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

Europe 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. The church also seeks to foster ecumenical dialogue and reconciliation in Bulgaria by offering unique ecumenical services, as well as organizing a variety of forums and conferences. Church members hope to reach out to the intellectual elite, including artists, journalists, and politicians, in the capital city of Bulgaria. This grant is an important example of our desire to encourage new models of ministry that deliberately seek to reach the unreached at all levels of society. By reaching Bulgarian intellectuals using an ecumenical platform, this church is taking a bold step in introducing the gospel in a new and effective way. The Foundation looks to partner with churches who offer innovative strategies to reach individuals from every class.
