Agape Children’s Ministry
I went to Kenya in 2015 and fell in love with this ministry that Wendi Bowers originally brought to us. They are changing the shape and way of reaching runaway children in their country so much that other organizations are copying their model. Their model includes reintegration back into a healthy family member or village so that they don’t have to stay alone in an orphanage.
DCPI – Dynamic Church Planting International
This is one of the smallest ministries having the largest impact worldwide. It helps church planters get trained to start churches where God has planted them.
Free Wheelchair Mission
Giving someone a wheelchair who needs one is the simplest way to change a life. Over the years, Grace has helped raise thousands of people off the ground, and we hope to lift up many more.
Hope International
We have many business minds at Grace Fellowship, so it is safe to assume that people would love this idea of Microfinance. Small loans in 3rd world countries have a massive impact, and if the church is helping coordinate these loans, then the church becomes the hero as well, and God gets all the glory.
International Justice Mission
The IJM office in the Dominican Republic that we help start recently shut down. It shut down because it was successful in changing the government enforcement of laws. So they packed up and moved on into a different part of Latin America. We hope to expect this throughout the world as we continue to support an organization that helps the government have just laws and enforces them to suppress criminal activity.
Liebenzell USA
I met George via email the week before I was supposed to take off to Zambia to visit North Rise. In the email, I told him I couldn’t meet because I was going on a trip and he said “OK”. But God had us meet in Zambia at Northrise randomly and so I can’t help but think that God has something for us. Grace is currently supporting a mission activity that he helped set up in a remote part of Zambia that no one would ever think to support, except it’s been on George’s heart, and we are able to meet that need.
Samaritan’s Purse

The lovely Diane McCardle helps us run Operation Christmas Child every November, and you guys show up with hundreds of shoeboxes. What a tangible way to help children throughout the world meet Jesus! I once showed up in a poor village in Colombia, and they ran up to me and asked if I was the one who sent the shoeboxes. Doesn’t that tug at your heart?
The Timothy Initiative
I began supporting TTI a while back after we rally to plant 38 churches through our hung groups. I saw the power of supporting church grow throughout the world through small obedient steps. The church is Jesus‘s bride, and I can’t help but think that we need to do all we can to see it grow.
