PRAYER AND COUNSELING
At Grace Center, we offer prayer and counseling for every person who comes, including all our employees and students, as well as those just coming for water. The day begins with prayer among our staff and then throughout the day, every person who comes is offered prayer and counseling. We asked them about their relationship with God and share the story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and how he died for them. People are overjoyed to immediately pray. We also have an in-depth healing prayer program where we see many miracles of both physical and spiritual healing.

FEEDING PROGRAM
The feeding program is the first response when a new family comes to the center. We are able to offer food and nourishment until the family is able to begin supporting themselves and providing their own food. Everything is reviewed in a case-by-case basis and some people remain on the feeding program long term, such as pregnant and nursing mothers, people unable to work due to disabilities or other illnesses, orphaned children, and sponsored students.
We also provide food during disasters such as the covid closures as well as providing for thousands of refugees.Grace Center provides more than 2000 meals a day to the children in the program and others in need. During the pandemic and war, Grace Center fed nearly 10,000 people.
MEDICAL CARE
Hope Memorial Medical Care was founded after tragically watching a small baby die from starvation. Her name was Hope. This seven-month-old child weighed less than a newborn. After this trauma, we at Grace Center vowed to do everything in our power to keep children and parents healthy. This medical program is staffed by two nurses full-time. Along with caring for immediate medical needs, Hope Memorial Medical Care offers weekly check-ups, and classes for mothers in health and hygiene. We have also been able to provide surgery for children and women in desperate situations.
PROVIDING WATER
Water is shut off 90% of the time in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. Realizing the enormous gravity of this need for water, Grace Center was able to dig a 300-foot a deep well. This well is overflowing! There is enough water to provide for the entire city of Bahir Dar, about half a million people. Grace Center opened this to the public and is providing water for anyone in need. Christ ministered to the woman at the well. Over 1,000 come to Grace Center's well every day, and are ministered to with fresh water and Jesus’ living water.
