The Invitation
To the “Hungry” and “Thirsty” for Him:
On behalf of the ministry of Grace and Truth Fellowship International, we invite youto visit and be a part of our scheduled Worship Services. We want you to know that you are welcome to join us as we gather unto the “exalted” Lord Jesus Christ. We are “graced” to experience the faithful manifestation of His “awesome” Presence as well as receive a “fresh” WORD that ministers wisdom, encouragement, and comfort relevant to our being “over-comers” in the vicissitudes of Life. The occasion to be able to fellowship with you in “worship” will indeed be to us a special “blessing” and we believe will encourage and “edify” you. Our prayer is that His “grace and peace” would be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus, our Lord [2nd Peter 1:2]
Because of Him, we are here for YOU,
Grace and Truth Fellowship International
