The Mustard Seed Ministry began as a faith-based ministry in 2010. It was founded by Sue Garard and originally focused primarily on the spiritual and practical needs of women in crisis. She was especially committed to single moms and pregnant teens. Since then The Mustard Seed Ministry has branched out to encompass compatible ministry opportunities.

Vision For Haiti began in 2016 when pastor Al Garard was introduced to a young couple who were ministering in Haiti through Baptist Haiti Mission.  His interest in their ministry led him to visit Haiti on several occasions. During his visits he learned of several critical issues facing churches in Haiti.  As he evaluated what he learned, it became clear that the greatest need was for qualified and properly trained men. There are  Seminaries, Bible Colleges, and Institutes in the larger cities, yet they are often inaccessible to many pastors throughout Haiti.   While Al and his brother Mark were there seeking to know what God would have them do, a number of  men reached out to them.  They asked if they would be willing to come alongside them and mentor them to become more effective ministers of God’s word.  Collaborating together, they developed a program of biblical and theological study designed to equip them in both pulpit and practical ministry.  They realized the best way to implement this program was through live streaming. Since beginning the mentorship program, the opportunity to help others has expanded greatly and far exceeds their resources, including the opportunity to teach and mentor many more Haitian men who are already participating in Bible training programs in Haiti.  They are currently developing a more complete pilot program with a view toward involving other pastors and qualified teachers who can partner with them to fulfill their Vision For Haiti.
