New Direction Mustard Seed – a non-profit organization

Founded in 1996 as a 501c3, our mission has been focused on restoration of single parent families. Since 1996, a faith based ministry, New Direction has offered professional Christian counseling and also ran a therapeutic boarding school for teenagers, most of whom were being raised by single mothers. New Direction was able to walk with these families, oftentimes assisting with financial needs beyond counseling and schooling. Over 300 youth, most of whose families were unable to pay, lived on New Direction Farm in Madison County NC.

Dear Friends

This beautiful piece of artwork was given to me a few years back as a gift by the artist. I was so taken by the powerful image of Jesus as the Lamb of God/ the Lion of Judah. As of late, due to a dark season we have been walking through with a few of the mothers of the Mustard Seed, I have found myself many times a day, glancing over to this piece of artwork. It is a needed and true reminder of Jesus in the midst of the spiritual war as the Victorious One.

OUR MISSION

We believe we are called to walk extensively and intensively with single mothers whom the Lord has commissioned us. This is a collaborative effort: The Lord will faithfully fulfill His part 100%; we are faithful to do our part; the single mothers must do their part. We have experienced this formula to be 100% successful. Those who have been trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty and victimization become incrementally set free spiritually, emotionally, financially, and relationally as they step forward trusting the Lord. Bit by bit lies from which they have operated are replaced with the truth. We are a relational ministry. The extensive work may last 2-3 years. It is a kingdom investment into the lives of these mothers and children.
