The requirements listed for this honor are those proposed to the NAD. The NAD has accepted the honor, but has not yet released the official requirements. It is not known whether the official requirements differ from the proposed requirements, but once that information is available, this page will be updated.

The NAD has recently adopted the practice of not releasing the official requirements (and answers) until after the honor patches have been received by AdventSource. This takes several months, so we expect to see the official documentation sometime in the summer of 2009. Releasing the information sooner (as has been done in the past) causes an undue burden on AdventSource, because they receive many phone calls asking about the tokens.

Note
Unlike many AY Honors, this honor does not have “knowledge” requirements categorized separately from action requirements. Rather, the requirements for honor completion are listed categorically.

a. What is seed sowing?[edit | edit source]

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.
