A year ago we celebrated Mustard Seed Foundation’s 25th
birthday. At our March annual meeting in South Carolina,
we laughed and cried and remembered God’s faithfulness
through good times and bad. We celebrated the incredible
journey God has given us as we steward His resources.

The Mustard Seed Foundation is a Christian family foundation
Along with millions of people and organizations around the
established in 1983 under the leadership of Dennis W. Bakke and
globe, the start of 2009 brought with it significant financial

uncertainties for our family foundation. Thankfully, Mustard

into common ministry, and to advance the Kingdom of God. The

worldwide that are undertaking new ministry projects including
Local church granting remains at the core of Mustard Seed
outreach, discipleship, and economic empowerment. The Foundation
giving, with about 50% of our operating funds given as grants
also awards scholarships to Christians pursuing advanced educational
to match local churches. We awarded 715 grants totaling $3.1
degrees in preparation for leadership roles in both the Church and
million to churches in 77 countries to support their outreach
society. The Foundation affirms the Lausanne Covenant as its missional
and growth. Members of our gifted staff and dedicated

these international, grassroots grants and to discern feasible
projects and appropriate grant amounts. By matching the
investment of local churches in discipleship, empowerment,
and outreach ministries, we believe that our “mustard seed”
grants are appropriately scaled, that accountability remains
with the local church, and that projects have a greater
likelihood of being sustainable long after the Mustard Seed
funds are spent.

Our Harvey Fellows Program, in its 17th year, financially
assists talented graduate students who are followers of Christ
and who are preparing to enter vocations where Christians
are under-represented. Last year the Foundation awarded
nearly $1 million to 85 scholars pursuing graduate degrees
at top-tier universities.
We want to thank Todd Pearson, who ended his term on the
Board in 2009, for his astute assessment of our grants. Todd
has a heart for nations and people groups that are closed to
the gospel, and we will miss his contributions to our Board
discussions. We welcome Lowell Bakke’s return to the Board
for a five-year term.
One of our newest initiatives, Theology of Work (TOW)
grants, received strong reviews from the dozens of seminaries
worldwide where the TOW courses are being taught.
Theology of Work courses are designed to help Christian
pastors and lay leaders understand and teach the sacred
nature of all believers’ work. We are grateful for Lowell
Bakke’s role in overseeing and championing this program.
We awarded $294,357 through 36 grants to seminaries
to develop and teach TOW courses.
The Mustard Seed Junior Board, comprised of members of
the Harvey and Bakke families age 13-18, awarded 12 grants
totaling $94,600 in 2009. Dargan Thompson, who chaired
the Junior Board, graduated and was succeeded by co-chairs
Whit Harvey and Norris Laffitte. Dargan, thank you for your
capable leadership last year, and for the ways you mentored
the younger Junior Board members.
In 2008 and 2009 we significantly reduced the Theological
Education funds spent on scholarships to international
seminaries, granting $300,000 to support 374 students at 46
institutions in 2009. We are planning to continue this smaller,
more targeted scholarship program for seminary students
in the years ahead. Mustard Seed also has established a
scholarship program for students attending Bakke Graduate
University (BGU) in Seattle; 87 BGU graduate students
received financial aid from MSF in 2009 totaling $300,000.
The day-to-day work of the Foundation is carried out
by a team of 11 staff members who are located in seven
countries around the globe. This small, effective team serves
as ambassadors for Christ as well as ambassadors for the
Mustard Seed Foundation, encouraging the witness of the
local church as they identify worthwhile grant and scholarship
opportunities. We are so grateful for each member of the staff
and commend them for the amazing work they do.

