In the book, "The GOD ASK - A Fresh, Biblical Approach to Fully Funding Your Ministry" written by Steve Shadrach we've recently been reminded in an article written by Gary and Pat Cruce shared with Free Methodist missionaries, of a different perspective we're to have in our motivation when seeking funds for the ministries God gives us.  There's a great quote in the book where Steve says, "Many of the doubts and fears I had associated with support raising were relieved when I stopped thinking of it as the "Steve Ask" and started thinking of it as the "God Ask". 

Our motivation - It's a "God Ask"  for his glory not a "Don and Kathy" or "Grace International School Ask".  We see the conversations we are having with folks in Asia and will be having in other parts of the world in the coming months, in reality, is not us asking for funds for Grace International School.  Rather it is God, through us, asking individuals, churches and denominations to partner with Him to change the world through the synergy that comes through the work of the Holy Spirit and with the 337 missionary family's ministries who because Grace International School exists have a great place to educate their children.


We are only the instruments that the Lord uses to accomplish His purposes.  It is God asking people to share their resources so that He might be glorified in the 24 countries where the parents of Grace International School students minister.  Here's a map showing those locations: 




Your holding our rope in prayer in this critical time is to partner and join with Him to change the world through Grace.  Please pray that God's people might hear the message of the vital role Grace plays in God's kingdom and hear God being the one who is asking.  Through it all may His Name be lifted up and glorified throughout this region - the most unreached part of the world.
