E-mails arrive every week from church planters (particularly from the African continent or India) seeking affiliation with Grace Church Planting Ministries. A bit puzzled by these requests, we do not understand why this seems to be such an urgent need in some parts of the world. The Bible does not require this sort of thing, so we do not want any brother or sister in Christ to feel inadequate or incomplete in their church planting ministries by laboring under such an illusion. We do not offer pastoral oversight, or any sort of official partnership, or ecclesiastical "covering" to enable you to work under our ministry organization. Please feel free to correspond with us if you have unanswered questions or need guidance in this area.

Are you a church planter seeking financial support? Looking to join our ministry organization? Is your ministry involved in planting new churches? Perhaps you have already planted a new congregation and you need funding to build a worship center or enlarge your present facilities. You need to read this important notice before contacting us.

We are a very small ministry and we operate, like yourselves, by faith in God alone. He supplies our needs through the generosity of others but He never gives us more than we need. If we had the financial reserves of Bill Gates, it would be a wonderful ministry to simply channel those resources throughout the world. But that isn't the case, so we are unable to provide financial support and/or funding assistance to you.

Our prayer is that God will provide the funding you seek and appropriate networking relationships within your own cultural context. "Where God guides, He provides" is an old proverb to which we fully subscribe. If you are engaged in the work of church planting, we ask God's richest blessings upon you, your family, and those you seek to reach with the good news of His grace in Christ!
