International Mission – “Because of Grace”

Last week, the headline question was “What’s New? What’s needed?”

Kurt delivered a compelling answer to “What’s Needed?” on March 2nd– an appropriate

understanding of how God’s grace given to us, leads to our wanting to share the news of

that grace around the world – next door, and outside our nation’s borders. (Missed his

message? Want to hear it again? Click the link for the March 2nd sermon at

gracechapelchurch.com)

“What’s New?” Today and March 16, we provide updates on work in India and Mexico.

Watch the Table, our website, and displays around our building also.

Today’s focus is the two distinct works in Mexico.

Evangelism and strengthening churches in Mexico is the work of our missionary

Victorino Calderon and his wife Silvia, thru the Kairos bible institute. We provide

financial support, prayer support, and participate in annual gatherings of many churches

and medical mission thru volunteers that act as our ambassadors by travelling to join

over 100 representatives of many churches, and celebrate the successes of each year,

including graduates of the intensive bible study program, new churches and the many

souls saved for eternity each year.

Evangelism and care for orphans at the children’s home Ciudad de Angeles, has Grace

Chapel’s involvement in multiple ways. We provide general funding, act as one of

several “anchor” congregations, and provide a member for the board of directors. Many

families at Grace Chapel participate additionally in the child sponsorship program with

their love, and their long-term commitment to financial support. Many more Grace

Chapel members and friends participate in annual weeklong trips to show God’s love to

the children under Ciudad’s permanent care, with time in spiritual study, social

connections, life skill development, and physical maintenance of the property.

Next week: India

March 23rd: our annual collection to fund all the international programs we support.

Our goal is $75,000 (five times our average weekly giving).
