About Us
Children love stories. Children love pictures.
Create Seeds exists to create culturally relevant storybooks, colouring books, animations, and interactive apps that communicate the love of Jesus to children with little access to this good news.
Like a single seed has the potential to produce an abundance of fruit, it is our desire to plant seeds of faith in the hearts of unreached children and their families through our children’s resources. And in doing this, perpetuate the kingdom of God throughout the world.
Our Mission
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me.”
We take Jesus' words seriously, but the question is how do we do it?
A single image can convey a thousand words, transcending language barriers. Reflecting on our own childhoods, we recognize that many of us were deeply influenced by books. While in the West we have a wealth of beautiful Christian children’s resources, much of the world remains impoverished.
We passionately believe that every child, especially those in unreached regions, deserves access to Kingdom storybooks and animations tailored to their cultural identities. These resources should feature characters who resemble them within familiar settings and employ language that resonates with their understanding. Our team’s mission is to see this need met by producing such resources with a high standard of excellence in contextualized Gospel storytelling and visual arts. In this way, we are “planting seeds” in the hearts of children so they may grow up to be citizens and leaders in God’s growing Kingdom across the globe.
