Abiding Vine International

                                     Registered nurses, Teresa Messina and daughter Annah Bravata partner with Grace Fellowship Missions Dominican Republic 2021 teaching emergency and first aid to nationals, equipping and empowering them to provide emergency and basic healthcare in villages that have no healthcare and access to medical clinics.

Abiding Vine International Ministries is a non for profit 501(c)(3) organization that seeks to abide in God, the creator of life, light and the highest form of love. In doing so, it is our desire to bring light into places of darkness, hope and love where there is despair and devasting poverty and hopelessness. 

Our goal is to demonstrate and encourage others to bring God's love to individuals and communities in need. We partner with God, by His Holy Spirit, being directed to people and places, "to heal the broken hearted, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, set the oppressed free, and seek to break every yoke of bondage" (Isaiah 58:7-10). 

We believe the infallibility of the Bible as sacred and inspired by God. We are instructed and guided in wisdom and truth, equipped and abled by His Holy spirit to demonstrate his miraculous power. Through His son Jesus Christ, the hope of glory, we respond to a world in need with the light He illuminates through us.

We are confident that it is God's perfect will and desire to care for the whole person all around us. We tend to the physical body to heal and be well, calm the troubled mind, empower soundness and peace in thought to the emotionally traumatized, and minister love of God to the soul and spirit. 

Through the love of God, individual lives are changed and transformed into wholeness. Families are restored and whole communities flourish with light and fruitfulness. 

The purposes of Abiding Vine International are:

1. To extend a hand of love, through God, reaching out to those struggling with life circumstances.
