Mission Trips
“When Msgr. Gregory founded the mission program, his aim was clear. Given that the children are abandoned and have a variety of disabilities, feeling loved is especially critical to their well-being. Since he couldn't bring the children to the world, he decided to bring the love of the world to the children.”
-Fr. Tony Gomez, St. Linus Church, Norwalk, CA
Interested in supporting a missionary or mission team? 
Each year over 700 mission volunteers visit Mustard Seed Communities to participate in short term mission trips.
Through our mission program we strive to create a spiritual environment for people to grow their faith. While it may be challenging to reach out to our children who have disabilities, and who are forgotten, abandoned, and marginalized; we have found that once missionaries look into a child’s eyes, they see the face of Christ.
On a Mustard Seed Communities mission trip, you will experience many things. Our children are living with many types of disabilities and will most likely never travel far outside of their homes. In an effort to bring the world to them, you will spend a great deal of time playing with and helping to care for the children. You will work on a variety of projects which may include things like painting, gardening, clearing land, or light construction.
Mustard Seed offers mission trips to Kingston, Jamaica; Montego Bay, Jamaica; Nicaragua; and Dominican Republic.
Mission trips run from Saturday to Saturday accommodating groups with a minimum of 10 people and a maximum of 24, depending on the location. We welcome groups from every faith denomination.
