March 18 - 30: Uganda - Church Planting/Evangelism: ($3,000) Pastor John Dix
Grace Church of Glendora will play a key role in the development and growth of the local church in Africa in March 2010. As you may know, people in this region live in a reality poisoned by disease, drought and financial devastation. What you may not know, however, is that though many Africans live within such a reality, the one thing they really want is hope. We will be partnering with Grace Bible Church in Colorado to bring true hope – the love of Christ - to people in Mbale, Uganda. We will reach out to the Mbale community through evangelism, evening crusades, Bible distribution and pastoral training.
April 4 - 17: Philippines - Medical Team: ($2,500) Gickee Ormeo
Medical professionals (doctors, nurses, EMTs, dentists, ophthalmologists/ optometrists, etc.) will serve thousands of families who need medical attention, ranging from minor surgeries, first aid, physical examinations, as well as health and sanitary training. More importantly, opportunities for evangelism are intentionally integrated in the program. Patients who are seen will not only receive medical assistance but will definitely hear the gospel.
Our team will hold clinics in two sites. The first week will be spent serving in a seminary that will be open for the public and is located in the suburbs of Metro Manila. During this time, our team will be staying at the Grace for Asia condominium, approximately an hour away from the seminary. The team will then fly to southern Philippines, and serve for the third time at the Grace Medical Clinic in Kihan, Saranggani.
April 16 - May 1: Philippines – Construction: ($2,000) Stan Smith
The existing church in CDO (Cagayan de Oro) was destroyed in January 2009, by flooding. This is a church plant that was established 5 years ago. GFA is going to go and help build a new worship building in a better location that is protected from flooding. We will be building from the ground up. The walls will be made of cement blocks, the roof, corrugated sheet metal, and the floor, concrete. We will be working alongside the local people to finish this project. A willingness to work is all that is required.
April 23 - May 8: Matalatala, Laguna, Philippines – Construction: ($2,000) Stan Smith
This is an existing church that is asking GFA to come and help finish the construction that they have already started. We will be installing floor tile, adding a front entryway, and building a small office for the Pastor. We will be working alongside the people there to finish this construction. A willingness to work is all that is required.
May 24 - June 4: Philippines - Street Children, Evangelism, Compassion: ($2,500) Pastor Gene Wood
We will work with "squatter" children along side a ministry established in Laguna, Philippines. There are thousands of children who live in shacks. The parents do not own the property where they reside, therefore the designation "squatters". In addition to immediate need for love, food, and medical care, these boys and girls need to hear of Christ's love while their hearts are tender. By the time they are young teenagers, many will find or be led to a life of crime and abuse. Love children? Want to make an immediate difference? This opportunity is for you.
