To glorify God, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit

This is our highest motivation and all-encompassing purpose.
We do not glorify man, organization, or government, but God, and we evaluate what we do by this standard.

GRA has many functions, responsibilities, and ministries, but only one basic purpose. Everything we do is related to that purpose.

Evangelize
We believe that mankind is lost and needs to be redeemed through Christ Jesus, whom we proclaim as Savior. This distinguishes us from humanitarian agencies.

The Unreached
Our major concern is for unevangelized people groups. We are also reaching out for individuals, villages and communities who need a cross-cultural witness if they are to understand the gospel.

Minister to Human Need
We see ministering to human need as scripturally valid. We do this in the context of our central purpose.

Disciple Believers
This involves teaching the Word of God, developing the gifts of the body, bringing believers to maturity in Christ.

Churches
GRA is a church-planting mission, which distinguishes us from the majority that specialize only on evangelism or charity purpose. We believe the local church is God's provision for worship, witness, and edification of the believer.

Equipping
This involves providing skills and leadership training which will enable the churches to be bases for missions. The end result we seek is the local church reaching out to others who are unevangelized and this has proven to be very effective in every region where the Lord has used GRA to impact His end time vision.

Our Values

Our 12 Core Values describe what's important to us at GRA, and define who we are.

• As Christians - committed to the whole biblical truth, dependent on God, and people of prayer (Joshua 1: 8, Jer. 23: 29,1 Pet. 1: 24-25).
• As Evangelicals - mission-focused, church-centered, and concerned about human needs (Matt. 28: 18-29, Eph. 4: 11-16)
• As a Mission Organization - a Christ like family, a sharing community, international, and nondenominational (Eph. 3: 15,Rev. 7: 9-10)
• Service - We are created to serve and minister to others resulting in lives that are changed forever. (Matt. 20:28)
• God's Love to us - God is greatly in love with us and is committed to our growth and development. (John 16:27, Jer.31:3, Deut.7:6-8)
• Excellence - We are committed to a life and ministry of absolute excellence. (Daniel 6:3, Philippians 1:10)
• Giving - Our life is to give, not to take. (2 Cor. 8:3-5, Matt.20:28)
• Godliness - Our character will determine our destiny. (2 Peter 1:1, Romans1:1)
• Meekness and Lowliness -Staying teachable makes us able to teach. (Prov. 4:1-2, 5-9 & 9:9)
• Relationship with other believers - We are committed to covenant relationships (1 Sam.18:1-5, 20:23). The way we treat others is the truest barometer of our relationship with God. (1 John 4:20)
• Our survival and dependency - We live by faith and the complete integrity of God's Word (2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:6, 6:19). By faith we're dependent on God for the provision of all our needs. We also recognize that God has given us the responsibility to work with diligence, integrity, and accountability in cultivating and using the resources he has given us (Rom 12: 7, 11 Cor. 8: 21, Ps. 62: 5-8)
• Our passion - We will pursue our principles unto death. (Heb. 10:35-39)

If you share these Core Values, if you believe in the same biblical truths, if you feel God has called you to the same purpose…we encourage you to consider prayerfully how you should respond.

We don't claim to always live up to these values for now, but they form the standard against which we measure ourselves. If you share these values, as well as the biblical essentials by which we live, and would like to grow in the expression of them, perhaps God is leading you to identify in some way with the GRA family -

• To pray
• To give
• To team up
• To go

The Lord might be asking you to reach out to us in Faith, Please prayerfully consider this and if so you have started something that can be the most powerful and exciting event in your walk with the Lord. You have made a step of faith by reaching out to us and touching the heart of God "lost souls" and we are so thankful to the Lord for that contact, and the new relationship to obey and serve the Lord.
