2007 Annual Report

C1 “How shall we picture the kingdom of God? . . .

It is like a mustard seed . . . ” —Mark 4:30-32

The Mustard Seed Foundation is a Christian family foundation established in 1983 under the leadership of Dennis W. Bakke and Eileen Harvey Bakke. The Foundation was created as an expression of their desire to be faithful stewards of the financial resources entrusted to them, to bring together the Christian members of their extended families into common ministry, and to advance the Kingdom of God. The Foundation provides grants to churches and Christian organizations worldwide that are engaged in Christian ministry including outreach, discipleship, and economic empowerment. The Foundation also awards scholarships to Christians pursuing advanced educational degrees in preparation for leadership roles in both the Church and society. All directors and staff of the Mustard Seed Foundation are committed followers of Jesus Christ and affirm the Lausanne Covenant.

Dennis and Eileen Bakke 1 Guiding Principles

CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM The gospel of Jesus Christ and the advancement of his kingdom are central to all that we are and all that we do. It is our joy to worship and serve him and to submit ourselves to the authority of the Bible. We seek to be Christ’s servants and ambassadors and to encourage as many as will come to follow Christ. We seek to encourage the formation of disciples from every “unreached” community, city, and culture. We desire to see the whole Church bring the whole gospel to the whole world. Therefore, we award grants and scholarships to churches and individuals representing the spectrum of biblical Christianity, including Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical traditions. We affirm God’s redeeming and restorative grace and power as sufficient to bring blessing to all structures, institutions, and societies. All grant and scholarship recipients of the Mustard Seed Foundation must proclaim a personal faith in Christ, affirm the basic tenets of orthodox Christianity, and desire to serve and witness in Christ’s name.

GLOBAL The Mustard Seed Foundation recognizes the global nature of the Body of Christ. Therefore, we desire to participate in God’s work to encourage churches and individuals through grants and scholarships around the world. Our goal is to give the majority of our funding to churches and individuals worldwide, while intentionally limiting our investment in the United States. Since the Foundation’s inception in 1983, we have awarded grants and scholarships in nearly 150 countries.

LOCAL CHURCH We recognize the Church as God’s primary representative in the world. Therefore, we try to maximize the role and responsibility of local congregations in the initiatives we support. We seek to partner with and empower local congregations to identify, equip, and support their members who are called to specific areas of ministry in the church, marketplace, and the world. We also consider local church support and accountability as primary indicators of the priority, integrity, and sustainability of any potential grant or scholarship initiative.

INDIVIDUALS IN COMMUNITY We believe that God endows individuals with the passions and gifts needed to further the work of his Kingdom. We believe that God desires those whom he calls and equips to be both nurtured by and held accountable to the local Body of Christ. It is our belief that individuals are strongest and most able to fulfill their callings when they are integral members of a local church. Thus, in all our giving we seek to support individuals who are active members of a church community. The power of individuals to be agents of grace and change in community is exemplified in history. We therefore seek opportunities to empower individuals who are clearly affirmed and supported by their local church to use their unique gifts to fulfill their callings.

SMALL BEGINNINGS The biblical parable of the mustard seed reminds us that great things often have small beginnings. Through abiding in Christ and following him our seemingly small efforts possess power beyond imagination. This parable exhorts us to respond faithfully to God’s calling but to trust outcomes to him. In our giving we seek to trust individuals and churches as they listen to God by taking small steps toward their visions. Therefore, our grants are available to churches, including those that may be poor, powerless, or unproven. We recognize that results cannot be guaranteed and that big results often have risky beginnings. We choose to specialize in small, start-up initiatives, trusting that what is sown in faith will return abundantly. 2 2007 Overview

The Foundation’s expenditures totaled $9.4 million in 2007, roughly 15 percent more than 2006. Approximately 86 percent of these funds were given to individuals, churches, and Christian organizations through over 1,700 scholarships and 1,000 grants. The remaining 14.4 percent, or $1,352,246, was used to administer this work through an international team of 16 staff located in eight countries around the globe.

Nearly 53 percent, or “$4,946,676, of total operating expenditures was given through grants primarily to local churches in major urban centers worldwide. Granting remains the primary giving area and continued to grow in its share of our total expenditures in 2007. The Foundation divides granting into eight geographic regions. The percentage of granting in North America continued to fall relative to 2006, primarily due to intentional limits placed on giving in the United States. As a result, Europe was the largest granting region in terms of financial investment, surpassing giving in North America for the first time.

