| Below you will find an update from GEM (Greater Europe Mission) regarding their efforts with refugees from Ukraine as of 03.17.22. One of our members, Debby Chasteen, serves with this fine organization. Please see Debby for more information or contact the church office. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It’s been 21 days since Putin invaded Ukraine. For 21 days we’ve watched in awe as the European Church has become the hands and feet of Jesus. During this time, GEM has had the privilege of coming alongside the local church to support those efforts. While our Ukraine task-force is uncovering new opportunities weekly, I wanted to share two specific ways our GEM workers have been able to serve on the ground. First, I’d invite you to read an eyewitness account from one of our missionaries that just spent 5 days in Romania. This team helped renovate a would-be retreat center to house incoming refugees. These two sites sat dormant for years because of Covid, but are now being opened to meet an immense and immediate need. Meanwhile, the Republic of Moldova has quietly taken on a huge load with over 300,000 refugees come across their borders. This is one of the smallest countries in Europe, with a population of only 2 million, and arguably the poorest nation in the EU. From the first day of this crisis, our partners on the ground were able to immediately identify real needs of several local churches in the area. Our team has been able to invest in suppling space heaters, washers and dryers, food, blankets, and more to 16 facilities. This Friday, we’ll have Dwight Poggemiller share more about this work at our prayer meeting. We’d love to have you join. We praise God for all he’s accomplished in only 21 days! Now, there’s so much more work to be done. God’s given us a vision beyond relief that ends with multiplying His Church across Europe. We will continue to need your help as we push into our 70-year-old mission to see Europeans fall in Love with Jesus. Thankful for your support, Sarah Robins, VP Greater Europe Mission P.S. A few practical ways to get involved with what God is doing in Europe: Pray for us daily, weekly, and join us on Fridays. Give so that we can continue to support this important work happening. |
Every Word Bible Challenge
The goal of this challenge is that, as a church, we would be intentionally and consistently feasting on “every word” from God. We want to be a church of scripture-saturated people, that we might know the word of God and so love the God of the word all the more! So we invite you to join with other members of Grace Church and participate in the “Every Word” Bible Challenge.
If you already have a bible reading plan that’s working for you, we encourage you to stick with that! However, if you’re not sure what your plan is or you find the idea of reading the bible with others in this church appealing, consider taking this “challenge” and inviting others from the church (especially your home group) to join you!
