The Gravier's Newsletter - Click here

The Graviers are missionaries with Heaven Sent Ministries in Princeton, WV where Mike and Lynda are the Directors of Local Outreach. Much of their responsibility involves hosting short-term mission teams that come to WV to share the love and message of Jesus Christ by meeting people's physical, emotional and spiritual needs. However, because Heaven Sent Ministries is a small organization and has many facets, they find themselves involved in lots of different aspects of ministry.

Mike is a former college football coach who now works hands-on with mission teams as they do home repairs for needy families. Mike also manages all of the preliminary contacts with groups interested in short-term missions in Appalachia, working to match the group's abilities and interests with different ministry options. Mission teams typically spend their week doing home repair and outreach to children, families, and the elderly in our community. Mike also manages HSM's website and has recently returned to football, coaching part-time and reaching out to coaches and athletes in a new facet of ministry.

Lynda, a former CPA, assists with the accounting at HSM and also does much of the planning and organizing related to the short-term mission teams, including creating their ministry schedules, planning and cooking meals, and making lodging arrangements. In addition, Lynda home schools two of their children.

Anna (17) is a freshman at Duke University, where she is majoring in Spanish and Latin American Studies and minoring in Chemistry. She believes that God is leading her to prepare for a career in medicine, so she can serve the people of Latin America with quality health care. Anna received this inspiration during medical mission trips to Nicaragua and two internships with missionaries in the Dominican Republic.

Kevin (14) is a freshman/sophomore in a homeschool setting. HIs interests include sports, architectural design, and reading. Molly (12) is interested in becoming a veterinarian. Right now she works one day a week at a local veterinarian's office, absorbing all she can about the profession. Molly is in the 7th grade. Both kids are involved with HSM by helping to host summer mission teams, assisting with local food packagings, and pitching in wherever they are needed.
