Our Ministries
Grace Chapel Fellowship celebrates 25 years of dedicated service to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, in a rich tradition of Holy Scripture immersion on Sundays and Wednesdays as we explore His Word in order to become more present and fully-active Christians dedicated to God's plan for our lives. Please consider helping/joining/supporting one of our other ministries.
Scripture informs us that as Christians we "are light in the Lord" and we should "live as children of light, for the fruit that the light produces consists of every form of goodness, righteousness, and truth" (Matthew 7:16-17; Ephesians 5:8-9). "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers" (Galatians 6:10).
Children's Ministry
Because children are a gift from God, it is incumbent on us to “start children off on the way they should go, [so] even when they are old they will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Grace Chapel Fellowship’s Children’s Ministry is about drawing children to Jesus by impressing upon them the Holy Scriptures. Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children” (Matthew 11:25). At Grace Chapel Fellowship, we value how God reveals Himself through the children of our church, but this is combined with teaching children to honor their parents and authority figures, so “that it may go well with them and they may enjoy long life on the earth (Ephesians 6:1-3). Grace Chapel Fellowship uses God-inspired teaching to lovingly correct and redirect behaviors.
Marriage
Preparations
"Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus, Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord .... Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:20-22; 25-27).
Women's
Ministry
Grace Chapel Fellowship will be holding periodic luncheons/dinners for the women of our church during the school year. Please check the September calendar for future events.
Missionary Support
Isaiah 52:1-2
"Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion" (Isaiah 52:1-2).
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continued prayers and support in the forward movement of the Gospel across the continent of Africa.
We have six schools running during June and July.
Rwanda, Burera
Uganda, Kampala
Togo, Lome
Tanzania, Geita
Nigeria, Mowe
and South Africa (supported by themselves)
We completed the school in Agbole, Ivory Coast at the end of May.
As of writing this newsletter we presently have three schools running in Tanzania, Togo and Nigeria.
Upcoming schools for the month of August.
Rwanda, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Congo (will probably be delayed due to ongoing Ebola crisis)
Throughout these schools the constant emphasis is for the student to become the Truth they are learning. Christ must be made real to the heart and in our yielding to His purpose, He must be allowed to live His Life through a human vessel.
In each of these schools the day begins with one hour of prayer and closes with another hour of prayer after eight lessons. The training lasts approximately four weeks.
Your support helps to cover the cost of feeding, accommodating and training these church leaders. Thank you for standing with us.
Yours in Christ our Lord,
Stephen Cartwright
