At Grace, we believe that the love of God is a message that should impact our community. But it is also a message that should impact our world -- and God intends that each of us should be involved in that. Because of this, Grace is heavily involved in missions around the world in a variety of ways.
During the early part of each year, we hold a "Missions Weekend." During this weekend, we host at least two visiting missionaries and plan several events to get to know them better. As we hear from them, we get a better picture of what God is doing in other countries and in different cultures. This understanding helps us to pray and to give better.
In addition, at least one team of people leaves our church each year for a short-term mission trip -- working on the field with one of our missionaries. In 2008, a team will be going to Mexico (March 29-April 5) and other trips are still being planned.
As a church, we pool our monies to help substantially support more than 18 missionaries and mission organizations ministering all over the world. Get a vision of their fields from the blogs and other links below.
