Why mustardSEED?
It starts with a Bible
The name reflects the idea of a mustard seed: something small that can grow into something much bigger.
We're not trying to create a huge organisation overnight.
We're starting with something practical - Bibles that people have and Bibles that people need.
From there, the vision can grow.
Connecting surplus with need
The practical connection between the two
Our modern world produces an enormous amount of surplus.
Books sit unused, Bibles aren't read. Equipment sits in storage. Businesses have skills they can offer. Organisations have resources and goods they no longer need. Meanwhile, other people and communities have genuine needs.
mustardSEEDventures aims to become a practical connection point between the two.
Community before infrastructure
The hub is important, but the people are the Focus
The initiative will develop around people and organisations willing to participate - donors, recipients, volunteers, businesses, churches, community organisations and others.
Infrastructure should serve the community, not the other way around.
Where we're going
Start local while Growing organically.
The initial mustardSEEDventures hub is planned around Benoni, Gauteng, with the possibility of satellite locations in KwaZulu-Natal and the Northern Cape as the initiative develops.
We don't want to build something enormous before there is a community to support it.
We want to start with what is available, work with people who believe in the idea, and let the initiative grow organically.
Have a Bible to give? Looking for one? Have a business that could help?
