Grace Missions International, Inc. has been privileged to see first hand God working through His people in countries where they suffer under oppressive governments, anti-Christian culture, extreme poverty, and economic systems that offer little or no hope.  In the midst of these circumstances, God’s remnant remains true and works diligently to evangelize their nation and disciple new believers.  Often our hearts are broken to see that the believers’ suffering could easily be relieved through apparently simple things like money, clothing, Bibles, training materials, medical supplies, and other basic humanitarian aid.  Unfortunately, either the countries or the political conditions do not permit these activities.

The members of the Christian remnant have a joy that surpasses their condition, circumstances, and politics – a joy that comes only through their personal relationship with Christ and living out that relationship.  They understand that we may not always be able to provide things to meet their basic needs.  They simply yearn for relationships with Christ’s body, the Church.  These relationships can evidence the body’s care and love for its members and provide a life-line of love and encouragement for these Christians, most of whom have not had any contact with Christians from outside their borders.

The Apostle Paul’s travels and epistles have come into clear focus for us; Paul cared deeply for the new churches and for their spiritual growth, and we strive to follow his example in Christ as we build long-term sister church and sister small group relationships between the body of Christ in the U.S. and the body of Christ in these countries.  The local pastors and missionaries need our experience, knowledge, and training in evangelism and discipleship.  But most of all they need a church-on church and pastor-on pastor relationship that will sustain them in difficult times.

GMI facilitates these relationships.  If God is calling you to investigate or participate in this mission activity, please contact us for further details.  Come and go with us to evangelize and make disciples in these nations.
