Imparting Grace Ministries, LLC was established by Deaconess Fran Jones. Its mission is to help create strong ministries to tend to the souls of women worldwide crossing barriers of church affiliation, race, language, nationalities or bias.
As part of the mission, Deaconess Jones has created a network of deaconess to share their wisdom, information and experience in fellowship. This network includes pastors, deacons, and at its core, is a unified body of deaconess who, by virtue of their agenda, are strategically in the wisdom and temperament to minister to and meet the needs of women. Such a network does not work in isolation, but in cooperation with pastors, the church, and deacons. Our pastors need help, not competition, to unify and meet the needs of the congregation. Such a dedicated body of deaconess is committed to modeling the ministry of Jesus as outlined in Luke 4:18.
I am convinced "the poor" referred to in Luke 4:18 are primarily "the poor in spirit" for such were the first category of humankind addressed in the beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount. We can clearly see the Spiritual poverty leads down a desolate road to broken-heartedness, spiritual captivity, spiritual blindness, emotional, psychological, and even mental bruising. Such is the sad and chaotic reality, not only of women who are not members of any church congregation, but women who are a part of almost every congregation. With such a dismal and depressing spiritual climate, I strongly believe that God desires to send forth deaconess united and armed with the liberating message of Christ. ~Deaconess Fran A. Jones
