

Those who hear the Good News and take it to heart, can accept the free gift of salvation from Jesus Christ. Encourage the kids to come forward and take a look at their hearts and evaluate what kind of soil it is. Come all who want to seek God and ask God to change their hearts to give them soft pliable hearts open to receive His Word.

CLOSING PRAYER: Heavenly Father we know that what is sown does not come to life unless it dies so we lay our lives down on the altar of service. You have promised that what a man reaps what he sows. So help us to sow seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
