Missions
Jesus commanded us, as we’re going through life, regardless of where that is, to make disciples. He promised us that the Holy Spirit would empower us to be His witnesses, whether in our neighborhood or in the nations. Missions are important because it’s one practical way we can obey what Jesus has called us to do!
Israel
Grace Chapel is partnering with Christ Church, the oldest Protestant church in Israel, located in the Old City, Jerusalem. Scan the QR code to donate to the Mercy Fund, the humanitarian aid ministry of Christ Church. The Mercy Fund is providing food, medical, hygiene, and educational resources to the thousands who are displaced. Presently they are helping children and the elderly near Gaza, in Bethlehem, and in Jerusalem.
India
Through Grace Chapel’s partnership with Lamuel Victor in India, we were able to help them, make improvements to two houses of prayer, where they meet and teach the Gospel. Funds were used, to build a kitchen, to help feed poor children and families in the slums, who have been struggling, due to Covid - 19.
Haiti
Through our partnership with New Hope Mission International, you've provided resources to the seven New Hope pastors we work with so they could meet pressing needs of children, families, and the elderly, in their community, while the country was locked down due to Covid 19.
Dominican Republic
Since 2011, Josiah’s House in the Dominican Republic, has rescued orphans and abused children off the streets, provided education and a safe Christian environment to grow, and two areas in the Dominican Republic. Julio Valdez, the director, and Grace Chapel missionary Donna Boone, serve full time with children, and now young adults raised in these homes to give them a hope for the future. We’ve helped Julio meet special needs that fall outside their monthly budget, like celebrating birthdays, and honoring the staff and house parent. Grace Chapel teams have helped with the construction needs at Josiah’s House and, provide training to the wonderful caregivers who are called to be house parents.
Hands of grace
Your giving will empower leaders in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, India, and Mexico to be a blessing to those they serve, by providing resources to purchase what their greatest needs are: personal hygiene supplies, undergarments, educational support, and food.
