The Mustard Seed Mission (MSM) has been providing shelter and occupational training for homeless street boys since 1960. It all started when Mrs. Lillian Dickinson, a missionary, visited Hualien and saw that the homeless children there were without education or opportunity. She felt that these children, just like the unpolished marbles of Hualien, were brimming with potential that could be unlocked if they were given the love and care that they so desperately need. As a result of Mrs. Dickinson’s spirits, MSM continues to provide caring shelters for teenagers who live in dysfunctional families in Hualien today.
