Missionary Christmas
The Bible is the story of God's passion to redeem the lost.
At GraceWay we believe His mission must be our mission and we must go to the lost, sharing the Good News of salvation in Christ. Global missions aspires to glorify God by mobilizing missionaries to live as Christ did: lovingly, and truthfully among the peoples of the earth. From Genesis to Revelation, we read the story of God’s love for man, and His incarnation, death, and resurrection to save us from our sins. Our goal is make disciples of Jesus Christ, teaching them to walk in obedience to Him and in fellowship with one another.
