This thesis, titled "Little Seeds: A prototype of collaborative-integrated, missional-diaconal praxis," explores the potential of collaboration between the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) and church-affiliated social welfare organisations to mitigate poverty and address other complex social problems. Over the past two decades, missional theology has gradually transformed the ecclesiological landscape of the DRC. The study aims to address the need to rethink diaconal theology and ministry as an embodiment of the missional nature and calling of the DRC. The research employed a qualitative approach towards missional transformation research, using a biographical case study of "Little Seeds" and a supporting literature review. Semi-structured interviews were utilised. Findings resulted in the development of the "Scaling Diaconate Model," which serves as a framework for collaborative-integrated, missional-diaconal praxis. The model assists an interdisciplinary approach where each discipline departs from a position of strength, using polarity management techniques towards collective impact.
