To the ends of the world
This is a crucial moment in time for our church.
God has given the leadership of Grace a vision that will carry us into the year 2020 and beyond.
It will require each of us to take steps—moving to deeper levels of faith, commitment, surrender,
and devotion to God and to our mission of glorifying Him by making more and better disciples.
God is not finished with Grace Fellowship.
Today, and in the coming months and years, we have the opportunity to join together
and intentionally live out the prophetic structure for church mission that Jesus gave in Acts.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8 (NIV)Our Jerusalem
For the original followers of Jesus, Jerusalem was the city that many of them considered home. It was the place of their identity and culture. In our context, this would be the cities where we deposit the largest investments of time and ministry—Latham, Halfmoon, East Greenbush, and Saratoga.
Our Judea & Samaria
This is the area just outside of our Jerusalem. It represents the expansion of our mission and ministry into neighboring cultures and communities.
To the ends of the world
There are no boundaries to this frontier. Every country and people group is an opportunity. Our desire is to increase our impact with existing ministry partners around the world, and to leverage new partnerships as an opportunity to bring Jesus to countless others in darkness.
