Please stand with us
“If anyone belongs to Christ, there begins a new creation. The old things have gone: everything is made new!”
2 Corinthians 5:17
There are more opportunities to bring the grace and love of God's Kingdom to Africa than ever before.
Grace & Light’s contribution springs from sharing a Gospel far greater than we have imagined. It literally takes us into the life of the new creation, shared with Christ and with each other in him. It is created in righteousness and transforms all we do.
If you want to see churches putting the new creation in Christ on display and standing out in their communities - modelling love, service, generosity and equality - then join with us.
If you want to see change in society on the issues we address – work and corruption, wealth and poverty, HIV/AIDS, inequality, sexual and gender-based violence – then please stand with us.
Together we can demonstrate the power of the Gospel in bringing hope and help churches model lives of righteousness.
