GraceTouch

Facilitating global impact

 
Greetings!

Don't you just love planning a celebration, especially when it honors someone you care about? We're preparing a celebration to honor women who have taken Titus 2:3-5 seriously. You might even be one of them!

Planning ahead

 

  

 

"It's easier to build a girl...

SMM girl

...than to repair a woman." Would you agree with that statement?

  

Have you seen this principle in action? Who are the women who were influential in helping build you, and where would you be without them?

 

SMM (Serving My Master, also known as Sisterhood of Mary and Martha) has focused on building girls for almost a century. SMM has sought to promote the twin values of worship and purity, service and growth. Imagine where our Fellowship would be without it!

 

SMM is planning a special celebration in 2013 to launch a new century of building girls. We want to honor the faithful women who have poured into girls over the years. Please share with us how you have seen someone make a difference in a girl's life.

 

You can also sign up to receive updates on SMM and the progress of the celebration plans.

Honor those who make a difference
 
and make a difference yourself!

Honor Her scholarships give donors a chance to show appreciation for women who have served as an example while helping young women explore whether God is calling them to missionary service. Recently the Rebekah Circle at the First Grace Brethren Church of Dayton gave a gift in honor of Bernice Morgan. She is 99 years old and has served for many years as their prayer coordinator!

You can find out more about Honor Her scholarships and read about Mary James, this summer's scholarship recipient. 
What would you say to an atheist?
 
Here's a chance to find out!
czechYou can have an exciting opportunity to share your faith in a country where religion is dying. A women's team will be ministering in the Czech Republic next summer. Missionary Cindy Swain writes, "The ladies will meet and talk with true atheists about their faith in Christ and share their lives with them. They will have the opportunity to meet Czech people and share their faith with them through English. We are also planning that they will talk with the ladies in the church here about living as godly women and how to share Christ in daily life with their children and grandchildren. Most of the children have only one Christian parent or grandparent."   More details
