    We are Mustard Seed International.
    We plant seeds of change in the lives of children.

    Mustard Seed International (MSI) is connecting isolated communities with the education that every child deserves.
    We do this by training quality educators with the capacity to change the future.
    WE TEACH

    We plant seeds of hope in the hearts of children because we believe that life-giving education can change the future of Indonesia.

    WE LOVE

    We love because God first loved us. It is this love that compels us to go into remote areas to start schools, care for orphans and serve those in need.

    THEY LEAD

    We believe in the importance of local leadership. We train and equip local youth with the necessary tools to help their society flourish.

    because of the work god is doing through msi, generations are empowered and communities thrive through a holistic model of transformative christian education.

    2026 EASTER DEVOTION 

    This Easter, we pause to remember the heart of our faith, Jesus Christ, who gave His life and rose again. From the cross, to the waiting, to the hope of resurrection, we are invited to reflect on His love and respond with gratitude.

    Across Indonesia, this same hope is being shared every day through Mustard Seed International. Christian teachers serve faithfully in classrooms and villages, many where children are hearing the name of Jesus for the first time. Their work is rooted in the Gospel—the same story we remember at Easter.

    As you journey through these three reflections, may your heart be drawn again to Christ, and may gratitude shape the way you live, serve, and share His love.
