Many of you know Grace Usher as your child's dance teacher. She's an incredible dancer, a wonderful person, and we're so thankful to have her as part of the Destiny Dance Center family!
Grace has dedicated her life to sharing the love of Jesus with people here at home and around the world. Now, she is stepping into a new season of ministry (don't panic - she is still teaching at the studio too)
We'd love to invite you to partner with Grace through prayer and, if you're able, financial support. Every gift will help equip her and support the work of sending others around the world to share the Gospel.
Please read Grace's message below and prayerfully consider supporting her at reliant.org/grace.usher
Over the past several years, God has grown my heart for ministry through short-term mission trips, serving in children's ministry, dance ministry, mentoring young girls, and discipleship. Through these experiences, I have become increasingly burdened for people to truly know the love of Jesus and to be discipled in the truth of God's Word.
I have had the privilege of experiencing the transforming love of God in my own life and witnessing Him do the same in the lives of others. There is nothing I want to give my life to more than serving the Kingdom of God.
After much prayer and confirmation, I have accepted a full-time ministry residency with the Church of Eleven22 beginning in August. This residency will allow me to grow in leadership, discipleship, and hands-on ministry as I continue to pursue the calling God has placed on my life.
I will have the opportunity to walk alongside trained mentors on our church's missions team and put what I learn into practice. Along with being sent to the nations, I'll also learn what it looks like to equip and send mission teams around the world with the hope of the Gospel. Each week, I'll continue studying hermeneutics and theology while engaging in meaningful discussions and applying biblical truth to real-life ministry.
As I prepare to step into this next season, I am building a team of prayer and financial partners who feel led to invest in what God is doing through this residency. Whether through a one-time gift or ongoing monthly support, your partnership would mean so much. More than anything, I would love your prayers as I take this next step of faith.
