Seeds of Mustard Ministry

Today's blog is dedicated to a wonderful new ministry called "Seeds of Mustard." Check it out to see how you can get involved!

Seeds of Mustard is a faith based IRS recognized non-profit ministry. The ministry began in Sept of 2009, following the untimely death of George and Nicolette’s 16 year old son. The ministry is funded by the support of local churches, individual donations and the operation of a thrift store located on Maynard Road in Cary. (For more details on the history of SOM, visit www.seedsofmustard.org.)

The mission of SOM is to bring glory to God by assisting children and families in crisis situations with the hopes of furthering HIS kingdom by serving HIS people. Since its inception, SOM has helped dozen in families in providing clothing, furniture and financial assistance. Currently, SOM is providing support locally to children in low income communities in Cary near the store and abroad in Dominican Republic through Rainbow Families. It has partnered with Freeway Church, Grace Christian School, Haven House, the Cary and Kraft YMCA and Rainbow Families, and is looking for more opportunities to form additional long-term relationships.

SOM needs help. Thrift ‘n Gift is located in 2000 sq ft and is outgrowing its space. God has given us opportunity to double our space and our rent. Currently 100% of our proceeds from the store go straight to the mission field. Expenses including rent, utilities, insurance and our one paid employee have been paid through regular individual contributors to the ministry.

How can ABC and its members help?
ABC can greatly help by spreading the word through church communications. (How will they know if we do not tell them?) and setting up collection boxes for the store several times a year.

Members can:
1. Consider becoming a regular financial contributor to Seeds of Mustard.
2. Shop at Thrift ‘n Gift located at 1381 SE Maynard Road, Cary, www.thriftngift.org
3. Donate gently used items to Thrift ‘n Gift.
4. Donate time by becoming a volunteer. We are in desperate need of Spanish speaking volunteers as well as volunteers to help with Craig’s list items, website, advertising and general store positions.
5. PRAY for Seeds of Mustard and Thrift ‘n Gift. That GOD’s will and ways would be accomplished for HIS name’s sake.
