What are some goals and plans for your future ministry: We want to help establish Anglo churches to reach Hispanics throughout Utah. Don't make your own plans, there is joy in serving Jesus, where ever it may be! Soon we visited Mexico and God confirmed that this would be where he wanted us to serve. As we look back, it is very clear how God has always prepared us for each stage of our ministry, and even now as God has led us to serve the Lord reaching Hispanics in this Utah mission field, we see how God has used 18 years in Mexico to prepare us for this ministry. If there is one thing that I would challenge young people to do, it would be to be sensitive to God's leading. :) The Lord began to move more specifically and put on my heart to serve Him as a missionary. After one year of Bible College, Penny and I got married. After sitting out a year, God really got ahold of my heart and I realized He wanted me to serve him full-time. I could handle that but I did have one request, that God take me somewhere where it was warm. How did God lead you into missions: I (Shawn) grew up living on the mission field where my parents served in Uruguay, S.A. I lived the missionary life, served God faithfully as a child and teenager with my parents on the field but I was not necessarily interested in serving the Lord in that way myself. One thing my parents were faithful in teaching me, was to be sensitive to the Lord's will concerning my life.

#Grace outreach update#
We post a monthly update and prayer request report. How can we pray for you: Grace Church can pray for us in many ways. We also partner with international missionaries to send students and leaders to take the gospel to a city in the Middle East with over 15 million people, 500 thousand college students, and less than 0.05% Christian. What are some goals and plans for your future ministry: Our specific goals are to reach, equip, and mobilize the 50,000 college students in the Grand Rapids area and at GVSU to be able to take the gospel wherever they go after college. If we are able to make a difference in a student's life for Christ while they are on campus, we believe that the world truly can be changed as they go out after college. As well the "nations" are on our university campuses. Students are truly harassed and helpless by the countless other types of competition for their hearts and minds. Most statistics say that the decisions and life choices that are made in these four years will impact someone for the rest of their life.
#Grace outreach full#
While we were at Grace we were blessed to be able to lead the college group and just felt a growing desire in our hearts to invest in students with our primary energy and hours full time rather than on a volunteer basis. College is quite possibly the most formative years for a person. How did God lead you into missions: We have always loved college students.
Organization that you are serving with: Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) campus ministry at Grand Valley State University and the Grand Rapids area.
