Transforming Lives “For Christ” through the Ministry of Grace Ministries for Christ (GMC)

Dear Church, Ministry, or School,

I am Rev. Dr. Yaron I. Kohen, Founder, President, and Senior Pastor of Grace Ministries for Christ (GMC), a gospel-centered, mission-driven, faith-based non-profit Christian Ministry Outreach (CMO). GMC is dedicated to fostering Christlikeness in individuals by promoting biblical thinking and empowering believers through God’s Word, the work of the Holy Spirit, and community involvement to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives. In short, to live by the design God created instead of living by one’s own design.

In a world dominated by self-centeredness and spiritual complacency, GMC believes the Church is called to be a beacon of unity and healing, driven by the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, God’s Word, emphasizing the Gospel of Jesus Christ—the ministry of reconciliation with the word of reconciliation. However, many churches have shifted their focus, turning worship into performance, preaching into philosophy, and Sunday gatherings into social events rather than opportunities to prepare hearts for true worship.

GMC seeks to restore this focus by emphasizing genuine worship and Christlike discipleship. Our mission is to transform lives by guiding individuals to live fully for Christ, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:14-21, Romans 10:9-10, Luke 9:23, and John 3:1-21.

Through GMC, individuals have found personal and corporate support in the following ways:

  • Biblical Counseling: Providing guidance rooted in Scripture to address life’s challenges—targeting intrapersonal conflict with biblical thinking.

  • Discipleship and Spiritual Formation: Training believers to grow in faith and maturity in Christ—provide small group opportunities for learning and growing.

  • Christian Education and Training: Equipping churches, ministries, and individuals with tools for effective ministry and personal growth—Christian curriculum designed specifically to meet the needs of people right where they are.

  • Pastoral Services: Offering support through preaching, teaching, and worship leadership, both domestic and international—currently serving at IAS Xela (Quetzaltenango, Guatemala) as a missionary Bible Teacher

  • Missionary Outreach: Sharing the Gospel and ministering to diverse communities worldwide—this work is ongoing.

The missionary and evangelical work of Rev. Dr. Kohen through GMC is dedicated to leading others to God through Christ, stepping out in faith to make disciples and standing boldly “For Christ!” on the front lines of Christianity.

All pastoral services provided by GMC are offered free of charge. However, if you feel led to support Rev.
