About Us
The Church of the American Ceylon Mission has roots in the work of
early missionaries in the Jaffna peninsula of Sri Lanka from 1813 onward.
These were missionaries sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions(ABCFM), the predecessor body of UCC mission that celebrates over 200 years of
global mission, and a predecessor body of todayβs Global Ministries.
Planting good seed with hope
During Jesus' time, mustard plants were commonly found, growing up to about 30 feet tall. Mustard seeds are known to sprout easily when planted in the soil. Scientific studies confirm that mustard seeds are among the smallest, yet they grow into large trees that provide shelter for birds. Similarly, Jesus described the Kingdom of God as starting small but growing into something vast and significant. This beautiful analogy is found in Matthew 13:18-19, Mark 4:30-32, & Luke 13:18-19.
