Most churches collect prayer requests on sticky notes, comment cards, or forms, and then the trail goes cold. Seedling is a prayer-management platform that helps churches track every request from submission through follow-up, so people are not left wondering whether anyone prayed.^1
Guests submit by voice or text; staff and intercessors are notified and pray; requesters receive confirmation and ongoing care.^1 Pastors can see AI-powered themes, sentiment, and spiritual-health patterns.^1 The team reports processing over 15,000 prayer requests across churches on multiple continents.^2 Churches can scan handwritten prayer cards, auto-assign intercessors, customize confirmation messages, run sermon-based campaigns, and open shared prayer threads.^4 SMS notifications reach Australia and the Philippines.^4 Tentmakers, a marketplace ministry, mobilizes four to five intercessors per request through Seedling, and recipients can replay recorded prayers through the day.^5 Churches can get started free, then grow into a subscription-based annual plan.^1
Seedling started in September 2024 at the Lausanne Congress in Seoul, when church leaders asked for a system for intercessory prayer that kept the local church at the center.^2 Salt & Light Company builds it.^6 Founder and CEO Darren Allarde also serves as Student Pastor at Echo.Church; Amar Patel is Co-Founder and COO.^2 Allarde uses Seedling in his own youth ministry and writes: "We started building a prayer tool. Through dogfooding, we discovered we're actually building a shepherd's dashboard."^7 A local church became the first paying customer in May 2025, and the first three Filipino ministries onboarded that November.^2 Partner logos include Saddleback, Echo Church, Eternal Wall of Prayer, Tentmakers, and New North Church.^1
"Seedling allows us to pray for requests and send the testimony to the caller. It's one of the most powerful things I've seen for our prayer team members to steward." Phil Elmore, Care Pastor, Christian Life Center^1
"I love that Scripture is right there next to what we're praying - it's God's Word partnered with intercession." Benjamin Richau, Prayer Team Leader, Tentmakers^5
