The church building project is still on the founding stages but is requiring many meetings. All this is due to the fact that, to avoid the huge costs, the church hasn't given the work to a contractor. Masons are building according to the execution plan that is given by a civi engineer, while our little volunteer team is keeping an eye on its correct execution. Only two of us cna read technical plans for construction. It makes things more difficult and takes much of our time. I am thankful for my (shortened) mechanical training that taught me about these kinds of drawings, and for my brother who is a civil engineer!
Welcome
Grace Missions, Inc. is based in Kansas. We support Grace Private School, a Christian school in Koro, Mali in several ways: by providing over half of the yearly budget, by providing jobs to an area rife with unemployment, by aiding in the continuing education of the school teachers, by intentional prayer for the students, teachers and village, and by helping with long term planning, discernment and capital improvements. Grace Missions improves the educational opportunities for these children and provides a biblical foundation to their lives by sharing our abundance with those that have very little. We provide hope and confidence for a better tomorrow. We feel that education is the key to lasting peace, social justice, and personal fulfillment in developing countries. Read through the blog, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and feel free to contact us for more information.

What an amazing sign of vitality and growth of the Church! Here is what Ibrahima says in his latest update:
