Giving national pastors the tools they need to minister to their own people is a top priority at GraceWorks. Not only can these pastors minister to those we will never meet, but they can also minister more effectively, as fellow members of their community and culture. However, very few have the training they need in even the most basic doctrines. Many, in fact, don’t own a Bible from which to teach! Our goal is to provide basic doctrinal training (and Bibles when possible) to enable pastors around the globe to teach and evangelize their own communities.

People cannot listen to the gospel when they are struggling with hunger, thirst, or illness. As Jesus first met the needs of those He served, we also endeavor to meet every physical need within our ability. This often means supplying food and safe drinking water to communities and individuals. The gospel is shared with each person who receives humanitarian aid and, as with our children’s program, follow-up and discipleship is then entrusted to our trained pastors and leaders.

Having completed training, local pastors are now more equipped to disciple new believers and evangelize their communities. GraceWorks Global jumpstarts that effort by holding programs for children during our time “In-Country”. Through games, food, crafts, and Bible stories, we present the gospel to children, bringing little ones (and their families) to Jesus then turning over the follow-up and discipleship to our trained church leaders.
