Who We Are

The Mustard Touch Foundation

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."

The Mustard Touch Foundation is a Kenya-registered nonprofit organisation founded in Nairobi in 2014. We exist to give institutional form to the bishop-maker calling — the Spirit-led ministry of building leaders, forming institutions, and investing in the people that the visible church has not yet seen.

Our name carries a theology. The Mustard Touch is what happens when a leader sees what God placed in a person before that person can see it in themselves — and does something about it. Specific, intentional, Spirit-led. A touch that changes the trajectory of a life.

Three programme streams express this conviction: Spirit-Led Steward Leadership formation for ministry leaders, Care of Orphans for vulnerable children, and The Shepherd’s Rest — a pastoral sabbatical programme for the village and rural pastors who have given everything and have never been given a week back.

“The tree that grows from the smallest seed does not grow because the planter was impressive. It grows because the soil was prepared, the seed was planted, the root was tended, and the One who makes things grow did what only He can do.”
