Grace Ministries International

Training

Jesus said that we would know the truth and that the truth would set us FREE—Free to really enjoy life in Christ; freedom to walk in victory over doubts, fear, and sin's powerful grasp on our lives. You may be wondering, "but how?" Our training and programs will help you to make these things real and active in your life. Following is a description of our various training events.

Grace Life Conference

The purpose of this life-changing conference is to introduce and expose attendees to the message of Christ as Life. The conference has been designed to teach others how to consistently experience God’s love, joy and peace in the midst of life’s busyness and stress. This is not just another seminar that teaches behavioral modification, but a life-transforming experience empowered by the Holy Spirit to communicate the indwelling, empowering presence of Christ as Life.

Grace Life Conferences address these issues with a two-fold thrust:

To provide biblical truths which reveal how one may appropriate his identity in Christ and experience the exciting reality of Christ living His life through the believer. Essentially, it is learning how to live the “Grace-Life” – the life God intended us to live.

To provide spiritual renewal through an understanding of how personal needs such as emotional struggles over pride and superiority or prior pain, loss or a sense of inadequacy, may be resolved through discovering Christ as our life.
