    at a time

    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.
