The Church
The ExChange

Luther called 2 Cor. 5:21 the Glorious Exchange. This is the verse where we are basing the downtown DuBois ministry of Grace Reformed Presbyterian Church. The following is our announcement of the ministry:

The ExChange

The ExChange is a ministry built upon the Words of Scripture,
especially 2 Corinthians 5:21 which teaches as follows:

For our sake He made Him to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

The ExChange stands for changed lives that can only come about through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ whereby He takes away our sin and grants to us a new life by faith in Him alone.

The ExChange is about proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the message of life over death, light over darkness, freedom over slavery and eternal life over eternal death.

We begin at the building this weekend. Our goal is to let these folks who know not the Savior that we are here in the community…their community at the corner of Jared and Long. We want them to know we love them and want to see their lives changed the only way possible…through faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. But, we want to be able to help them deal with the practical things too. We want them to understand that a Christian is the most responsible of citizens…they work, support their families and meet their obligations. Faith in Christ is not the end of your problems, but the beginning of dealing with them.

Take the first ReStart session. Charles and Bob delivered the Gospel and I spoke to them of the responsibilities of a Christian man or women and walking in the path of righteousness which will keep them out of prison. One of the inmates said: “I know what you say is right. I want to have my life changed. I don’t want to come back here again. But, I am going home in thirty days to a dad who is a user and a family of offenders who know no other way.” This is where we…that is all who claim the Name of Christ…come in. We must point this man to the Savior AND THEN help him to understand what it means to LIVE the LIFE in a world that despises the Lord of his salvation. Some of the circumstances people emerging from prison face are foreign to us, but it is the way it is for many. What does one do when his own family is the source of his continuing sin? Salvation belongs to the Lord alone. Our obligation is to deliver the Good News and come along side ALL His children to nurture, discipline and assist them in all things, including the practical matters of life, as they attempt to walk in the new life He gives them.

Pray for The ExChange as we attempt to do just that in DuBois…and by God’s grace we will.
