A Spiritual Journey of Faith and Sacrifice
For the Sake of Others was an inspiring financial campaign in which our church gave sacrificially from May 2022 to September 2024 towards two endeavors: a church plant in Haiti and a family training center in Southeast Fort Wayne.
Haiti
Half of all funds given during For the Sake of Others went to partnering with our Christian brothers and sisters in Haiti as we planted a church in Cap-Haitian on the northern coast of the country.
In the past two years, it has been remarkable to see God move. Not only did people's generosity in Fort Wayne help build a church facility and parsonage on the land, but the church there have been the hands and feet of Jesus in their community.
They have earnestly prayed for their country, welcomed in refugees from gang-run villages, shared the gospel, baptized many, and so much more. Open the impact report below to get a sense of how God has been at work for years.

Who are a part of the church as of the end of the campaign
"I want to say hello to you all in the family of Jesus, and I want to also thank God for His grace and mercy. Without Him, I don’t know where we would be today. I also want to say thank you to those whom God gave the vision for what’s taking place down here. Thank you that you didn’t just come and do your own thing but waited on the Lord and did exactly what He has placed on your hearts. I thank God for all of His blessings!"
— Rosemond Aristhome (Wife of Pastor Patrice)
"This church brings light in the dark. Gangs took all we had—our home. When we left our village to move to Cap-Haitian, the only place we could find refuge was Grace Church. We thank Pastor Patrice whom God placed there to receive us with great hospitality. We thank those in the U.S. as well. If not for you, we wouldn't be here. We will not stop thanking God for this church. By the work of the church, we are seeing lives changing!"
— Dashka Joseph (Member of Grace Haiti)
"The gang violence and political unrest made it difficult to have clarity about anything. There was so much uncertainty and instability, not only for us but for our family and extended family. Rosemond said to me that she needed to hear from the Lord, first, before we make such a decision to move... That night she had a dream where she and the kids were on a bus to O'Cap and God kept them safe. When she awoke she knew it was the confirmation from the Lord."
— Pastor Patrice
Southeast Fort Wayne
For years, both Grace Gathering and New Life Church of God have desired to see God move in southeast Fort Wayne. Half of all funds given through For the Sake of Others went to establishing a new non-profit called the Oxford Dream Center, dedicated to serving and investing in the kids and families of the Oxford neighborhood.
It's been incredible to see the steady growth of impact in just a couple years. We went from a small group from the church hosting "Soccer Thursdays" each week to a fully established non-profit with two weekly nights of programming, hiring a director in Drew Woodsdon, hosting family investment courses, and more!
