“I want you
to get out there and walk…. Better yet run! -- on the road God called
you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. ……
And mark that you do this with humility and discipline, not in fits and
starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in act of
love."
Ephesians 4:1-3 (The Message)
Grace is in ACTION throughout our community and the world.
The apostle Paul commanded us to pour out ourselves in acts of love.
New
Missions Outreach in the Appalachian Region
Appalachian Regional
Ministry is an intentional missions
response to the spiritual and physical needs of persons living in the
Appalachian region. Our church will partner with churches and
ministries in Virginia and Tennessee to provide supplies, to evangelize the lost, to
assist existing churches and to start new churches in the Appalachian
Region.
Grace
will work directly with churches in Wythville and Bossevain, VA and Washburn,
TN to share the Love of Christ. We’ll be supplying food, school supplies, dental
supplies and much more. In the future we
desire to send teams to work with local churches. Through these teams we hope
to do construction projects, teach bible studies, distribute food and clothing
or assist with the dental clinics. These would be great opportunities for
families, small groups or youth groups to go on a short-term missions trip. We
will be doing an Easter Offering to support this project. For information
contact missions@gracehome.org
Through langauge study we seek to provide practical
assistance to our international community while offering an opportunity
to share the Gospel message. Classes meet Wednesdays at 7:00pm.
Volunteers who would like to serve as conversation partners are always
needed.
