How and Why
Grace Mission's Philosophy of Ministry
Have you ever wondered how we will
ever reach the world with the gospel at the present rate and cost of sending
North Americans to foreign fields? Is God shorthanded when He looks at
Christians in other lands? Is there no one available from those lands to do the
job?
Paul Romeus in Haiti and Azael
Lopez and Ciro Perez in Mexico:

How You Can Help Increase
Their Impact
- Pray
- These men face the
daily struggles of religious opposition, government harassment,
discouragement, financial stress and divisive forces. Pray that doors of
opportunity for the gospel would be open to them.``
- Short Term Teams
-Your
presence on the field brings great encouragement and help. Work teams from
North America help in construction and outreaches. They pay their own
expenses through churches, relatives, friends and personal finances. They
may also raise funds for the project they are involved in.
- Church Planting and Sister
Churches - Your church could be eternally blessed by taking
responsibility for a foreign sister church by: communication with, prayer
for, financial support of and team involvement. Or your church or group of
churches could invest in planting a new church by using these same methods.
- Financial Resources
- People
in Haiti and Mexico are some of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. Grace
Missions desire is that the national church does all it is able to do on
it's own. They are able to help support their pastor, provide workers,
building materials or carry water for concrete. This involvement makes their
church special because their own hard work made it happen. However, when the
average family income per year may only be $400.00 it is difficult to
support a pastor and buy the needed supplies for church construction. The
following are some ways that Grace Mission gets involved.
