Our Missionaries
Christ’s command to “make disciples of all nations” in Matthew 28 is the mission of the church. At Grace Rancho we believe Christ intends to use the local church around the world to fulfill this mission. We aim to be a part of reaching the nations in our church and through supporting missions work around the globe. Below you can find a list of the missionaries we currently support. If you would like to know more about our missionaries, or learn how to contact and encourage them, please contact us.
