Local & Global Missions
God has called us to be Kingdom-minded. One of the ways we answer that call is through local and global missions.
By partnering with missionaries locally and throughout the world, Peace Church Wayland can bring the love and truth of Jesus Christ to places we would never reach on our own. From our county jail to GVSU to India, the people of Peace Church are building the kingdom of God globally through our support of missionaries and mission organizations.
​
We ask that you join us in supporting, both financially and prayerfully, the gospel work our missionaries are involved in all over the world.
Mission India
Mission India's vision is to see India transformed by the love of Christ. Their mission is to equip India's Christians to plant reproducing churches. They accomplish this through children's Bible clubs, adult literacy classes, and church planter training.
Here at Peace Church Wayland, we are partnered with two missionaries in India. Both families have started and continue to lead and support at least five small churches in different villages in India.
Steve & Alyssa Hintz
Peace Church Wayland proudly supports Steve and Alyssa Hintz, who serve with CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. Their heart is to reach college students with the life-changing message of Jesus, helping them grow in faith and become lifelong disciples who influence the world for Christ.
​
Through personal discipleship, campus Bible studies, evangelism, and leadership development, Steve and Alyssa are investing in the next generation during one of the most formative seasons of life. We’re honored to partner with them in this gospel work and invite you to pray for their family and the students they serve at GVSU.
Sarah Jantzen - Uganda
Sarah runs a child protection training program called Reclaiming Hope that sets up church/faith-based child protection units in villages across Uganda. She currently is opening an emergency shelter for teenage survivors of sexual abuse called Path of Hope. Sarah raises 14 kids while ministering to her neighbors in Nasenyi Village through education support and Bible studies. Sarah’s future goal to be happening in 2025 is having a school feeding program that will be called Mukisa Meals.
RTF Jail Ministry
Peace Church Wayland is honored to support Reach the Forgotten Jail Ministry, a Christ-centered organization bringing the hope of the gospel to incarcerated men and women across Michigan. Their mission is simple but powerful: to share the love, truth, and transforming grace of Jesus with those behind bars.
​
Through Bible studies, chaplain care, mentoring, and prayer, Reach the Forgotten meets inmates right where they are with the good news that no one is beyond God’s reach. We believe in their work to restore lives and rebuild hope—and we invite you to pray for the chaplains, volunteers, and inmates impacted by this vital ministry.
