Since 1963, David and Grace Shenk worked together to bear witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ through word and deed. A signature focus of their ministry was the work of Christian-Muslim relations. You’re invited to join in the continuation of this legacy by becoming a founding partner in this endowment. Funds generated by the David and Grace Shenk legacy endowment will help us connect with our global partners, mentor a new generation of young leaders, and to create resources for equipping the church and Christ followers for a healthy relationship with Muslims.
