Featured Story
Aayan* is from a nation in South Asia where over 99% of the population remains unreached by the Gospel, and where following Jesus often comes at a great cost. His country ranks among some of the most persecuted in the world. Aayan has sensed a strong calling from the Lord to serve Him in full-time ministry, with a special burden for reaching children and youth.
Through God’s providence, Aayan was connected with our ministry, CREATE Seeds. What began as a simple collaboration—offering insightful feedback and cultural guidance on a children’s book we were developing—soon grew into something far greater. Not only did Aayan help shape the content to speak directly to the hearts of children in his nation, but he also took the bold step of printing and distributing the book himself.
Fully aware of the risks, Aayan moves forward in faith with courage and conviction, trusting in God’s power to protect and lead. In one remarkable moment, the Lord opened a door for him to share the book with a group of Muslim students and their teacher, and it was well received.
Today, Aayan is a vital member of the CREATE Seeds team. He has a big dream—to see culturally relevant Kingdom storybooks created and shared with children all across his country. Through his boldness, faith, partnership, and the generosity of God’s people, seeds of the Gospel are being planted in one of the hardest-to-reach corners of the world.

CREATE Seeds is dedicated to bringing the love of Jesus to children in unreached regions by creating high-quality, culturally relevant, and meaningful art and media resources, such as storybooks, animations, colouring books, apps, and more.
We focus on reaching unreached children within the age group of 4-14 through creative and contextualized visual storytelling. We also train, equip and empower others to carry this vision forward.