Guiding Principles
Mustard Seed Foundation has a long history, for which we
are grateful. We find that each year brings new opportunities
to witness God’s gracious activity in the world and to partner
globally with dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Each year
also brings challenges, endings, and opportunities to be on
our knees in prayer. We wait expectantly to see what God
will do with this family, the relationships, and the Foundation
funds in the year ahead.
In Christ,
Dennis and Eileen Bakke

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
Jesus 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 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.
<adWVa
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.
AdXVa8]jgX]
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

2009 Overview
2009 began with a slow start due to the continued global
recession but ended with increased giving over 2008. The
Foundation’s expenditures totaled $5.9 million in 2009.
Approximately 85 percent of these funds were given through
over 750 grants to churches and Christian organizations,
and nearly 550 scholarships to individuals. The remaining
14.9 percent, or $885,131, was used to administer this work
through an international team of 11 staff located in seven
countries around the globe.
The remainder of the Foundation’s giving was channeled
through a collection of other giving programs. The Harvey
Fellows Program grew significantly in 2009 due to the
selection of 18 new fellows and restructuring of payments
to more closely follow most academic calendars. Our
Theological Education scholarships increased slightly over
2008 in continued support of students pursuing theological
degrees where the Church continues to experience the
greatest growth globally. Our scholarships to graduate
students at Bakke Graduate University also increased in
2009 as the school continues to grow and expand the
diversity of degrees offered. Our Theology of Work grant
program remained at a consistent level of funding from the
previous year while broadening the geographic regions of
granting. Together these initiatives represent over 30 percent,
or $1,888,857, of our 2009 expenditures.
Providing seed funding for small startup projects of churches
and Christian organizations around the world remains the
primary giving area of the Foundation. Over 53 percent,
or $3,155,752, of total operating expenditures was given
through grants primarily to local churches in major urban
centers worldwide. There was noteworthy decline in our
average grant award to approximately $4,400 from our
historical average of around $5,000.

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.
>cY^k^YjVah>c8dbbjc^in
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
)qlll#bh[Yc#dg\
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.
HbVaa7Z\^cc^c\h
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.

As our name implies, the Mustard Seed Foundation provides
seed funding for small startup projects of churches and
Christian organizations around the world. We seek to partner
with local 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 ministries.
Mustard Seed seeks to help launch projects through its
grants 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 primary indicators
of the priority and integrity of a particular project and key
to its long-term sustainability. All of the funds given as grants
are matched by funds from local churches connected to
the projects.
The Foundation recognizes the unique challenges and
opportunities faced by urban churches. As the world rapidly
urbanizes, we believe that investing in churches located
in large cities to be particularly strategic. Therefore, the
Foundation awards most grants in the largest urban centers
of the world.

Tollef A. Bakke Memorial Award
Each year the Mustard Seed Foundation designates one grant
award as a special tribute to the life of one of our founding
Board members. Tollef A. Bakke was a second generation
Norwegian immigrant to the United States who lived and
worked in the Pacific Northwest, Colorado and Alaska. He
also participated in a trip to the Holy Land that profoundly
influenced his faith. We highlight a project from these regions
in honor of him.
We recognize the grant award to Talbia Evangelical Church
in Giza, Egypt as our 2009 Tollef A. Bakke Memorial Award.
This award was a $3,500 grant matching local church support
to help establish a Christian preschool and counseling center
with a focus on disabled children in greater Cairo.

Heidi Boutros – JD, Human Trafficking

Amos Tai – PhD, Environmental Science

Harvard University
The Foundation initiated the Harvey Fellows Program
in 1992. The goal of the program is to mark, equip, and
encourage followers of Jesus Christ who seek to actively
integrate their faith and vocations as leaders in strategic
occupations where Christians appear to be underrepresented.
This idea grew from our understanding of God as Creator
and Redeemer, not only of human beings, but also of society’s
disciplines and structures. Our desire is to identify, prepare,
and celebrate this generation’s Josephs, Lydias, Daniels,
and Esthers — Christians who will assume positions of
leadership and influence in society. The Harvey Fellowship
is a stipend of $16,000 that may be renewed for up to
two additional years. The competitive award is given to
outstanding students enrolled at premier graduate degree
programs. Harvey Fellows typically attend schools considered
by professionals to be among the top five globally in a given
subject area or specialty.
A significant component of the program is participation
in a weeklong summer program that provides a forum for
discussion on integrating faith and vocation. The Summer
Institute is a place for Fellows to meet and build relationships
with others with similar visions. The Foundation believes this
occasion is vital for the marking and equipping of Fellows.
While there was no Summer Institute held in 2009, one will
be held in Washington, DC in 2010.
In 2009 the Foundation invested $994,500 in support of 85
graduate students preparing to enter strategic ministry in
academia, the arts, and the marketplace. We were privileged
to award 18 new fellowships to an extraordinary group of
graduate students representing a variety of nationalities and
preparing for vocations in diverse fields.

