Mission Ministry

Home Of Love Orphanage

God has something planned for the Home of Love Orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia! In the words spoken to our church by Vanny, the orphanage director, he shares: “Thank you for your good work and time to help us. I really appreciate your generous hearts, love and prayers for the children.”

Towards the end of March, Friends of YWAM Cambodia sent a letter to the church congregation asking for financial help to repair a dilapidated roof and other items in poor condition at the orphanage. As a group we are humbled and grateful for the generosity of this congregation and others. The reconstruction will add comfort, safety, and privacy for the children. Because of your charitable donations, plans can include updates to a bathroom to make it handicap accessible for a young girl who lives there.

Our group celebrates with all of you our partnership with the YWAM ministry in Battambang, Cambodia. This is an expansive mission field, well worth supporting. Without the help and leadership of the YWAM director Garth Gustafson and his heart for the Cambodian people, this entire venture would not have come to fruition. We thank him immensely for the communication between Vanny, the orphanage director, and our group to keep the vision alive to help these children. We are grateful to have been in this part of the world and in a place that our church has supported. At the time we did not know why we as a group were called to serve in Cambodia. But as time and circumstances unfolded, God placed on our hearts to help the children at this orphanage. Thank you for being a part of God’s plan. Stay tuned for updates and pictures of the completed projects!

Sincerely,

Davis Students Get Good News Delivered

Pastor Alex Rule and a member of the Mission Ministry Team (MMT) had the pleasure of delivering two boxes of donated Bibles to Lynne Greene, Librarian at Davis High School in March. Pastor Alex had been contacted by Lynne to see if Grace of Christ might be interested in donating some Bibles for student use. Pastor Alex’s response, “How many Bibles would you like and how soon would you like them? Yes, Grace of Christ would love to supply you with Bibles!”

Two boxes of Bibles “God’s Good News” in various translations (NIV, King James, and Bilingual – English/Spanish) were delivered. Lynne was very happy to receive the Bibles and expressed her gratitude for the delivery. She was especially pleased when she found the English/Spanish translation.

Lynne asked if the team would be okay, if the Bibles were given away to students. The team’s response, “A resounding YES! Give them to the students.”

One of the donated Bibles had the owner’s name embossed in gold on the front cover. When asked, the son who had donated it said, “This was my Mother’s Bible, she wouldn’t want it to be stored away in memory of her. Mom would love to know that it was being used by someone, especially a young person, who might not know this Jesus whom Mom loved. This would make Mom very happy!”

As the team that delivered the Bibles found out, God is mightily at work on the Davis campus. Lynne and three other individuals (two other staff members and a local citizen) meet every Tuesday morning and walk around the entire Davis campus praying for the staff and students.

Lynne further explained that the Davis library is one of the largest school libraries in the state (based on the number of books). The MMT was given a brief tour of the administrative offices at Davis and introduced to various counselors and key individuals.

Grace of Christ has been praying for an opportunity to develop a relationship with Davis High School similar to that of Adams Elementary. This is a first step in developing that relationship with Davis which is only a block away from our church. AMEN and HALLELUJAH!

Your Assignment is to PRAY for the staff and students at Davis High School specifically, and staff and students at schools in general. It is an extremely difficult time to be on staff at a school and it has never been more challenging to be a student.

Would Grace of Christ be interested in donating some Bibles for student use? –
