Where we have been and where we are Going!

As we start a new year and approach the second anniversary of our opening, it is encouraging to look back and remember what the Lord has done! Our prayer for Revival continues. Though participants are few, it seems to reflect the history we read in Scripture. God often uses the few, and more often a few that the world we live in would never have chosen for the job. It is very humbling to be among those whom the Lord calls

to be co-laborers together with Him, in the Gospel. We have experienced joy and sadness, victory and defeat, yet we have remained steadfast in our commitment to the Lord. His grace has been sufficient and his blessings have been abundantly more than we could have ever imagined. More and more we see a cross section of the community frequenting Greater Grace. We see several Youth Pastors letting go of spiritual pride and humbling themselves to work together for the sake of the Gospel. A small but growing group of young people are getting excited about sharing Jesus with others. Activities are being held at one Church that welcomes and freely shares with those from other Churches. The result is that the attitude of exclusivity is slowly retreating and an attitude of love, acceptance, and respect are taking its place. A new respect for God and his wonderful grace and love is also beginning to take hold. Could this be the embers of a Revival Fire? We believe so! Are there nay sayers among us? Of course, but will we be discouraged? No way! Let the mockers mock, and the quarrelers quarrel, but we will press on to Victory here at Greater Grace. Our primary goal in '07 is the launch of Mission Go! This is the evangelical arm of Greater Grace, reaching out to the World. We will begin with a local Bible Study that focuses on Gods gift of grace and our response. The ultimate goal will be for every participant to Go! as Jesus commanded, and make disciples of all nations. Join us at Greater Grace, as we follow Jesus!