Scholarship giving was channeled through the Harvey Fellows, Theological Education, and Bakke Graduate University scholarship programs. Together these scholarship initiatives represent 31.1 percent, or $2,923,098, of our 2007 expenditures. While scholarships increased in total dollars, they remained constant as a percentage of total giving compared to 2006.

The remaining two percent of our giving went to new or special initiatives of the Foundation. These included our new Theology of Work grant program, and matching personal gifts given by Foundation Board and staff to Christian organizations.

0 Grants

As our name implies, the Mustard Seed Foundation provides seed funding for small start-up projects of churches and Christian organizations around the world. We seek to partner with congregations that identify, equip, and support their members who are called to specific areas of ministry in the Church and society. We look for initiatives that offer innovative approaches to church-based ministry. The Foundation seeks to help launch projects as a minority partner, providing funds over a limited time period, and in a way that encourages self-sufficiency and reliance on the local church. We consider local church accountability and financial support to be primary indicators of the priority, integrity, and sustainability of a particular project. A church must be willing to invest financially in a project for us to consider investing in it. The Foundation has a strong interest in the unique challenges faced by the urban church and we believe investing in churches located in large cities is particularly strategic. We typically fund projects that share the gospel with non-Christians (outreach), generate income and economic decision-making opportunities to poorer Christians (empowerment), or equip Christians to better proclaim and demonstrate the gospel (discipleship).

Jesus Healing and Restoration Ministry was awarded a three-year grant totaling $7,500 matching church support to establish a revolving loan fund for poorer members of their church in Nairobi, Kenya. In the first year of the project, the church gave loans to 35 church members living in the Koroghocho slums to start small businesses. Loans were provided at a five percent rate of interest over a maximum six-month period, with an initial one-month interest-free grace period. Once repaid, the loans will further revolve to new members, or become additional loans to first-round borrowers in good standing. Roughly 85 percent of the total budget of the project is allocated for loans that should benefit over 100 people during the first three years of the project.

The Foundation funded nearly 80 revolving-loan funds to builds the resources of the Kingdom one Christian at a time empower poorer Christians in 2007. We believe that giving and provides a tangible witness to the world of the love for decision-making power and ownership to the poor brings both each other within the Church. hope and dignity.

Yokohama Grace Bible Church was awarded a three-year grant totaling $48,000. The awarded funds matched church support to plant a new church in the Yokosuka community of metro Tokyo, Japan. The church plant started when a small number of families began meeting together regularly in their own community instead of traveling an hour to attend services at Yokohama Grace Bible Church. This gathering was affirmed and supported by the mother church as a means of establishing a daughter congregation in Yokosuka. Our grant was sought by the Yokohama church to help cover start-up costs for their daughter church, including rent, salary support, and basic materials and equipment needed for ministry.

The Mustard Seed Foundation has long supported the which one church provides leadership, financing, and the core establishment of new churches as an effective means of reaching members for a new church. This is a church replication model out and making Christ known within a community. While we based on healthy division rather than competition or conflict. support different types of church planting initiatives, we prefer It encourages a local church to sacrifice a part of itself for the a church-parenting model for establishing new churches, in sake of the expansion of the Kingdom.

In 2006 the Christian Ecumenical and Apostolic Church received a three-year $21,000 grant matching support from the congregation to enable it to become a viable self-supporting church. Comprised of people from Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant traditions, the church has a specific vision to help reconcile and represent elements of these three major Christian traditions in Bulgarian society.

We were pleased to encourage this church in Athens to develop an outreach initiative involving the use of classical music.

16 Middle East

St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church - Ezbet El-Nakhl, located in Cairo, Egypt, received a grant of $5,000 to establish a gym outreach ministry among community youth. St. Mark’s is a relatively new church that is struggling to effectively draw the surrounding nominal Christian community to a deeper knowledge and devotion to Christ. The church hopes that by establishing a fun and safe place for Christian youth to gather, they can meet both their physical and spiritual needs. Our grant went to help the church purchase recreational equipment to begin a new form of ministry outside the church that they can sustain long term.

The Foundation is pleased to partner with a number of Coptic Orthodox churches in Egypt, which has the largest grant also underscores our desire to encourage local churches concentration of Christians in the Middle East. Granting to in a variety of faith traditions to seek to reach out in new, Orthodox churches has increased considerably over previous dynamic, and unconventional ways to effectively share the years — a trend we expect to continue in the future. This love of Christ.

Scripture Union Mexico was awarded a three-year grant totaling $15,200 matching the financial investment of local churches to organize a series of large public evangelistic events in Mexico City. These events not only seek to share the gospel with words, but also include free medical care among the poor, games and sports for children, and a skate and bike show for youth. Local churches are using these events to make contact, and then personally follow-up with those who express a desire to follow Christ and be nurtured in their faith.

