Church Growth
Scripture engagement is key to start new churches and help existing churches grow in size and maturity.
Evangelism and discipleship are key to church growth around the world. Church growth is the natural outcome of Scripture engagement. As we provide Project PRO-grace bible distribution and Church Planter Training to churches, they grow in spiritual maturity and in numbers. Existing churches increase their membership and new churches are established in unreached communities.
Introducing the Gospel Early
Right now, 41 percent of the world’s population is under the age of 24; 25 percent is under the age of 15. God’s Word tells us to “start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6 NIV). We are committed to engaging children and youth in God’s Word so that they will follow Jesus Christ all through their lives. Our focus is on reaching those from primary school through college by utilizing PRO-grace Bible studies in schools, churches, camps, and more.
Prison Ministry
Prison inmates can find true freedom through Jesus Christ and experience transformation through God’s Word.
Finding Freedom in the Gospel
By the power of the Holy Spirit working through God’s Word, prison inmates are finding true freedom in Jesus Christ. PRO-grace prison ministry PPM is expanding its efforts worldwide to engage inmates in the Gospel’s redeeming message. As inmates encounter the love and grace of the Savior, their lives are transformed behind bars.
In partnership with well wishers, PRO-grace discipleship Bible study is being added to PPM’s evangelistic study, The Prisoner’s Journey. Every inmate who completes the evangelistic study receives a copy of PRO-grace prison ministry’s easy‐to‐read Prison Bible. Other PRO-grace ministry partners continue to implement our PRO-grace evangelism and discipleship Bible studies in prisons East Africa.
Ministry Programs
Our programs are designed to reach people where they need it most.
There is no greater gift we can give a person than the opportunity to read the Bible in the privacy of their home. Yet, multiplied millions in countries around the world have never heard about Jesus or have read God’s Word. You can provide a Bible or Scripture portion to people in their own language in countries across the globe.
Bible studies for evangelism and discipleship
The heart of PRO-grace International’s global ministry is PRO-grace prison minisry. This Bible study program helps people around the world to understand God’s Word so that they will find new life in Jesus Christ.
Bible-based Literacy Transforming lives through Literacy
Providing access to the Bible through literacy or learning another language offers another opportunity to transform lives by the power of God’s Word.
Equipping Believers to Lead Churches
In places where there are no local churches, and for growing churches eager to share the Gospel with others in their communities, Church Planter Training provides the Bibles and training that lead to sustainable churches where they are needed most.
Making the Bible Accessible
God did not intend for His Word to be difficult. But the Good News is hard to understand for many of the people we serve. They are among the poorest and least educated in the world, often living in remote villages or under‐developed urban centers
STATEMENT OF FAITH
- We believe the Bible, as contained in the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and infallible Word of God, being given by the Holy Spirit of God to holy men of old. It is, therefore, the only and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
- We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His works of miracles, in His vicarious and redeeming death, in His cleansing blood shed on Calvary, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God the Father and in His personal and visible return in power and glory.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who by means of the Word of God, is the Author of the new birth, the Comforter, and the Sanctifier; and He indwells the believer.
- We believe that humans were created in the image of God, that they fell into sin, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death which is separation from God; that all human beings, in consequence of the Fall, are born with sinful nature.
- We believe in the necessity of the new birth by the Holy Spirit in order that people may have peace with God, and this new birth cannot be received by being born into a Christian home or by association with believers. Rather, it is attained by putting one’s entire confidence in the atoning work of Christ on the cross, and in the power of His resurrection.
- We believe in the resurrection of the body, both of the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed in Christ, and the eternal punishment of those who have rejected the offer of Salvation.
- We believe that the commission of Christ to be witnesses of His life, death and resurrection and eternal life through His name is the task of every born-again Christian.
