At Grace, we are committed to supporting communities locally and globally. Below is a list of organizations & people we’re partnered with.
THE HEFFNERS
Mark & Laura Heffner have served in Taiwan as missionaries from 1991 to 2019 and - during that time - raised their two kids, Anna Li & Daniel. They have assisted Taiwanese Christians in the local church and schools in sharing the gospel in their communities, churches, school and other spheres of influence. They were actively involved with the community through preaching, teaching English, & distributing Bibles and deeply connected with the Taiwanese people through mentoring and meals. They returned to the States in 2019; however, their passion and mission to make disciples of all nation have remained strong.
Mark & Laura are currently working with CMC located in Houston, TX.
