Mustard Seed International (MSI) is an interdenominational Christian organization. It was established in Formosa (now Taiwan) by Lillian Dickson after World War II.[1]

History

After the war, Dickson and her husband returned to Formosa to continue their ministry work. The work eventually evolved into what is now known as Mustard Seed International.[2]

During the 1960s, MSI supported clinics worldwide and was involved in the establishment of various public health interventions.[3]

Present Day

Today, MSI primarily operates in Indonesia. Over its six-decade history, it has interacted with tens of thousands of people.[3]
