The Mustard Tree Ministry Testimonials

"There are tens of thousands of children suffering in Zambia. As a group, none more than those with disabilities. Barbara Lund's ministry to deaf children is a critical part of God's outreach to the orphans of Zambia. We must pray for this work, and support it in every way we are able. God desires to lavish His love upon these little ones; to help them discover His caring for them, to raise them as fulfilled and productive adults, and to bring them into the security of the Body of Christ. We are grateful that the Lord has brought his work to Zambia."

Benedict Schwartz, CEO, All Kids Can Learn International, Inc.

"I can describe Barbara Lund of The Mustard Tree Ministries (MTMI), as the Mother Teresa of Zambia. When I traveled with Barbara to Zambia it was life changing to see all of the orphans impacted by MTMI. To see all of the ground work that has been completed and planned for future growth, from school building to the houses and the farm. I saw orphans that were on the street with no hope, no food and no education, basically thrown away. Then MTMI steps in, feeds them, houses them and educates them. MTMI gives them a shot at life, on these kids would not have has without Barbara and Mustard Tree Ministries."

Chris Henderson, Foundation Pastor, New Day Foursquare

"Barbara Lund has become a dear friend of our ministry, and so it is a great pleasure for us to recommend her to the body of Christ. She not only has a heart for Africa and the world, but the Lord's vision for transforming Africa has so overcome her...that she virtually eats, sleeps and breathes this consuming call. The integrity of Barbara and the board at Mustard Tree is exemplary, and provides a model for all those who aspire to mission work around the world.

We frequently travel internationally, ministering to leaders and their teams, and so we are always looking for successful ministries to thirdworld nations, that often, well meaning individuals or ministries don't have the resources or energies to make much of a dent in the enormouous needs of the African continent on their own. Often, because of lack of information regarding true needs, wrong or corrupt connections, or excessive administration...sadly...their giving becomes a futile, rather than a fruitful endeavor. there is a solution...and that is in learning to wisely give to proven ministries, with a solid track record.

If you as an individual or ministry are looking for a viable means to touch the poor, the widows and the orphans, then we can unreservedly testify that Mustard Tree ministries is truly transforming the face of Zambia as well as many other nations. They are proven, and they are a reality. We've seen that lives are being touched with the gospel, converts are actually being educated and widows are becoming empowered to start businesses. These precious souls are truly being fed in spirit, soul and body. thank Barbara, and the team at Mustard Tree for your friendship and your heroic efforts to save a continent!"

Kim and Mary Anderson, Christ the Rock Ministries of Northern California

"Mustard Tree Ministries is showing God's loving compassion to thousands of children and families in Zambia. Barbara Lund travels deep into the far reaches of Zambia to minister to the needy with a particular heart for deaf orphans. Thank God for his call on her life."

Robert Smith, Founder and President, Agathos Foundation International

"Barbara Lund, (Momma "B" as she is called in Africa), is one of the most passionate persons I have ever met. She is filled with zeal for people, especially for Africans. The only thing that surpasses her zeal is her love. Time and again my African friends who have met her have commended how they felt so loved and cared for by her. That's because she identifies with them; in their pain and suffering, in their hunger and sickness, and in their need for Jesus. She lives with them, walks with them, eats with them, and carries a genuine concern for them. She is an example of what a life can be when one depends wholly on the Holy Spirit. For Momma B, every day is new and every day is for one purpose; it is for the service of King Jesus. And for this she gives herself tirelessly; to the hungry and oppressed, to anyone who asks not requiring anything in return. Every dollar donated goes directly to the field. She feeds the poor, provides for self sustaining ministries, plants churches, and preaches the gospel with power. By the grace of God, she stewards with precision the work that the Lord Jesus has placed in her care. Nothing is wasted and everything is covered in prayer. She makes the most out of everything she touches. It's truly incredible. It is the Lord. I am blessed and challenged and privileged to know, Momma B.
