The SEED Leadership Summit 2025
“Sowing Forward: A Decade of Impact, A Future of Possibility”
In 2025, we mark a milestone—ten years of sowing seeds of leadership, discipleship, and global mission impact on the SIL campus. To honor this decade of faithful service and transformation, we are excited to present a refined, reimagined version of the SEED Leadership Summit—a one-day Gala celebration designed to reflect on the past, rejoice in the present, and refocus for the future.
While retaining the name SEED Leadership Summit as our banner, this year’s edition takes on a festive and commemorative tone as we gather for the SEED Leadership Gala 2025—an elegant evening of storytelling, worship, fellowship, and vision casting.
This will not be just another banquet—it will be a moment of remembrance and redirection.
Attending the SEED Leadership Gala offers more than just an evening of celebration—it’s a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and be inspired.
Throughout the night, you’ll engage with diverse voices and visionary leaders from the global missions community. You’ll have the chance to hear from thought leaders, share in powerful testimonies, and participate in impact-driven conversations that address the challenges and opportunities facing missions today.
Whether you're a long-time partner or newly curious about cross-cultural ministry, this gala is your gateway to networking with like-minded individuals, gaining fresh perspectives, and joining a movement committed to sowing seeds of joy across the world.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy…
As we gather for the SEED Leadership Gala 2025, we do so under the banner of this sacred call — to rejoice in what God has done among the nations and to press forward into what is yet to come.
“Sowing Forward: A Decade of Impact, A Future of Possibility” is our gala theme — it’s a declaration of hope and responsibility. For ten years, Sowing Seeds of Joy has labored to plant seeds of discipleship, leadership, and cross-cultural mission. And now, we look ahead — to a future where the nations are guided by His truth and united in His joy.
“Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.”
The possibility of planting SEED is truly endless.
