What we do

The prime foci of our work are:

Helping organisations establish biblical value based programmes for:

  • wholistic community transformation amongst the most dis-advantaged people;
  • developing people to run such projects;
  • and designing and strengthening organisations to do such work.

Advocating for:

  • the abandonment of institutional, service-delivery based approaches to community development;
  • and their replacement by locally rooted, biblically based, community empowerment activities.

We do this by:


  • Disseminating ideas through publications and conferences;
  • Mentoring and coaching leaders;
  • Providing training courses and learning experiences;
  • Providing consultancy services;
  • Sharing detailed curricula, process guidelines and other tools together with “how-to-use” training;
  • Helping people set up practical projects in different parts of the world;
  • Linking people to learn from each other.

We are committed to the principles of dialogue education - guided self-discovery learning.


We are Mustard Seeds Shared because we share small but powerful ideas which when applied faithfully produce big and lasting results.
