Welcome to MUSTARD SEED SONGS
Mustard Seed Songs was formed in 1999 and is centred on songs composed by Ken Shearsmith. Money raised from CD sales and concerts support young people who take time off from their studies to work voluntarily in the developing world.
Ken is a PE teacher and would be the first to admit that he cannot play a musical instrument, read music and that his singing is fit only for the bath, however God has inspired him to write over two hundred songs which have featured on eleven CDs, in numerous concerts and in two musical productions, His Story and Risen!The Musical.
His Story performed at venues such as the Kings Theatre in Southsea, Portsmouth and Central Hall in Westminster, London. www.Hisstory.org.uk
Risen!- The Musical is Mustard Seeds current and most exciting project - all information including tickets for the latest production can be found via www.risenthemusical.com
Mustard Seed Songs have had for a long time a close association with the Crusade for Worldwide Revival (CWR), publishers of Every Day With Jesus; one of the most popular daily Bible-reading tools in the world. To promote the 40th anniversary of Every Day With Jesus, CWR attached a mini Mustard Seed Songs’ CD to 100,000 copies of the celebratory edition. CWR have also distributed 5 CDs produced by Mustard Seed Songs and have featured its music on 7 of their own devotional CDs - Inspirational Readings.
In addition charity Release International, supporters of the Persecuted Church, have distributed two more Mustard Seed Songs’ CDs - Lift Your Hearts to Heavenly Places and For Unsung Heroes. It was Release International that sponsored His Story for the London Pentecost Festival held at Central Hall in Westminster, London.
