Ebenezer Grace Ministries of Africa

ESMA’s motivation is to share the love of Christ with the people of Africa by providing housing, food, education, spiritual encouragement and love for orphans and vulnerable children, and establishing sustainable programs to assist poverty-stricken families to be self-supporting.

Their mission is founded on Isaiah 1:17, “Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.”

We have a special tie to Ebenezer Grace ministries, as Rachele Ayele grew up in Summit County.

It is our joy to partner with them and support their ministry through prayer and financial means.

“Then Jesus said to the centurion, 'Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.' And his servant was healed at that moment” (Matthew 8:13).
There are commonly held assumptions that we are owners…owners of our finances, owners of our business, owners of our bodies, and owners of our destiny. But believers in Jesus Christ have a higher allegiance to Almighty God, who is the owner of everything. Screwtape, the demon in C.S. Lewis’ creative classic, admonishes the allusion to human ownership as one of hell’s tactics: “The sense of ownership, in general, is always to be encouraged. The humans are always putting up claims to ownership which sound equally funny in Heaven and in Hell, and we must keep them doing so. Much of the modern resistance to chastity comes from men’s belief that they ‘own’ their bodies—those vast and perilous estates, pulsating with the energy that made the worlds in which they find themselves without their consent and from which they are ejected at the pleasure of Another!... We produce this sense of ownership not only by pride but by confusion. We teach them not to notice the different senses of the possessive pronoun—the finely graded differences that run from ‘my boots’ through ‘my dog,’ ‘my wife,’ my husband,’ and ‘my country’ to ‘my God.’" Human nature seeks to exert energy to control what’s mine, yet the Scripture clearly states that the Lord is in control and He is the owner of everything and in control of everything. By faith, we stop striving in our own energy and tap into eternal energy that gives rest and restores the soul.
Good Friday’s walk to the cross gave us space for meditation and prayer. It was a beautiful way to reflect on why we celebrate and anticipate Easter Sunday. Join us at CMC, 9:30 am to worship together.
