Grace to the Nations » Updates @ GTN http://www.gracetothenations.com Connecting to God's Story Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:12:19 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Want to Get Dirty? http://www.gracetothenations.com/want-to-get-dirty/ http://www.gracetothenations.com/want-to-get-dirty/#comments Wed, 29 Jun 2011 13:11:53 +0000 Spence http://www.gracetothenations.com/?p=804 We are experiencing an increase in the amount of calls of those in great need during these summer months.  We always need more supporters and volunteers who want to experience and serve those in some very messy situations.  It’s not easy, it’s not prepackaged McMinistry, your service will be largely unnoticed, it will exhaust you, and it will bless you beyond measure.  You don’t need to have all the answers, all that’s required is a heart of compassion and love for the Gospel and the kingdom of God. Come play in the dirt of God’s grace!

You can join our inner support community online through our private Grace to the Nations Facebook Group where we post specific needs and attempt to meet those needs as a community. Contact GTN with questions and we will invite you to join us.  If you would simply like to follow the general needs of GTN we also have a GTN Facebook Fan Page and Twitter.

Whether it be communicating with our supporters through our e-newsletter, connecting with efforts in Haiti via Twitter, or simply sharing GTN’s work through our websites, technology helps us accomplish our mission of connecting the community of believers into the community of need.

That is why we are so proud to have REtechSouth as a business partner this year. REtechSouth is the largest real estate technology conference in the southeast.  This conference has supported GTN since its inception in 2008 and we were privileged to be involved again this year.

Thanks to those of you who attended for donating $600 to GTN and Project Judy. Your contributions sponsored another 30 Judy dolls for the orphans of Haiti! And a special thanks to REtechSouth for your corporate sponsorship. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

One of the ladies who works year-round with children on the streets in Santiago, Dominican Republic is attempting to give 30 children new shoes for Christmas.  I would like for Grace to the Nations to assist her in this project, but I need your help.  I would like to raise $300 ASAP and use these funds to buy these children shoes for Christmas.  If you would consider helping it would be greatly appreciated.   GIVE NOW and help a child in need this Christmas.  Thank you!

Our focus has been on the immediate needs of food, clothing and shelter. To date GTN has distributed over 2,000 lbs of food, as well as clothing and other household needs. You, your families, your businesses and your churches have made this possible. Saying thanks seems like such a small gesture. Those who have received have been generous with their thanks. Many times the food or clothing has been far less meaningful than simply the encouragement they receive from knowing others care for them.

We would also like to say a special thanks to New Media Atlanta and ReTech South for their financial contribution and the wonderful example they have given the technology community in Atlanta. download Long Good Friday, The On that note, over half of the response Grace to the Nations received regarding the flood came through social media like Facebook and Twitter.

We were able to connect with people far from our community and get them involved in ministry efforts. As Bob Dylan once sang, “The times, they are a-changin!”

I would also encourage you to go and read this story about local believers who took it upon themselves to get deeply involved and connected into the community of need.

In the days ahead we will continue to work with any local flood victims through our Life2Life Mentoring ministry as we assist them in rebuilding their lives and pointing to One who is greater than any flood.

Continue to pray for the families affected, go out and get involved. HopeAtlanta is continuing to organize volunteers in ministry efforts. If you’re available, go and serve. BE the church!

Grace be with you,

Spence Nix
