Paradise Church of Puerto Vallarta truly was blessed with a real Christian ‘farmer’ from B.C. Canada ... one whose focus is the ‘proper sowing of the seeds and not just the harvest’ and thus, serving families born into poverty. Since Ed and spouse Jo-Ann’s first mission trip to Puerto Vallarta in 2007, Paradise Church became their ‘Church away from home’ and more recently their ‘year-round home Church’.
Ed has built a thriving financial planning practice www.graingerwealthmanagement.com all the while his first breath focus is on Christ, growing his marriage, being a dad & ‘gramps’, and gifting time, experience and financial resources to the Christian Church. Ed & Jo quickly saw that the teaching sermons of Pastor Ric and Joy Lehman provide ‘raw & real’ practical, Scripture-sourced messages for enjoying all of the benefits of a daily Christ-focused life.
As an Advisory Team member, Ed’s focus is assisting Paradise Church leadership to define and achieve their Christ-serving goals. Of course, financial accountability is a lead role.
A go-to Bible verse for Ed is:
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
