Grace Church Missions Strategy
Purpose Statement: The purpose of the Grace Church Missions Ministry is to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ locally and abroad through the encouragement and support of believers carrying out the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
The Strategic Focus of our Missions Ministry is evangelism and discipleship, both locally and around the world. Our primary desire is to support church-planting missionaries. The process we seek to follow is one that has proven most effective since the first century.
- God-called men and women with a passion for evangelism and discipleship are sent to a region in need of a gospel witness.
- People are won to Christ and discipled and a Bible-believing, New Testament church is planted.
- Men with a hunger for the Word of God and leadership abilities are mentored and trained for ministry.
- These men, once trained, are commissioned and sent out as church-planting pastors to start more churches.
- Eventually, a Bible College and Seminary are started to formally train and equip nationals for church -planting ministries.
- Within a generation, Lord willing, an area that had little if any gospel witness will be populated with thriving, New Testament churches.
Our Region of Intense Focus
We believe God has given us a very unique opportunity to have a dynamic impact in a specific foreign field–Peru. Pastor Phil and Bonnie are career missionaries in Peru and know the language fluently and are at home in the culture.
This past year God provided the funds to purchase a permanent base of operations in Peru for what will become known as The Bridge. From this base we can operate a growing and expanding mission ministry in the Lima area and in the entire country of Peru. Missionaries Greg and Sherry Davidson serve as our point team for ministry in Peru.
During the next several years we will seek increasing opportunities to train and deploy our own people in both short-term and long-term ministries in Peru.
