Mustard Seed International (MSI) is an interdenominational, Christian organization that empowers the next generation and establishes thriving communities through a holistic model of transformative Christian Education.[1] It was established in Formosa (now Taiwan) by Lillian Dickson following World War II.[2] After the war, Dickson and her husband returned to Formosa to further establish their ministry. Subsequently, Lillian took a more active role in the ministry work that would one day be known as "The Mustard Seed" and later Mustard Seed International.[3] In the 60s, the organization supported clinics worldwide and assisted in establishing public health interventions.[4] MSI has been relevant to tens of thousands of people in over sixty years.[4] Initially, the organization includes partnerships and initiatives in India, Africa, and Eastern Europe, now it focuses the programs only in Indonesia.
