CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
Wooster Grace partners with many people and organizations in the Central African Republic. 
For over forty years Grace Church has initiated partnerships with missionaries through Encompass World Partners.  Grace Church sent George and Jane Peters to help with the new work in the Central African Republic. Through the insight and passion of Pastor Ken Ashman, Wooster Grace Brethren Church extended its international staff to the heart of Africa.

Ministry Partnerships:
We support the ministries of the Grace Brethren Seminary in the capital city of Bangui as we help with the construction of the James Gribble Leadership Training Center, Project Hope & Charite where we help assist orphan care for over 400 children, Water for Good (formerly ICDI--Integrated Community Development International) where we help bring the Gospel to villages and help facilitate wholistic health for families through water well drilling, and VisionTrust where we help with orphan care of 684 displaced children.

International Staff:
Tom & Sue PetersOur international staff includes Pastor Tom & Sue Peters. Pastor Tom serves with VisionTrust International (VTI) as Relationship Manager for orphan care development.  Pastor Tom leverages his Central African experience as a missionary-child to build better relationships for VTI.

Please pray for God to help us reach the displaced, the hopeless, and the hurting. Ask God to empower our efforts to develop fully devoted followers of Christ.  Thanks to Prayercast for this video. View it. Then pray.

Please give to help with the relief efforts. We are partnering with Encompass World Partners to provide food and farming needs so that families can take care of themselves this harvest and the harvests to come.   You can give right now by clicking here.
