They have faith in God's Sovereignty

Debbie Chase- Malawi:
Debbie serves in the Ekwendeni, Malawi as an administrator and lecturer at the University of Livingstonia, College of Theology, a seminary of the Synod of Livingstonia, which serves the northern region of Malawi. This is through its 130 congregations, 500 primary schools, 5 secondary schools and 3 hospitals through its development and relief work and evangelism programs. The Synod has only 105 ministers to serve the needs of 610,000 members and their communities, but this number is growing as the Theology School is graduating new ministers.
Rev. Dr. Arthur W. & Sue Kinsler- Korea:
Working in Missions since 1972, Art is retired but still preaches at Yonsei Univesity's global worship and the English or Korean worship services of Korean congregations.
Since 2003, Sue has visited North Korea. She now runs a program to feed thousands of young children in the North. She founded the lighthouse Foundation in 2004 which provides clothing and medicine for over 700 orphans. She has also helped found a Center for Disabled children in Korea. As dangerous as it is, Sue makes two trips yearly into North Korea.

Chaplain Joe Woods:
Chaplain at Tri-City Medial Center, Rev. Woods visits those who are churched of not. He also serves on the Ethics Committee which is responsible for the ethical and compassionate treatment or non-treatment of the critically ill and dying.
Pray that he will bring Christ's love and peace to all those he serves.
Pray that he seeks Christ's will in matters of ethics concerns.
Pray that he would be blessed with compassion, wisdom and discernment
Grace Church is exploring the possibility of starting a community garden here. There are a few folks who are exploring this idea and hoping to be able to begin the program in the spring planting season. This is still in the exploratory stages, but is a way that this church will enable those with need to help support themselves.
Pray for those exploring this possibility, that God will lead them to make the decisions that He would have us make
Pray that, if this is started, for those who will be planting and cultivating their own good, that they will be nourished by God's love as well as the food they eat from the garden.
Soup Kitchen and John Caulder
The ministry feeds the body and spirit and is lovingly administered by dedicated folks from this church and others. Our soup kitchen, with the direction of Bob Wilson, is open every Tuesday evening. The recipients are lovingly fed hand-prepared food and their spirits are lovingly fed by John Caulder. Many are in need of clothing and that is donated by the congregation and others and distributed at this time.
Pray that this ministry's participants know that Christ does care about them

Pray that this ministry will continue to thrive and serve those who are so much in need
Pray that the volunteers be blessed in their work.

Additionally, Grace Church participates in the annual CROP walk for which 25% of the proceeds go to Operation Hope.
Pray for the leadership of this shelter to have compassion, patience, tough love where necessary and wisdom.
Pray that the community will continue to fully support this facility and it's ministry with donations in kind and monetary support/
Pray that the folks who are there this winter will see Christ's love in action and experience that love in their own hearts.
Pray that those who leave the shelter will then have a home to go to and a job to support them.
Friends of Camp Pendleton
A new ministry started by the mission committee this year to support our good friends and neighbors at Camp Pendleton. We are hoping to be able to tutor children if needed, prepare for the homecoming of troops and just be there if needed by any spouse or family.
Pray for the families of the soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
Pray for the safety and health of every Marine currently and formerly deployed. Thank God for their bravery and tremendous cost to them and their families.
Pray for the strength for the families of deployed Marines while dealing with the everyday issues and the joys and challenges of raising children alone.
