What does "Watering Seeds" mean?
The name was created on the spiritual principle, "it is in giving, we receive...You reap what you sow!” In order for a planted seed to grow, it must be nurtured and watered. Watering that seed symbolizes the time and energy it takes in order for it to take root and produce fruit. It represents the power of God's love through His kingdom. 1 Corinthians 3:6 - "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow." One person can start a positive chain reaction that impacts thousands of lives by "watering seeds" of hope and encouragement in a time of need, just like a little water in the summer can provide for a garden full of flowers. By watering one seed at a time, we are empowering lives one by one to fight the "good fight of faith!"
How can I participate as a disabled athlete?
Disabled athletes play a very big role in our organization. In an effort to promote healthy, active lifestyles, challenged athletes encourage other disabled individuals that athletics can be a gateway into freedom and independence. If you are interested in becoming more heavily involved in the organization or would like more detailed information on upcoming events, please contact us at info@wateringseeds.org.

What is a prosthesis?
An artificial device used to replace any missing body part such as a limb, tooth, or an eye.
