Evangelism Ministry

Terry and Sue Luma, founders of If Not For Grace Ministries, lead our Evangelism Ministry. The team's mission is to serve the community in ways that draw people closer to Jesus through acts of love and care.

After years of ministry work with organizations and churches both in the United States and abroad, the Lord called the Lumas to establish If Not For Grace Ministries. Partnering with other ministries, they provide mobile hot showers, food, clothing, medical care, and opportunities for detox in the name of Jesus. With love, compassion, and the gospel of Christ, the ministry reaches the poor and powerless, the lost, lonely, addicted, homeless, and those in bondage. The ministry also has an active branch in Malawi, Africa, serving villages to the glory of God.

We support the Lumas in this calling as they minister to the homeless in Kensington, Somerset, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City. The ministry provides showers, food, clothing, prayer, and the gospel, while also seeking opportunities to be present at local community events to connect with people and pray with them.
