R.E.A.C.H = Restoring, Equipping and Cultivating Hope
"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:14-17 (NIV)
R.E.A.C.H
Grace International Missions goal is to R.E.A.C.H out to those in need.
R - RESTORE
Grace International Missions services are intended to restore the immediate and desperate needs of families or individuals during crisis. Our desire is to assist families struggling with unemployment or under-employment, serious illnesses, or any other critical needs. We seek to provide help through monetary aid such housing support to prevent homelessness, immediate medical payment assistance and other situations that jeopardizes a family’s stability.
E - EQUIP
Grace International Missions wants to equip and provide ongoing support to families or individuals even after the crisis has passed, especially to the most vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly. We understand that if we can assist children get daily nutritional needs and an education this can set them up for success in the future.
A - AND
The bridge between hopelessness to peace.
C H - CULTIVATE HOPE
Grace International Missions understands that when there is no hope in a person’s life they feel as if they have no future. But once you restore and equip a family or an individual after a crisis, hope starts to spring up for the future. Our desire is to cultivate a hope that transforms people’s lives from hopelessness to peace through partnership with similar organizations and/or mentors to cultivate growth and stability for restored people. An enduring hope that grows and sustains families even during the difficult times.
It is beautifully stated in the book of Romans 5:1-6 (NLT) “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners”
