About Reflection of Grace
"Reflection of Grace" is a Non-Profit Project that reflects the love of Jesus through Field Worker care and Pastoral development. Since 2015, this project has been globally ministering to those in ministry with powerful and effective care. As followers of Jesus, we believe we should use our God-given means and talents to 1) share the gospel of Jesus and 2) to help and serve our fellow believers who have dedicated their vocational lives to sharing the gospel.
how we serve
Those serving God full time often feel discouraged and isolated by their unfamiliar environments, the need to appear "perfect" in front of others because of their title, and the heavy spiritual warfare they experience in the places they are.
Support is a vital relational need and key way to show love to those serving God and others. to work alongside Field Workers and pastors in what they are doing and be intimately invested in their calling and lives matters. to be there in person is huge when you pray together, cry together, and laugh together.
To bring provisions of physical help through service and gifts is a necessary and tangible way to show our love. especially to those serving God who have given up many environmental and financial comforts to show love to others in dark places.
values + Purpose
As Believers, we believe that the body of Christ is 1) called to value and care for one another and 2) called to value and care for the lost. With this priority in mind, Reflection of Grace serves and reflects God’s grace to both believers and the lost.
Our purpose is to reflect the grace given to us by Jesus and to empower others to do the same.
WHERE WE SERVE
-
Sasha and Maria are indigenous to North Macedonia and planted a church in Skopje that has seen years of trials and growth. The vast majority of the population is orthodox christian, but with little to no knowledge of the saving grace of Jesus. They recently purchased a property at the bottom of a high rise concrete apartment building and are renovating the space into a wonderful place of worship where we all pack in to sing praises to God. They suffer unique challenges and it is a joy to serve them and fellowship with them in person. The language in Macedonian.
Also through them we have been able to connect and serve other dear field workers in the balkans, and God is moving in Eastern Europe! The languages are: Serbian, Greek, Albanian, & Montenegrin.

A newly added field worker family serves in the East Middle of the world. We are constantly encouraging each other, while they start a new work of serving in an area hostile to the gospel. We look forward to visiting them and all God will do with their humble hearts to serve others and be used by Him. The language and location are kept private for safety reasons

The Nelsons serve in Bethel Alsaska. A place far far north, with desperate need for the light of Jesus and encouragement. The drug and alcohol abuse there is deeply engrained in the culture and people who seek to numb the pain of life. this family is truly a light to their community and the far reaches of the frigid north as they reach out to the Inuit community as well. They are newly added to our list, and we look forward to in person fellowship to help keep their light burning bright! The language is English and Yup’ik.

The Ream Team works in Haiti and has for the last 8 years. They wear many hats discipling pastors, pastoring a church, and running a women's micro loan ministry (KOFAEL). They hold a very special place in my heart and need caring for as they work in the most financially poor country in the western hemisphere. The Language is Creole.

There are two groups in this large, highly populated country. North and South. In the South pastors of local churches are in constant need of encouragement due to the persecution there. Training is needed there for their missionary training facility, amazing youth and homeless children outreaches. To the north there is a dear family who serve several schools packed full of some of the worlds most vulnerable children. They run med clinics and educate these children and their families, bringing good news with them. The Language is Tamil, Hindi, and several others.

East Africa holds a beloved pastor, good friends and amazing young people. They are building a local church and partnering with us to provide the necessary funds for the youth in the church to complete their educational degrees. The local pastor is also going through seminary training and through our provided materials with the hope of coming to the Holy land with World of the Bible next year. There is also a local youth rugby club we plan to host a rugby camp with, in partnership with a professional rugby player and coach from the US. These efforts and outreaches are all tied to the church and pastors there. The Languages are Swahili, English, Lugandan, Lusoga and several other local dialects.

This is the capital of the world. From New York culture and information trickle down. The field workers here work on college campuses full time bringing hope, truth and love through outreach and discipleship. They are new to NYC but not new to field work. Supporting them in the mecca urban hub of NYC is exciting, challenging, and totally worth it.

Some dear pastors of an assembly in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas are growing the community of believers there and have many unique challenges that are in need of outside field worker care with an understanding of the culture. Reflection of Grace is so honored and pleased when able to bring good gifts of support and encouragement to them.
