CareNet Pregnancy Resource Centers CareNet Pregnancy Resource Centers' ministry focuses on providing abortion alternatives, as well as counseling for post-abortive women and their husbands. They maintain a 24-hour emergency hotline to help young mothers from making terrible mistakes with their lives. We have had the privilege of hearing the testimony of some representatives of CareNet, as well as attending the annual fundraising banquet. We support CareNet in an “as needed” way, through the Walk for Life campaign, at the Annual Fellowship Banquet and through Baby Showers for CareNet to help them restock their supply of baby supplies and maternity needs.

A team of 47 volunteers, including 25 from Grace Bible Church, returned to Youth Haven Bible Camp for KMM (www.kmminc.org) in Beattyville, Kentucky for a five day Dental Mission trip. They were able to minister to many who have no other access to dental care. This team is committed to serving others in the name of Jesus through providing quality dental care for no charge to demonstrate, in love, the “no charge” gift of eternal life that Christ gives to us.
Over a period of three days they:
saw 217 people
had 80 dental cleanings
did133 fillings,
did 415 extractions
had 13 other dental related procedures.
Each year a team of dentists, dental hygenists, and individuals and families head to Kentucky. Everyone has a job to do, whether working the sludge line or sitting down, one-on-one to counsel and share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
This year's Dental Trip is October 8 - 12
Information packets are available at church.
Meetings for the trip will be from 5-7pm on Sunday, August 15; Sunday, September 19 ; Sunday, October 3

Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005 devastated the Gulf Coast region. Homes and businesses were left in pieces or completely destroyed and the lives of families were forever changed.
From this disaster, the Lord has brought together the people of Mount Olive, Mississippi and the families of GraceBibleChurch. Several families from GBC have taken trips to the Gulf Coast area to help replenish supplies and bring some helping hands.
Through these efforts we had the great fortune of meeting Tony and Shannon Duckworth and have been blessed to join in their ministry efforts through Material Support, Child Sponsorships and Prayer.
Since 2005 we have sent several groups to Mt. Olive to assist in renovating part of their ministry building and have a summer camp and we have been blessed by their visits to Marshall, VA.
