There was an argument among them as to which of them would be the greatest. But Jesus knew their thoughts, so a brought a little child to his side. Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me, welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.” Luke 9:46-48

As of yesterday, Give Grace, better put, the community behind Give Grace is now sponsoring 9 children in China, 8 children in Uganda, and a house mother caring for the children in Uganda. What helps me smile is the hope of those 36 eyes beholding the face of Jesus one day, or their quickly growing hands being raised before the Throne one day, or their tongues proclaiming the greatness of God in their own language. Just to know that we can share in a small part of other peoples lives, sincerely caring for them brings great joy. The promise that in doing so, we welcome their Father, who made them, sustains them, and loves them. That’s beautiful.

Step over to the media section on the site and you can see their faces.

Today, we wrote our first check ($3600) to partner with Jonathan Smyth who will be soon moving to China to teach English and share his life. Jonathan has been a huge part of Grace Campus since its beginning and we could not be more proud of him. His love for people speaks through his life and willingness to go. We are expectant of how his simply being there will be a blessing to many. Enough said.

On December 6th at Encounter, we’ll be collecting gifts for the orphanages in both China and Uganda. If you would like to participate in this effort, please contact us : info@gracecampus.net
