2025 GO THE DISTANCE CHALLENGE

In remote villages of Indonesia, small children walk for hours to reach the nearest school, with no guarantee that a teacher will be present. Thanks to the Go the Distance Challenge, schools are being built and teachers are pioneering education.
The 2025 Go the Distance Challenge raises funds to connect underprivileged and marginalized children in Indonesia with life-changing education. All funds raised will be used to help provide scholarships for underprivileged children, build more classrooms, and send teachers to remote islands.

This summer, a Mustard Seed team from North America is visiting Indonesia to witness the work on the field and meet teachers, students, and communities impacted by your generosity. 

Join us in the Go the Distance Challenge to help provide scholarships for children in need, send Christ-centered educators, and build classrooms in remote areas.

      The 2024 Go the Distance Challenge Impact

      Thanks to the incredible support of the Go the Distance supporters in 2024, Mustard Seed International continues to grow and make a lasting impact. This ongoing expansion exemplifies MSI’s unwavering commitment to unlocking the potential of every child and addressing the critical need for quality education in underserved communities.

        Completion of the School Building

        TransformNation alumnus Harta has achieved a remarkable milestone with the completion of a village school in the remote Papuan Highlands. This school, a testament to Harta's dedication and vision, now serves as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the local community. Already, students have begun their educational journey within its walls, marking the start of a brighter future for the children in this isolated region. The school not only provides a space for learning but also stands as a symbol of how education can transform lives and empower communities.

          In another exciting development, Mustard Seed's school on Sumba Island is undergoing a significant expansion to meet the growing needs of its students. This includes the construction of a new building and the addition of two more classrooms. The two new classrooms are already in use, providing a much-needed space for children to learn and grow in a more conducive environment. These improvements will not only accommodate more students but also enhance the overall quality of education offered at the school. 

          THE IMPACT

          How Your Support Blesses Children in Indonesia

          In addition to ongoing building developments, Mustard Seed International remains dedicated to training and equipping teachers. Indonesia, an archipelago of over 17,000 islands, is home to approximately 1,300 ethnic groups and a population of 279 million, including 50-70 million Indigenous Peoples. To address the diverse educational needs of this vast and varied nation,
          60 TransformNation (TfN) teachers are currently serving in villages, where they teach and mentor children, fostering hope and opportunity in underserved communities. The chart below highlights their current locations:
