CRU - Jesus Film Project 

Supported Since 1989

Tim & Carrie have served with CRU since 1981. In 2020, they joined the Jesus Film project which helps Christ followers around the world engage in the Great Commission and discipleship. Some of the ways they specifically help is with translation, film production, and mission trip facilitation.

Let’s Pray

• A large population in the region where we work is Hindu. We are helping organize a prayer event for the Hindu world - One Miracle Light on Friday, Nov. 6. We are inviting friends and partners to join us to pray specifically for Hindus, especially during the Diwali season they celebrate. If anyone is interested in joining, here is the registration link: One Miracle Light
• We are working with a partner in Northern India, who will broadcast the Jesus Film during Christmas.  Please pray for all the necessary permissions and for the follow-up of those who respond to a digital QR code for more information.
• Many countries we work with in Southeast/South Asia are planning digital campaigns for the Christmas season.  Please pray for wisdom, creativity, and the broad sowing of the Gospel - pray that we'd see fruit from these tools.
• Personally, will you please pray for Carrie's MRI on Nov. 3.  Her MS symptoms have been limited during these 26 years since her diagnosis.  She has been on a weekly injection since her diagnosis, which they believe has slowed the disease's progress. However, her doctor suggested it may be "safe" to stop the injection, but an MRI is necessary to track the MS progression.  Please pray that the disease has stopped progressing. Pray for wisdom to decide whether to continue or stop the medication.
• We really appreciate your prayers for us- Thank you! Pray that we walk in step with Jesus, that the Holy Spirit will draw our hearts (and our kids & grandkids) to Him, that we listen for His voice and are willing to surrender to Him.

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
