Dwight & Ginny Sharp

Retired - New Tribes Mission

Supported Since 1973

Dwight & Ginny Sharp are now living at the Ethnos360 Homes for retired missionaries in Sanford, Florida. They have been encouraged to see how God provides for this community through faithful volunteers, while also seeing many ongoing needs. Each winter, many volunteers travel to the retirement village to serve. They help refurbish homes after residents move out, repair roads, complete electrical work, and provide many other essential services. Their volunteer labor helps keep housing costs affordable for retired missionaries. The Ethnos360 Homes also need year-round staff and volunteers with a variety of practical skills to serve this special community.

Let’s Pray

• Praise God for the faithful volunteers who serve at the Ethnos360 Homes each year
• Pray for health, strength, and wisdom for Dwight & Ginny as they serve in this new season of ministry
• Pray that God will provide additional year-round staff & skilled volunteers to meet the many ongoing needs
• Pray for the lessons being prepared for believers in Indonesia & the Philippines, that God will use them to strengthen His church
• Pray for opportunities for Dwight & Ginny to encourage retired missionaries and to serve effectively in their local church

Missions has been a part of our DNA from the very beginning!

1964 our first full time missionary was sent.

1966 we hosted our first missions conference.

Presently we support over 40 missionaries near and far. They include church planters, college campus ministries, international ministry, and training / discipling / mobilizing.

Who are our missionaries?

First of all we call our missionaries, "Global Partners". We consider our support of them a partnership, and we take it seriously! We pray for them continually and strive to keep in touch with them so that we can remain involved in their work. Their stories are amazing!

Grace Church Global Partners are young adults just heading out on the mission field. They are couples and families choosing to live in other countries to form relationships so they can share the gospel. They are individuals entrenched on college campuses. They are seasoned workers of God who have spent their whole lives in service to Him to share the love of Jesus and further His Kingdom. And they are people who live and work in their neighborhoods and churches to share the salvation of Jesus Christ in their own countries.

How do we support our missionaries?

No money is used from the operating budget of Grace Church to support our Global Partners.

The financial support for all our Global Partners comes directly from the generous family of Grace Church. Pledges are made in the fall of each year to help the GO Team oversee the yearly budget and make decisions on support.

Are there other ways Grace Church fulfills the command of  Matthew 28:19?                                                 YES! The GO Team supports
