Our Story
How Bridge to Grace Ministries was BORN.
It all started June 2014, I was in Nicaragua on a Business trip, with me was my then 10 Year old son Edward. During my free time I would go and minister at local churches, then I was invited to give a greeting word at ministers conference. When I started to speak the Holy Spirit got a hold of me and after the conference Pedro Pablo Rojas (he was then AG Missions Director of Nicaragua) said that he wanted to meet with me. We met next day June 12th at a coffee shop and he said “God has brought you to Nicaragua and what is your vision for our country and how can I help you” When he said that I heard a Voice that said “SPEAK” At that moment something amazing happened, I received an understanding what I should do, the vision and I began to speak it.
The revelation and vision that I received at that coffee shop has completely changed my life and gave a major push to start a ministry.
Few month later September 2014 I returned back to Nicaragua and had invited my Dad (Andrey Semenyuk, my father in law (Viktor Limonchenko) and two of my brothers (Nick & Yuri Semenyuk) to come.
I arrived few day earlier and on September 19th I had a scheduled meeting with Nicaraguan Assemblies of God Superintendent Saturnino Cerrato to ask him for his blessing. While I was sitting in the office I already had a name in mind for ministry, then all of the sudden I received a text message from my wife “what do you think about naming ministry Bridge to Grace. So I asked Saturnino and gave the ministry name options and he told me that I should listen to my wife, because that was a really good name. That is how the name Bridge to Grace Ministries was born.
September 24th, we were invited to meet with the Board of Directors of Nicaraguan Assemblies of God, talked to them about our vision and asked for their Blessing. During trip we were also invited to speak about our ministry on local Christian TV station.
Ever Since we have been working in Nicaragua!

On the trips that I took with BTGM, I personally saw their passion for the lost, the commitment
to conquer the physical challenges of reaching remote locations with the Good News,
and love for the children living in very poor conditions.

I have been to Nicaragua with BTGM 2 times and I was touched by the work that the ministry does. BTGM is planting a beautiful seed, and perhaps the beginning of the last harvest for the Kingdom of God.

Serving with BTGM has been one of my best experiences serving God. Being able to see great love of God brought to the Miskito people is something that has definitely impacted my life.

The Passion that God instilled into the BTGM leadership is overwhelming. Every trip that the team makes, every piece of clothing that the team distributes, and every prayer that is spoken over the Miskito people provides an opportunity for each individual to feel and receive God's everlasting love and salvation.

On BTGM trips we give out food, clothing and shoes, playing with children, preaching the gospel, showing the Jesus film and praying with every family. We work long hours, eating sparsely and hundreds of people receive Jesus. There is no doubt that we are making an impact.

There are moments in life that you always cherish and never forget. Going on missions with BTGM to Nicaragua was one of those moments. God's hand is moving in the remotest of places, and the impact it's having is rippling through the world.

I saw that the Miskito people have a great need for Jesus, that made my missions trip exciting and rewarding. To pray for them, to lead them to Christ and seeing how the Holy Spirit touches their lives for the first time is rewarding.

BTGM is evident in their pursuit of serving God through serving others. I witnessed firsthand how much God is using the ministry to impact so many lives, through their deep desire to spread the gospel, selflessly help those in need and reach the unreachable places.

March 2020 I was able to join BTGM on a trip to Miskito Tribes. The travel was long and hard, but the result was rewarding. There is nothing better than to be a tiny piece of God's great commission.

I'm grateful to our heavenly father for allowing me to be part of BTGM that brings the word of love and salvation to the Miskito communities. I was impacted by how desirably Miskito people received Jesus.

I was blessed with the opportunity to serve with BTGM summer 2017, this trip was unforgettable. It amazed me to see how God can use ordinary people to share His love and gospel to those who have not received it.
