Mustard Seed Ministries has joined hands with public service agencies across East Texas to form a consortium offering services of all kinds to American military personnel, active duty, veteran or National Guard personnel, who have served or are serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. The consortium offers serves for those in need of mental or physical help, those in financial hardship, and MSM's participation will include:

Providing technical equipment and services which will enable service personnel and their families to keep in touch while deployed and/or use our services to better navigate the maze of communications necessary to receive benefits and services for the entire family after active duty is completed. What does this really mean?

It means that all qualified families are eligible to receive a computer; fully loaded with software, and both modem or DSL ready. We will also offer internet connection with a local Tyler ISP at a discounted rate. With the computer comes training on how to use it for the entire family.  The equipment carries a lifetime warranty.

An added bonus is...

For families that are experiencing deployment separation - MSM is providing to all families a camcorder for video email! This means, FREE of CHARGE, any family may request a camcorder and use it with their AKO account to send free video eamil to their soldier ANYTIME/ANYWHERE!.

This video email sytem is also available to come to locations holding family support events. MSM provides all necessary equipment - all the soldier's family will need is their email address! MSM sends these message live from the event location!

Another added bonus...

The creation of a support website is now underway! This site will include links for finding help for housing, child care, rent, food, ulitilies, peer support groups, and MUCH MUCH MORE! All the sites will be tested for reliability before they are posted and COUPONS for discounts will also be on the site. Included will be a response link which will allow you to rate the site and its links.