Arab Baptist Theological Seminary
Beirut, LEBANON
The Theological Education Scholarship Program was
started in 1999 to support students pursuing advanced
theological training outside of the United States and
Canada. Scholarships are awarded for up to half of the total
cost of education. Qualifying students must be attending
a participating institution and receiving a significant level
of financial support from their home church or Christian
organization. Recipients must be pursuing degrees that equip
them for service to the Church in the areas of preaching,
teaching, missions, or evangelism. However, priority is given
to those who are being trained to directly minister in a
church congregation or preparing for ministry in urban areas.
The scholarships are administered in direct collaboration
with participating institutions that are biblically orthodox,
interdenominational and strategic.
In 2009 we invested a total of $300,000 to 374 students to
enable them to continue their education at 46 institutions
around the world. While this amount is more than awarded
in 2008, it continued to be much less than in previous years in
large part due to a decrease in the Foundation’s overall giving.
However, Mustard Seed remains committed to encouraging
global theological education through scholarships to
promising seminarians.

Since 2005 the Mustard Seed Foundation has provided
scholarships to students at Bakke Graduate University
(BGU) based in Seattle, Washington. These scholarships
focus on encouraging ministry practitioners to obtain
advanced degrees to deepen the theological basis of their
work and ministry. Most of those supported are pursuing the
Doctorate of Ministry (DMin) degree in Transformational
Leadership for the Global City that is offered through
BGU on a non-residential, modular basis. The Foundation
also supported a handful of students pursuing a Master of
Theological Studies (MTS), Master of Arts of Social and
Civic Entrepreneurship (MASCE) or a Master of Business
Administration (MBA). Scholarships are awarded in
honor of Dr. Raymond J. Bakke, Dr. Lowell Bakke, Mrs.
Marilyn Bakke Pearson and Mr. Dennis W. Bakke who have
contributed significantly to the ministry of the Mustard Seed
Foundation and formation of Bakke Graduate University.
In 2009 we were pleased to award scholarships through BGU
for the advanced studies of 87 ministry practitioners totaling
$300,000. These talented men and women come from and
serve in a variety of urban centers around the world where
they are actively responding to God’s calling in ministry.

Theology of Work class in
Port-au-Prince, HAITI
The Theology of Work (TOW) grant program was
established in 2007 by the Mustard Seed Foundation in
collaboration with the Bakke Graduate University (BGU).
The aim of this special grant initiative is to enable theological
institutions and training organizations worldwide to
instruct seminarians, pastors, and educators in a biblical
basis of a theology of work. This theological understanding
empowers ordinary people to infuse their Christian faith
in the institutions, structures, and industries in which they
work throughout the week. It is our desire to see those
trained through our grants begin teaching and modeling this
theological concept in their own churches and ministries.
Theology of Work grants are awarded to theological
institutions, both formal and non-formal, to create and offer
courses that teach students a theology of work to enable them
to teach others. The institutions are encouraged to integrate
this theology into their core curriculum to continue to teach
the course after the grant-funded classes are completed. The
TOW grants program is administered by BGU, which fosters
a network of people and resources specializing in developing
and teaching curriculum for theology of work.
In 2009 we awarded 36 grants totaling $294,357 to
seminaries and ministries worldwide in hopes that through
them churches will teach and encourage their congregants
to actively minister through their work.
