Grace Bible Fellowship Missions
Grace Bible Fellowship has embraced God’s vision to evangelize and make disciples in various parts of the world. We are actively involved in evangelizing, discipleship, and church planting. Some of the countries we have impacted with the gospel are: Venezuela, Romania, Cuba, and Thailand. Many of our church members have taken part in short-term missionary trips in the above countries. G.B.F. has also sent out missionaries to plant churches in Venezuela. Other mission’s ministries include medical-aid to Cuba and Guatemala, sports outreach to Cuba and Venezuela.