Christian Life Church was awarded a three-year $22,000 grant to establish an outreach ministry to incarcerated gang members in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Individuals in the church had a vision to visit gang members in prison to share the gospel of Christ and distribute Bibles. The church provides basic necessities such as personal care items, towels, blankets, food, and recreation equipment that prisoners do not get from the prison system. In addition, church members bring craft supplies so prisoners can make items that their families can sell outside the prison to raise funds for their livelihood.

The Mustard Seed Foundation looks to support bold efforts of churches who empower their members to share the love of Christ with “the least of these” – those who are left behind and ostracized by society. We desire to support initiatives that gospel, while creatively investing in the lives of prisoners, seek to redeem broken lives by following Jesus’ example and provide a framework for transformation of the lives of both command to serve others.

The center holds outreach events such as concerts and conferences aimed at starting a church among the professional class. These events help to establish contacts with people who would not normally enter a traditional church building. Our grant helps this church afford to rent space for their bookstore, as well as provides salary support to a new pastor responsible for outreach.

Bethany House Fellowship in Kolkata, India received a three-year $9,250 grant in 2005, matching the church to reach out to the Dakshin Barasat community. Our grant was used to expand a primary school, establish an adult literacy ministry, and support a team of evangelists to work intensively in the community. The hope is that by ministering holistically to both children and their families, a viable new church can be established where none previously existed.

Outreach can be very difficult in communities without any Christian presence. In many parts of the world, ministering to the physical needs within a community provides a critical platform for also ministering spiritually. This is particularly true in places throughout South Asia where predominately Hindu, Muslim, or Buddhist communities are often hostile to the direct proclamation of the gospel of Christ. The Mustard Seed Foundation supports efforts that creatively present the gospel in these places through ministries such as preschools, health clinics, and other forms of social outreach.

The Trust gathered vulnerable migrant women from different states in northern India into cooperatives, provided small business and vocational training and gave small loans to each woman. Each beneficiary returns the loan amount with two percent interest within 11 months, so the funds can be used for another small business. This initiative is one of several undertaken by these local churches hoping to provide a tangible witness of the love of Christ to nearly 3,000 women in the first few years of the project.

28 In 2006 Elshadai Church received a two-year $3,100 grant to establish a revolving loan fund among poor Christians in Chennai, India. Due to a tsunami and heavy rains, many church members had lost their homes and belongings in their slum community. In response, the church established an income generation project for women in their congregation through a revolving loan fund. The women started small businesses in tailoring, candle-making, pickle-making, soap- making, and vegetable selling. Once the loans are repaid, they will be lent again to new participants or as a second loan to expand existing small businesses.

Revolving loan funds are the most common initiatives we fund through our Empowerment category. Not only do poorer Christians get to make decisions about their own future, but by charging interest and holding loan recipients accountable the entire church also encourages them. We favor this model for repayment. of income generation because the fund can be self-sustained

29 Southeast Asia

Friendship Church was awarded a three-year $9,500 grant matching church support to establish a Christian preschool. The aim of the project is to minister to both children and their working parents by providing this critical service in an area of Bangkok, Thailand. This preschool will help the church establish relationships with as many as a hundred children a year. Through these relationships, the Friendship Church will have opportunities to communicate the gospel of Christ.

Mustard Seed Foundation seeks to support different relational forms of outreach. We believe that projects that serve the community and build relationships are often an effective strategy for a church to share Christ in their neighborhood. Supporting the establishment of church-based preschools, primarily in major urban centers like Bangkok, is one way to help churches around the world launch effective ministry.

We expect to expand this educators in a biblical basis of a theology of work. A proper special granting initiative significantly over the next few years theology of work empowers ordinary people to infuse their and hope to see a greater number of churches actively teaching Christian faith in the institutions, structures, and industries their congregants a theology of work. in which they work throughout the week. We believe there is a great need for pastors to learn how to steward the gifts and callings of their congregants in their own places of work and transform them into places of dynamic personal ministry.

Theology of Work grants are awarded to theological institutions, both formal and non-formal, to create and offer courses that enable students to effectively steward the callings and vocations of their congregants in their workplaces. This grant initiative hopes to encourage seminaries and other theological training organizations to integrate such a theology in their core curriculum by promoting the development and teaching of theology of work courses. It is our desire to see those trained through our grants begin teaching and modeling this theological concept in their own churches and ministries.
