At Grace Community Church, our calling and ministry aren't over when we leave the church building.  In fact, that's just the start!  We are a church that takes seriously both the privilege and responsibility we have as Christ's ambassadors to a fallen world.  This calling is seen in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) given by Jesus before he went up to heaven.  It is a calling that reminds us that our "mission field" is wherever God has placed us - amongst the friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and other peers he has already brought into our life.  But as a church, we also recognize the great need around the world to spread the good news of the gospel of Christ.  We have therefore partnered in this great work with the following missionaries and organizations through our prayers and financial giving.   If you have any questions about our missionaries or would like more information on how you can personally support them, please e-mail us at gracemarinette@gmail.com.

Ron & Leslie Radke

Ron and Leslie (along with Nathan, Sophia, & Lydia) are our missionaries serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators.  Ron serves the Bibleless peoples of the world through: (1) helping produce the Translator's Notes series (a "commentary" for mother-tongue translators), (2) translator training, and (3) consulting and checking translations.  While his work on the Translator's Notes series is aimed at providing a resource for translators of all languages, he is also active in the more focused work of the training and assisting of translators in the country of Madagascar. 

Benjamin & Heidi Turkalj

Benjamin & Heidi Turkalj (along with Tea) are our missionaries serving with Pioneers.  They are serving in the country of Croatia (where Benjamin is from and where Heidi also lived as a missionary kid).  They received their education and training at Moody Bible Institute, and are now back in Croatia serving as both pastor and church planters.  Their ministry involves: (1) teaching and preaching, (2) evangelism & discipleship, (3) music/worship ministry, and (4) literature development. 

Jacob & Melissa Honebein

Jacob and Melissa (along with Grace & Caleb) are our missionaries with New Tribes Missions.  God has laid on their hearts to go to West Africa to reach an unreached people group with the good news of the gospel.  They are currently in a training phase of learning the language and culture of the people of West Africa.  After then adopting a people group as their own they plan on (1) partnering with Wycliffe Bible Translators to translate the Bible for this people and (2) planting a church among them.
