Delta Grace
Project Information
Matching mission teams with those in need of home repair within the Mississippi Delta.
Describe the need affecting community
How will this Advance project help to address the need?
We do not address directly their financial needs but we do offer to help them live in a safer and healthier environment. Many homes we work on have rotten floor board in which small children and elder adults have fallen through. Many homes have plumbing issues such as no flushable toilets, or even running water throughout the home. The majority of the homes have leaking roofs which leads to decaying of the rest of the home as well as mold and mildew issues. We are able to work on these homes at no cost to the homeowner to improve their living environment.
Describe the primary goal of the project
The primary goal of Delta Grace is to bring healing and wholeness to a hurting community. By reaching out in the love of Jesus Christ and to bring together those that are willing to serve. With those that are in need in a way that shows everyone involved that God’s light shines on all people and in many different ways.
Describe the change you would like to see in the community as a result of this Advance project
Our hope is that God will use this ministry to help heal race relations and open the eyes of many who do not see value in all of God’s people. In a region where race relations are often strained, Delta Grace shows that God’s grace is available to all. It also shows how all Christians help one another regardless of race. We are all God’s children and we are here to serve one another.
