Join us for Christmas Eve

Lansing’s Bridge to Recovery is a volunteer effort and non-profit organization that is dedicated to assisting in gaining access to homes for the residents of Lansing and surrounding towns in Ashe County, North Carolina.

Their efforts are devoted solely to the repair of private residential driveways, culverts, and bridges that were destroyed during Hurricane Helene so that these residents can regain access to their jobs, daily lives, and medical necessities.

Our donations will go directly to the efforts described above and to efforts such as creek and river cleanup which directly impacts these accesses.

A crisis response team made up of Grace attendees recently worked with this organization during their trip to North Carolina and had the opportunity to make this needed connection.

Mission India is a missions organization that doesn’t send Western missionaries but instead trains and equips local Christians in India to do the work God has called them to do. Mission India’s three programs were created by Indians, for Indians. 100% of their ministry partners in India are Indian nationals!

Their three programs include Children’s Bible Clubs, Adult literacy Classes, and Church Planter Training.

Flooding in the summer and fall of 2024 have greatly impacted communities. Thankfully, the organization was able to fully fund  relief efforts to help meet immediate needs. But people are still trying to rebuild their lives, and Adult Literacy helps people rebuild for the long-term and opens doors to new sources of income and opportunities. 

Through literacy programs, 1,200 men and women will be given the opportunity to learn how to read and write along with learning biblical principles and the gospel message.  Many learners are invited to join training on entrepreneurship.  All learners are trained in health and hygiene and graduates achieve 5th grade level education, which is key to finding work in India. Not only are the individuals impacted by this program but entire families.
