Thank you for your partnership in 2023!

Through your generous giving in 2023, we were able to provide to so many in need and serve God faithfully as stewards of His financial resources. We are praying that 2024 is filled with much more of the same. Below, you will find just some of the many ways your giving made an impact.

Missions

Our mission partners, Rise India, wish to thank Grace Fellowship for your support this year. Your faithful giving has allowed Rise India to minister to families, maintain a trade school, and drill water wells in poor, thirsty villages. 

 Your giving has led to the drilling of freshwater wells, providing a good water source to many for the first time. Issues of freshwater sources are such a constant need. The lack of freshwater sources often keeps children out of school so that they can help carry the water back to their village from distant sources. 

Through your kind and thoughtful support, people’s lives are being transformed, school attendance has increased, and women and children are safe and healthy.

On September 30, Grace Fellowship had the opportunity to participate with Serve As One, a multi-church collaborative community serving outreach, in a major serving event that had volunteer teams serving at nine (9) different locations, covering the counties of Albany, Rensselaer and Saratoga. Grace Fellowship’s 120 volunteers added huge value to many local non-profit organizations, in the form of lawn work, painting, sorting donated supplies, food preparation, new paver patios, handyman repair items, and much more, all with the overarching goal of representing Jesus well through acts of kindness and generosity.

IF: Gathering

This past May, we hosted the IF:Gathering simulcast at our Halfmoon and Saratoga Campuses. Women from all over the Capital Region participated in worship, heard powerful messages from many different speakers, and spent time in fellowship.

Hosted by Jennie Allen, the conference centered on teaching from Psalm 23. We are so glad women at Grace Fellowship and around the area were able to join together for this impactful time. Your giving made this event possible, so thank you! 

Ignite

The goal of the Ignite Womens Event is to fan the flame of faith in local Christian women so they can live boldly and brightly for Jesus in one of the ‘least-churched’ areas of the country. This fall, we gathered with over 300 women from the Capital Region and beyond—the majority of which were from one of our three Grace Fellowship campuses but over 40 other area churches were also represented. 

Our theme for this year’s event came from Matthew 24 and served as the basis for our worship, teaching, and breakout sessions. Overall, it was a beautiful afternoon of fellowship, and women left recharged, excited, inspired, and in deeper awe of God.
