Evangelism Efforts to Share the Gospel & Inspire Hope in Tyler
Encounters of Grace Ministries believes everyone should have the opportunity to hear the message of Jesus Christ and respond to His call. Our evangelism efforts focus on building relationships, sharing hope, and encouraging lifelong faith. Through open-air crusades, personal outreach, and teaching, we bring the Good News directly to people where they live and gather.
Outside of our work in Tyler, our international and village ministry expands our reach to those who may have never heard the Gospel before. Every event is an opportunity to create a ripple effect of faith that continues long after the message is shared. We are committed to making Tyler a place where faith is alive and thriving. Work with us to inspire hope and spread the life-changing message of Christ across this city.
We Warmly Welcome Invitations to Share God’s Message

International
Each year, we venture deep into remote African villages, carrying the life-changing message of the Kingdom of Heaven with power and purpose. In places often untouched by traditional outreach, we witness miracles unfold—hearts healed, bodies restored, and hope awakened.
Our mission includes more than just preaching. We provide daily meals to those in need, host Spirit-charged, open-air crusades that draw massive crowds, and lead free pastoral training conferences to equip local leaders with practical tools and supernatural empowerment. These gatherings are filled with revelation, impartation, and the unmistakable presence of God.
Time and again, we see pastors reignited, the sick healed, and the oppressed set free—each moment revealing Jesus as King and drawing entire communities into His presence.

Global Connect
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new online platform, Global Connect Ministry, coming early 2026! Designed to empower pastors, church leaders, and believers in Uganda and Kenya, this digital hub will offer live Zoom trainings, interactive webinars, and downloadable resources—all focused on practical ministry growth and effective outreach. Whether you're in a bustling city or a rural village, this platform will be a place to learn, connect, and be encouraged. Together, we’ll sharpen our gifts, strengthen the Body of Christ, and expand the gospel with boldness and clarity.
Get ready—Global Connect is more than a platform; it’s a movement. We can’t wait to grow with you and see lives and nations transformed for the Kingdom!
Motorcycles for Ministers
One of our heartfelt initiatives at Encounters of Grace Ministries is to provide motorcycles for rural pastors. Many of these faithful ministers live and serve in some of the poorest and most remote villages, where reliable transportation is nearly nonexistent. For some, even owning a bicycle is considered a luxury.
We believe it’s time to bless those who are tirelessly laboring in the Gospel. A motorcycle becomes a life-changing gift—allowing pastors to reach more villages with the Good News, while also creating a source of income by enabling them to offer transportation services. Each motorcycle we place into the hands of a bush pastor is more than a vehicle—it’s an evangelical tool, a ministry lifeline, and a practical expression of the love of Christ. Our goal is to equip and empower as many ministers as possible, enabling them to go further, faster, and more frequently with the Gospel message.
"Every gift brings the Gospel closer. A $2,000 motorcycle can reach thousands. Will you help us send one?"
Sharing Bread
One of the greatest joys of ministry in rural Africa is sharing a meal with the people in the villages we serve. This year, during our multi-week mission trip, we will be providing a hot midday meal to everyone who attends—two days in each of 18 villages, for a total of 36 days of feeding. That’s 7,000 to 10,000 meals served to the hungry.
For many, this meal is a rare feast. For others, it may be their only meal of the day. Throughout the year, we also supply rice and beans to villages facing famine or food shortages—because no family should have to go without.
You can be part of this powerful expression of love. When you support "Sharing Bread with the Villages" through a monthly donation, you join hands with us in a very tangible way—bringing nourishment, joy, and hope to some of the world’s most vulnerable.
All monthly supporters receive our bimonthly newsletter, filled with stories, photos, and updates that show exactly how your support is changing lives.
Family helping family. Join us in feeding the villages.
