Gratia Continues on Campus Evangelism and Bible Study with Newcomer

Gratia Church carried out a graceful campus evangelism, followed by a meaningful Bible study with a newcomer. During the evangelism, ministers and students engaged with many on campus, sharing God’s love and inviting them to Bible studies and fellowship. Several students showed interest, and the ministers are praying that they will join in the coming week.

Afterward, a Bible study was held with newcomer who studied Romans 1. She expressed deep passion for learning God’s Word and shared her desire to serve God in her own ways. The time was filled with grace, and the ministers were encouraged by her sincere heart and eagerness to grow spiritually. We pray that God continues to open doors on campus and leads many thirsty souls to His truth.

The Midwives who Feared God

Exodus 1:1-22 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.

The Power of Forgiveness

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Grace-Filled Sunday with Guest Speaker and Visiting Family Members

Gratia Church experienced a grace-filled Sunday worship service on June 29, joined by guest speaker Pastor Larry Wesley and visiting family members.

Pastor Larry Wesley delivered a powerful sermon from Genesis 22, calling the congregation to live with authenticity and true repentance. Reflecting on Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac in obedience to God, Pastor Wesley emphasized that genuine faith is not merely about outward acts of devotion, but about inward surrender-marked by trust, integrity, and obedience to God’s voice, even when it requires deep sacrifice.

He challenged the congregation to lay down personal idols, confront hidden compromises, and return wholeheartedly to the Lord. True worship, he reminded, comes from a heart that yields fully to God in humility and truth. After the service, everyone shared grace from the Word and had fellowship, enjoying a joyful Sunday meal together. It was a beautiful and strengthening moment to see families and friends gathered in unity to worship. May the work of the Holy Spirit continue to dwell in the hearts of all who attended.

The day began with a solemn and moving message from Pastor Walker on John 19, reflecting on the deep suffering and sacrificial love of Jesus who bore the cross for the salvation of all. The retreat attendees were led to reflect on the cost of the cross and the overwhelming grace poured out through Christ’s obedience unto death.

The retreat concluded with a heartfelt time of testimonies, as attendees shared the grace they had received throughout the weekend—from the Word, fellowship, prayer, and every moment spent together in God’s presence. As the retreat came to an end, hearts were renewed, faith was deepened, and many left with a clearer vision of the living Christ in their lives.
