Micro Seeds
At JustSow, we connect generous sowers with bold student-led projects that help people encounter Jesus.This year, students across Australia are stepping up to launch creative evangelistic projects, ideas that speak the language of this generation and point people to Jesus.If you’re a student with an idea, a Micro Seed can help you get it off the ground. If you’re a sower, your generosity helps young people try something small, grow in confidence, and be shaped as future evangelists.
Funding for evangelism can be hard to find. JustSow directs money to creative evangelists so mission can multiply.

The story behind the name
A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
— Jesus, Matthew 13:1–9
JustSow, inspired by Jesus’ teaching, sows money generously in order to see gospel seed scattered abundantly through the work of creative evangelists.

What is a Micro Seed?
A Micro Seed is a one-off $1,000 seed offered to students once a year through a JustSow campaign commencing in April. This campaign is delivered in partnership with Spheres and Mustard, working directly through schools and student networks to empower young leaders to live out their faith boldly.
Micro Seeds exists to help students take a first step with a gospel-centred idea they are ready to try. They are about beginnings. They are not about having everything figured out.
