In this post I will continue to focus on a woman named Lillian Ruth LeVesconte Dickson. She lived from 1901 - 1983. During her time in Taiwan, Lillian developed a Boy's Home for young boys who were caught in committing petty crimes.She also helped parents who had children out of wedlock which was marked on their certificates of identification. Due to the social stigma against these kind of families, children were considered illegitimate and denied access to school and the parents had difficulty finding work.Lillian helped the parents find work and the children gain access to school

Lillian also founded the interdenominational Mustard See International and the Mustard See Mission to support her missionary work. She helped establish kindergartens, elementary, middle and high schools. Furthermore, her work has led to Bible College and Seminary training for pastors, lay leaders and church planting teams.

Lillian died in 1983.
