Mustard Seed International (MSI) is an interdenominational, Christian missionary organization that also provides public health services. It was established in Formosa (now Taiwan) by Lillian Dickson following World War II. Its stated purpose is "to present Christ to all we meet." 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. MSI has been relevant to tens of thousands of people in over sixty years. The organization includes partnerships and initiatives in India, Africa, and Eastern Europe. The organization also runs clinics worldwide and assists in establishing public health interventions.
