MISSIONS
Missions is at the heart of all that we do as Christians
THROUGH MISSIONS WE...
Graceway missions exists to connect us with others as we partner together to build the Kingdom of God. Join us and help make a difference as we share in what God is doing locally, nationally, and around the world.
Graceway is pleased to announce a number of upcoming mission trips that will typically have both a medical component AND a local village or community training/service/outreach component, for which no prior medical experience is necessary. We believe you will find something that speaks to you if you are feeling called to serve in missions!
Each trip is based on a recognized medical need and is also connected to a network of over 120 local churches and villages or communities who have made specific needs and activities requests.

NON-TRAVEL OPPORTUNITIES
1.
Lead a prayer team for a trip
Commit to praying for those going on the trip. This might include connecting with a trip member and updating other prayer warriors with the mission teams’ daily needs and progress, and then leading the group in prayer and thanksgiving for the trip and or praying in advance of the team’s departure and during their return for travel mercies.
2.
Adopt a Patient at Fundacion Medica San Lucas
All surgeries are based on the patient’s ability to pay, and each patient is connected to a local church who speaks on their behalf for the surgery. The church and the patient’s family agree to be in touch with one another throughout the surgical process (on site visits for pre and post op, check ups, the actual surgery), and the local church commits to in-home visits with patients following the procedure. Donated monies often cover costs such as travel to and from the hospital, consultation, and hospitalization for families who have no way to do so. Learn more about adopting an individual patient, his or her need, and the outcome of the surgery at this link:

SUPPORT MISSIONS
Christ’s last words to his disciples included a command to go into all the world and share the good news. That mission lies at the heart of Graceway, and we have the privilege to train and send missionaries around the world. Missions contributions help support men and women actively working to take the gospel to those who have yet to hear.
