Many are the plans....
"Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."
Proverbs 19:21 NIV
Bohemian Teacher, Dr. Myles Munroe, expressed in his teachings on purpose that "what makes you angry, you were born to fix". At times, we find ourselves lost in navigating the world, pursuing the dreams others have dreamt for us, or stuck in the limbo of what we are meant to do, but don't worry; our founder just got to understanding hers when she launched By Grace Ministries. Many were the plans in her heart, but one purpose remained.
"Laid on her heart", she says, was the pain of the misplaced, underserved, and understimulated. Children seeking safe outlets for growth, recreation, and fellowship; those unhoused using plastic bags as blankets and finding comfort in eating what you no longer want; those who know where they want to go but don't yet know how or where to start; those whose community has set low expectations for them but know their calling is higher; and all the neighbors in between.
To put these thoughts, feelings, and dreams into action, By Grace Ministries was built with the purpose of:
'Extending an invitation of grace and building the space for empowerment and growth to begin.'
Through development and literacy programs, counseling and mentorship, community engagement and outreach, and many more services to come, we are here to be of service. As we plan to serve our community in many capacities, we also have plenty of space on our team. As God has loved us, we are called to love one another — and that care is what built By Grace Ministries. Now we invite you to be part of that love in motion. There is space on this team for you, whether you give your time, your resources, or your voice.
Your purpose could be the missing piece in someone else's story.
