Paul’s Case for Grace:

1. Our Motive
1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1 (NASB)

Freedom –
Stand firm –
Don’t Submit –

2. Our Opportunity
13 For you were called to freedom brother; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”.
15 But if you bite and devour on another, take care lest you be consumed by one another.
16 But I say walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:13-16 (NASB)

Opportunity –
Love –
Walk –

3. Our Means
24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let also walk by the Spirit.
26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5:24-26 (NASB)

Crucified flesh –
Live and walk –
Stay humble –

Grace Kitchen

Amanda Lorraine, Founder & CEO

Grace Kitchen is a ministry that exists in order to empower and employ women out of poverty in the Tri-Cities area through the daily work of discipleship, friendship, job training, and employment. We seek to meet the needs of some of the most marginalized women in our city and proclaim the amazing news of our risen Savior. Through the production of our gourmet dried food products, catering, and eventually having a food truck and a retail store, we equip women in our city to become confident, self sufficient and Christ dependent. This ministry enables women to learn to work and eventually support themselves and their families apart from relying solely on government programs or destructive relationships.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for me as the director to steward the time I have well, and for wisdom from God to lead this organization with Christ-centered humility, boldness, and courage that only comes from the Lord.
• Pray for our protection as we are in a more dangerous area of our city, and it is all women in the building most of the time.
• Pray for Sue (Assistant director) as she works directly with the ladies assisting them with tutoring, computer skills, resumes, & discipling. This isn’t an easy job when you are working with women who have experienced a lot of trauma in their lives.
• Pray for our Thursday leadership team, that God would continue to give them wisdom and truth to speak as they walk alongside new women each week. We often see the effects of trauma, prostitution, and addiction, and we need the Holy Spirit to guide each of us as we seek to tenderly care for these women’s needs.
• Pray for the women currently enrolled in our program that they would see Jesus for who He really is and want to fully surrender their lives to Him.
• Pray for the women that God would provide housing, stability, and continued sobriety so they can be fully reunited with their children.
• Pray for these women that they would learn the truth of God’s word and find their hope and salvation in Christ alone through the numerous bible studies we teach weekly.

To make a one-time gift (love offering) to Grace Kitchen you may choose “Missionary of the Month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here. Alternatively, you may visit their website to contribute directly to them.
