May 2017
- Kingdom International Ministries with Mark and Robyn Sewell is rasing funds for a video projection system to evangelize in Guatemala and we were able to help them with this. This is fertile soil.

- Grace House participated in fund raisers for our Students who are going to Toledo, Ohio to minister in the inner city.

- We sowed into the ministry of Charles Carrin across three wonderful weekends during the month of May and early June.

April 2017
-Charles Carrin will be with us on Sunday, April 2. Bro. Charles has a ministry that has global impact and is known for ministering to people in God's love and power. This is good soil to sow in to impact people beyond the walls of Grace House.

- Casey Doss from the Ramp will be with us on Sunday, April 23rd. Casey also travels to the nations as well as ministering internationally through television to awaken a generation to God. He was with us in January and our people are still talking about the word he shared with us. A great opportunity to pour into the arising generation and to touch people around the world.

March 2017
Pastor Eddie will be ministering in South Korea for nine days preaching and teaching on the Ministering in Kingdom Power and Authority. He will be ministering to Leaders and students who are very hungry to know more about the Holy Spirit, His gifts, and power. Please pray that Pastor Eddie will hear clearly as he has the opportunity to minister prophetically to each person in attendance at the Spiritual Coaching Schools in which he will be ministering.There will be an opportunity to sow into this trip this coming Sunday at GH.

Also we are excited about Blake Kasmeir going to Vietnam and James Nesbit ministering in Israel in the month of March. We will be praying for them in our services and GH will also sow into these trips as well through your regular giving. In addition, we will also be sowing in the Ricketts ministry in Thailand as they reach the children who are suffering due to human trafficking. We are grateful to be able to sow into other ministries on a regular basis as well. God blesses the people who bless missions!

Shoals Sav-A-Life - We are filling baby bottles with coins, cash, and checks to help pregnant women to choose life. Shoals Sav-A-Life has many services that help the unborn to be protected and also services that help pregnant mothers in need. A very worthy cause. Let's bless them. Please pick up one of the baby bottles in the Commons Area and take it home and bring it back filled with coins, cash, and/or check. Make checks to Shoals Sav-A-Life.

In January, GH has also sown into Kingdom Connections International, Restoration Ranch, Joni Ames Prophetic Ministry, Alabama Statewide Kingdom Leaders Gathering, and Casey Doss Ministry in addition to our ongoing missions giving.
