GLOBAL PARTNERS

Our intention at Grace is to partner strategically in hard areas of the world where we can live holistically, generously and serve as a catalyst for a movement of God’s church globally. Our goal is to encourage and build up the local cross-cultural workers/pastors so that they feel better equipped to send out their own cross-cultural workers.

HAITI

We serve alongside Iglese de la Grace (Grace Church) and Significance of One in Bercy, Haiti.

Chelo is the pastor of Iglese de la Grace and he is wife also run and teach at Institution Wini Garden. They began the school when they saw a need for good, affordable education in their community. Our short-term GO teams come to Bercy and spend time building relationships with the families that attend Chelo’s church as well as families in the village. We do this through medical clinics, kids club activities, discipleship, and building projects.

Significance of One is a ministry based out of Columbus and their main goal is to support local schools through child support. They desire to bring Christ centered education, nutrition, and health services as a way to support the work of local pastors and schools.  

We serve alongside Hearts for Haiti in the Croix de Bouquet town in Haiti. Lovely and Reginald are husband and wife who have built relationships with churches in and around Croix de Bouquet and they invest relationally with women and children in those areas.

Our teams partner with the Haitian team, to help women and their families know the heart of Christ. This is done through women’s studies, health and hygiene classes, sexuality, parenting, and bible studies. As they are able they spend time with women who are in the local prison and maternity hospital. They focus much of their time in these areas teaching on grace and forgiveness and assisting women as they transition from prison back into everyday life.

PHILADELPHIA

We serve at Momentum Urban Centers, a ministry of Momentum Ministry Partners. They offer unique life-on-life training sessions on how to start conversations, how to tell your story, and how to share your faith in simple and life giving ways. They also provide practical, easy-to-use evangelism tools that make engaging with others simple. They achieve this through a wide variety of “in-the-field” ministry you will experiences:

• Ministering to the homeless
• Participating in park and beach ministries
• Food distribution to families in need
• Children’s ministries
• Other peer-to-peer ministry opportunities

The staff at the center aim to work with groups specifically on how their time in Philly can train them for specific community needs when they return to their own communities. Andy Michael, Director of the Urban Center, and the staff have created a new model, called Care, Share, Challenge. “The idea being we need to Care by spending time with people, Share by intentionally bringing up God in conversation, and Challenge by inviting people to take the next step toward Jesus,” Andy explained.

MEXICO

John and Rachel Reaser have designed Shoulder to Shoulder to come along side local gospel centered churches in the Mazatlan area; to mentor and equip pastors and church leaders; and to equip and empower these leaders and churches to practically and effectively to become salt and light in their regions of influence.

GO Teams that travel to Mazatlan Mexico work alongside our partner Shoulder to Shoulder. Teams that participate could be engaged in a variety of relational activities included light to intensive construction projects; discipleship and outreach opportunities for children, youth or adults; and ways to deepen the church’s footprint in their community. Each activity is strategically designed to work along side and equip the local church body as they strive to impact their community for Jesus.
