Purpose of Grace Life Ministries Print E-mail

 

The purpose of The Grace Life Ministries is to teach and equip believers to experience, mature in, and effectively communicate the message of the Cross in their various spheres of influence.

 

The message taught is Biblical and Christ-centered. It is summarized in the words of Galatians2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. "Christians have been taught that Christ died for their sins; but only a few have been taught the truth that they died with Him. Christians know that they have been set free from the penalty for their sins, but they have not yet experienced daily victory over the dominating power of the flesh.

The message of the believer's identity with Christ is not new. It has been discovered, lived and preached by great men of faith down through the years. One of those being Hudson Taylor whose life was transformed through the discovery that his life had been exchanged for Christ’s. (link to Hudson Taylor’s letter) Through using the truths of the "Exchanged Life" (also known as The Grace Life) as a discipling method, countless Christians have been set free from bondage to their self-life.

The “Director of Grace Life Ministries”, Dallas Bergen is a member of the Association of Exchanged Life Ministries and qualified to conduct Exchanged Life Conferences, Grace Life Workshops, present other Grace Life teaching sessions and facilitate one on one discipleship meetings for the equipping of God’s children. For a complete list of the resources offered please go to the resources page. The Grace Life Ministry was begun at Parkdale to establish a resource center for the City of Calgary and Western Canada to teach the much neglected principles of the Exchanged Life and to supply ongoing teaching and discipling to encourage believers in their journey of living by grace.

We greatly value the prayers of the many individuals who have seen the life-changing effect in their own lives through this message of the Cross. Prayer support is vital to the work of this ministry as the spiritual opposition to the message of Grace is constant. (John 10:10) Financial support for this ministry has initially shouldered by Parkdale Grace Fellowship. This church fellowship has many individuals who have experienced the amazing wonder of having been set free from bondage to their self life and are walking by faith experiencing the abundance of life in Christ. If you believe in this life- changing ministry and would like to see it continue, we would like to extend to you the privilege of supporting this Grace Life Ministry. All contributions will be given a tax receipt.
