Seeds of hope grew across Indonesia as teachers, students, and communities strengthened education, leadership, and opportunity through steady, faithful investment.

In February 1951, a boy said yes to the request of MSI founder Lillian Dickson, whom he had never met, and God used his obedience to help plant seeds of faith that still bear fruit today.
