About Us
Grace Mission has a long history beginning as Grace Mission to Haiti, and going back to 1976 when an American pastor visited Haiti and saw the need to help a Haitian pastor establish a church in Haiti. From that humble beginning, Grace Mission has worked to do the work of evangelism, discipleship and church planting in fulfilling the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20. Countless lives have been changed for eternity through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Grace Mission is committed to helping those in need by providing food, housing, clothing, medical care, education and sustainable projects, while delivering the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. Having seen the original work of the mission coming to its original goals, the Board began seeking new partnerships around the world to continue that work. We invite you to join us as we seek to reach the world with the Gospel. In 2017, Grace Mission to Haiti, Inc. became Grace Mission to The World, Inc. The Articles of Incorporation were changed in the state of Florida to reflect the new name. The purpose of the mission is no longer limited to Haiti, but is worldwide.
Our Purpose:
The mission of Grace Mission to The World is to encourage, equip and enable Christians and churches in America to come alongside indigenous churches around the world in their efforts in evangelism, discipleship and church planting (I Corinthians 3:9).
What we believe:
DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
- We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, equally in all its parts and without error in its original manuscripts. The Holy Scriptures are the only infallible rule of faith and practice. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Revelation 22:18-19.
- We believe in One God, eternally existent in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,who created all the universe and man by a direct and immediate act. Matthew 28:19-20; John 3:34; 14:16; 16:15; Acts 2:33; Hebrews 11:3; Revelation 4:11.
- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His pre-existence, incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death for the sins of mankind through His shed blood, burial, bodily resurrection and ascension to the Father. We believe in His personal return to earth to reign in power and glory. Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:20,23; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-3, 14; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Philippians 3:20-21.
- We believe that the whole human race fell into sin “in Adam”, the head and progenitor of mankind, and that because of sin, man is depraved and in need of individual salvation by grace alone, through faith in Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice through His shed blood, burial and bodily resurrection. We believe in the eternal security of every believer who is “in Christ”. Genesis 3:1-13; Leviticus 17:11; John 10:27-29; Romans 5:12-14; I Corinthians 15:3, 4; Ephesians 1:6; 2:8-9; Philippians 1:6; Romans 10:9-10; Titus 3:5-7; Hebrews 9:22; 10:4-10; Revelation 1:5.
- We believe in the reality of the person of Satan, the enemy of God and mankind. We believe that his defeat is sure and certain. Genesis 3:1,15; cf. Revelation 12:9-10; 20:1-10; Job 1:6-12; 2:1-7; Matthew 4:1-11; 2 Corinthians 11:11-13; 1 Peter 5:8,9.
- We believe in two resurrections; one of the saved and one of the lost They that are saved unto eternal blessedness in God’s presence, and they that are lost unto eternal damnation, eternally separated from the presence of God, in the lake of fire. The first resurrection,
which is made up of two events, the Rapture and the Resurrection of Old Testament saints, is both imminent and pre-millennial. The second resurrection will take place just before the Great White Throne Judgment. John 5:28,29; 1 Corinthians 15:50-57; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Revelation 20:46, 12-15. - We believe in the spiritual unity of the universal church, which is the Body of Christ and comprised of all those who are “in Christ’ through the baptism of the Holy Spirit and growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe we should be constantly being filled with the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer and be separated from worldly attitudes and practices thus giving witness of the saving grace of God. Acts 2:40-42; Romans 12:4-6a; I Corinthians 12:13-17; Galatians 1:22; 3:27; Ephesians
2:21-22; 4:11-13; Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 1:1; 2:14. - We believe in the local church as an autonomous congregation of believers with gifted men as leaders. The local church is comprised of “born again” individuals endowed with spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of mutual edification for the work of the ministry.Local churches gather together to study the Word of God, to pray, to worship and to fellowship. Acts 2:41-42; Romans 12:4-6a; I Corinthians 12:13-27; Galatians 1:22; Ephesians 1:1; 2:22-23; 4:11-13; Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:1-2; I Thessalonians 1:1; 2:14.
- We believe the local church is to observe two ordinances. They are the ordinances of Baptism and Communion. These are ordinances that symbolize our position “in Christ and are practiced as a declaration and a memorial not as a sacrament. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 8:29-39; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34.
- We believe the local church has been given a commission from the Lord Jesus Christ to go into all the world preaching the Gospel, baptizing and teaching the whole council of God to those who believe. Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8.
