More specifically, we do what we do out of love for Jesus and love for people. Our goal is to go on mission to help others experience a deep and meaningful life in Jesus Christ. Jesus said that the greatest command is to LOVE GOD and the second greatest command is to LOVE OTHERS. It is with this incredible motivation that we turn our thoughts to the practice of giving.
Grey Stone Church’s mission is to make disciples of all peoples through the Great Commission (found in Matthew 28:18-20). Our strategy is found in Acts 1:8. As followers of Jesus, we are all a part of this task and are to be His witnesses. Jesus has commissioned us to be His heart, His hands, and His voice. Through prayer, giving and going, we strive to make a difference with opportunities to serve others and share Jesus Christ.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

ZIMBABWE: This year a new team will be working in Zimbabwe, Africa near the city of Harare. Our goal is to establish a partnership with a local church, provide discipleship, women’s ministry, and children’s Bible study resources for the villages and local communities. We will be on location working in a rural setting, providing a holiday Bible school and L.I.F.E. Conference.
ZAMBIA: Grey Stone teams also travel to a location in Zambia, Africa. We work on location in the “bush country” working with the Mawawa people in the Western Province and in the city of Mongu. We will be working with local missionary Austin Maseka to organize a L.I.F.E. Conference for the villages and communities.
UGANDA: Grey Stone provides scholarships through IMB to the Uganda Baptist Seminary which was founded in 1988 to train church leaders in East Africa to be excellent ministers of Christ. More than 1,000 have graduated from UBS. The seminary serves not only the churches of Uganda but also those of surrounding neighbors: Kenya, South Sudan, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania.
GUINEA: We financially support the ongoing work of a Bible Translation in Sarwat for the people of Guinea to be able to read the Scriptures in their local language.

Since 2013, we have sent teams to locations in Asia to establish a relationship with on-site IMB Missionaries and prospective avenues for future work with UUPG’s (Un-engaged Unreached People Groups). Our current partnerships in Asia include…
BORNEO, MALAYSIA: We work to engage the local convention and work with them and find four UUPGs through local churches in sharing the gospel with every tribe and ethnic group in their area. Our teams work alongside IMB Missionaries and local believers to provide Theological Education for our more rural workers; Children’s camps; Family camps; Vacation Bible school; Construction projects; Water purification projects; and Campus ministry. As an example, whole villages live in what is called a “longhouse” and we have provided engineering and architect professionals to assist with fire safety in these longhouse villages.
VIETNAM: Through the Light for Ho Chi Min City (formerly known as Saigon) Project, we provide New Testaments and Evangelistic materials for this city of 8.9 million people, as well as prayer support for the unreached in this metropolitan city.
ETERNAL PEACE MEDICAL CLINIC: Our Financial partnership promotes biblical teaching, preaching, and healing at a primary care clinic in Asia to reach spiritually dry, communities. By establishing a primary care clinic (Asia’s version of “doc in a box”), pastors, health professionals, and laypeople plan to reach many farming villages through holistic ministry in an undisclosed location in Asia.

Grey Stone believes church planting is one of the most effective ways to spread the gospel of Christ. Grey Stone has planted many churches and most recently we are focused on the strategic city initiative with the North American Mission Board.
We are helping to plant churches in some of the most strategic cities in America. Presently, we are helping to plant a church in Boston. There are opportunities to go to Boston on short term mission trips as we support Victor Moura, the church planter, and the work at Grace Church.

Central America and Caribbean (C&C): Since 2008, Grey Stone has been sending teams to spread the gospel to Haiti with ministries in Port-au-Prince. Our teams have provided construction for three church plants, medical outreach, ministered to the orphans, led a teacher-academy at a school, trained local pastors, encouraged the missionaries at the orphanage, & worked in the community through evangelism efforts and compassion projects. We also have a rotating student project in Belize.
PANAMA: In 2023 we established a 3-year partnership in Panama City, Panama working with local IMB personnel in church planting, evangelism projects and on a university campus through English-speaking engagement opportunities.
GLOBAL SUMMIT 2025: Our team will assist in serving and supporting a scheduled South American City Summit. By 2050, urban areas will host two-thirds of the world’s population. These cities will include large slum areas, ethnic neighborhoods, migrants and refugees, young adults and working professionals. To effectively engage the remaining unreached people groups, IMB personnel need to be in cities.
IMB’s target in 2025 is to engage many Global Cities with comprehensive strategies so that every person in these cities will have access to the gospel. Our Global Cities Emphasis offers an unprecedented opportunity to impact people living in the largest and most influential cities on the continent of South America (TBD).

Grey Stone will send a 10-member medical mission team to the Roma Gypsies in Romania (a minority group on the edge of society in deep poverty). They will work with Hungarian Christians and an American missionary. This is a partnership with the NC Baptists on Mission.
FRANCE: Team E-France works alongside local partners in Strasbourg, France to support, model, and multiply church-planting work. We are in the process of launching a planting team in the most populated neighborhood of the city (45,000 residents and only 1 current evangelical church). At the same time, we’re helping with a church-planting training program and partnering with other local efforts to invite interns, students, and those interested throughout France to come and gain life experience in the work of evangelism, discipleship, and church-planting.
UKRAINE: We assist Baptists On Mission with scheduled teams currently serving Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in Western Ukraine. Projects include medical clinics and construction on a building to be used for feeding, medical clinics, and a church plant in Western Ukraine. Teams currently serve in the surrounding countries due to the war.
FUTURE PROJECTS: The world is coming to Europe. God has provided a partnership with a staff, team, and facility in three Major European cities: Madrid, Spain; Frankfurt, Germany, and London, UK. We will resource IMB personnel and local pastors in training local believers in leadership and simple evangelistic methods to share the gospel with people from their own culture and language group living in each city. Training methods focus on the simple teachings of Jesus so people can immediately train others to go out and are embodied in Training for Trainers (T4T) which has been extremely effective and adapted to the western context.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
