World Focus OpenDoors Ministry

Our Committment

In addition to raising awareness of the persecuted church and the many available resources available online, Grace is committed to pray corporately, to engage in special Persecuted Church Sunday School classes, and dedicated to learn about other countries. We have weekly updates of current events in the bulletin, so people can pray individually during the week.
