| Mission Teams |
In Mark 16:15, Jesus said, “Go into all the WORLD and proclaim the good news to all creation.” Sharing the love of Christ with a world in great need—this is central to the mission of Grace Church. The task is overwhelming, but we are not called to do it all. We are to join hands with believers around the world who take Jesus’ words seriously. Grace currently supports full-time missionaries in several parts of the world and is sending out a growing number of short-term teams each year.
Our current focus is on developing and sending missionaries to places where people have yet to hear the Good News of the Gospel. We seek to establish close working relationships with our missionaries and partner with them in the task of reaching the least-reached for Christ.
We also have a desire to involve as many Grace attendees as possible in short-term missions trips, so that we can all grow in our understanding of different cultures and our love and concern for those who do not know Christ, in all parts of the world.
Grace currently has sent missionaries to Lesotho, Mercy Ships and to the YWAM (Youth With a Mission) base in Australia. There are currently teams scheduled to go to Mexico, Lesotho, Cuba, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
HAITI MISSION TRIP #5 – Construction and Medical
Open to all individuals, and specifically calling on medical personnel… Our final Haiti Mission Trip in 2009 is November 14-21, 2009 and will focus on finishing the construction and providing medical care to the community. We need medical professionals and helpers. The cost has not yet been set, but will likely be around $800, depending on fluctuations in airfare. Please contact Paul Emery (pemery@gracefl.org), or Emily Yates (eyates@gracefl.org) for more information. The Missions Office telephone number is (352) 332-8770, x 19.
UPDATE:
NICARAGUA MISSION TRIP – Dental
The team, led by Mark Davis, traveled to Nicaragua during the week of June 20-27, 2009. During their time in Nicaragua, they focused on providing dental care and sharing the love of Jesus with those they helped.
