Who We Are
“for by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Eph 2:8-9)
Nancy was born and raised in New Jersey and is the only girl sibling of 5 in total. She married Jorge, who is originally from El Salvador, in 2013 and relocated to Nantucket, MA, where they currently live with their son Nathaniel. They are members of the local church ministry, Iglesia Faro de Luz en Nantucket, Inc. since 2013. Nancy’s first mission trip at the age of 16 to Guayaquil, Ecuador served to confirm her desires and experienced a growing heart for world missions. After partaking in several other trips throughout the years, in 2018, God grants the Rodriguez family the opportunity to share her experiences of world missions. As newlyweds in 2013, Jorge and Nancy Rodriguez decided to found the non-profit together and came up with the name Faith & Grace International Ministries, but with other hurdles and responsibilities, they decide to wait for the right time to do so, acknowledging there was a lot to do to get organized. It is in 2020, that they finally decide to walk by faith in finally founding and organizing the non-profit ministry. They are convinced that the Lord who has put the desire in their heart to start something in which they have never led before will be the one to train, equip, provide strategies, make the connections, and draw the hearts of many others to help and serve with them.

Vision
We believe that Christ came to a lost world to provide hope and salvation through his ministry on earth. Although the root of his purpose was to preach the gospel (good news), he did so by providing hope to a world that needed a savior. Not only did he provide relief to the hungry, healing to the sick, and peace to the broken-hearted, but he fulfilled his mission by giving his life. Acknowledging his sacrifice on the cross is complete, our vision is set on proclaiming the gospel, “for by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Eph 2:8-9) But we realize that through our actions of serving like Christ, can we advance in helping a world who needs to not only hear about the love of God, but see it. Freely you have received, freely give. (Matthew 10:8b).
Mission
Promote and share the love of Christ through his examples of acts of service to a world in need. This is accomplished through existing national churches and their local pastors, as well as, local leaders of King’s Castles Ministries.
Pray for us.
Please join us in prayer as we continue to ask the Lord for his guidance and direction in leading this ministry as we do not want to simply be guided by our emotions, but really step out of the box and leave a legacy of His love in this world.
As projects continue to unravel and we see the opportunities we will be updating this page.
