Grace Baptist Church

In the early 1990s the Lord began to awaken us more intently to focus on getting the Gospel to unreached people groups (UPGs). We adopted one such group and began to pray for them and Christian workers who live among them. We also began to pray that God would raise up workers from among our own membership who would "go to hard places to make Jesus Christ known." Within a few years we sent one of our deacons and his family to live with them. Over several years many became believers and were formed into the first church among this people.

We have since sent another deacon and his family who work among Central Asian and other refugees in Greece. They also have been involved in planting a church comprised of new believers. 

We currently have another member who is in training and hopes to move to Central Asia in January of 2009 to live and work among another UPG. 

While Central Asia has been our focus, we have also been involved in spreading the Gospel in other parts of the world. In 2001 we sent one of our elders and his family to serve among an UPG in Paraguay, where they have seen people become followers of Jesus and gathered into new churches. We have also sent members to minister in Mexico, Greece, Romania, Brazil, China, Portugal, Guyana, Antigua, Zambia and South Africa. 

The Spanish sermons of Pastor Gonzalez are watched and heard by people from over a dozen Latin American countries. 

In addition to all this, we are in regular contact with missionaries and indigenous pastors in dozens of nations. Our desire is to serve and encourage those who are working to make Jesus known to the nations.
