A DISCIPLE IS ONE WHO IS:
We intentionally work at living these themes out in our church and individual lives. One way we live this out is encouraging each individual adult, each family and our congregation to have an adopted mission or “special relationship”.
Individuals: Members are encouraged to adopt a person outside the faith or de-churched, to befriend and have a relationship significant to change their life’s path. It may require time, finances, friendship and sacrifice. It should be a genuine caring relationship not patronizing or for the purpose of converting. The giver (you) will benefit more than the receiver. It is important to live as disciples not only as followers!
Families: Likewise we encourage a family to adopt another family in a genuine friendship. This friendship is outside the faith and not for the purpose of converting them, but for the purpose of serving and helping them change their life path. Perhaps you can help them acquire parenting skills, or encourage financial skills, or just show them a family life. It is important to live as disciples not only as followers.
Church: Every institution ought to have another institution to support and help. Grace has a number of mission projects; one project we are strongly involved with is our Sister Congregation in Levice, Slovakia. Each year we send folks there and receive visitors here to help them acquire the skills to grow the church in a post communism environment.
