Overview
Mission
The purpose of Waters of Grace is to share the love and grace of Jesus Christ with people in need. Through God's word we learn that Jesus Christ brings us living water and grace upon grace. As disciples working together through Jesus Christ, Waters of Grace can (may) bring gifts of grace and love to make a difference in peoples' lives. Waters of Grace provides community to global outreach and discipleship which assists individuals or groups, whose needs may be, but are not limited to physical, financial, spiritual or educational, as well as support other organizations whose mission reflect the same.
What it reported doing in 2025
Outreach to Haitian Support/God's Lambs began in 2018. God's Lambs Orphanage was created in 2018 with 18 kids ages 3-11 living on the streets, homeless, starving and some of them sick. Many were abandoned so young that they didn't even know their names. In 2020, the orphans were moved to a safer location due to the political unrest in the country, and were joined by 6 other orphans being supported by a local church. Bunk beds were provided for the orphans, as well as goats and chickens. The children attended a local school in walking distance of their location, and received medical care when needed. 6 additional orphans were added in 2021. In 2023, due to political unrest and gang violence, the children were moved to safer locations either with extended family members or to a local church supported orphanage. In 2024, grants also include outreach to global charitable organizations for disaster relief and food distribution with an emphasis on serving children and widows. In 2025, grants were made to Haiti Mission of Hope and Care to build a brighter future for the Haiti island of La Gonave to transform lives through accessible healthcare, quality education and strong community support. School supplies and backpacks were given out to children, and a well was dug to provide water to the community. They are in the process of building a safe compound including an orphanage, school, clinic, church and garden.
