graceRIOT

With hearts bent toward the broken and a passion for unity in the Body of Christ, our goal is to love all, just as Christ so loved the world.

The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Matthew 11:12

Jeremy & Sarah Dunston
Bring graceRIOT to your city

Jeremy and Sarah Dunston are an evangelistic team with a passion for seeing lives transformed through the love of Jesus. Jeremy carries the heart of a father, while Sarah moves with boldness and fire as a street evangelist. Both were radically saved out of religion and rebellion in 2017, and since then, they’ve pursued God wholeheartedly, serving together to awaken hearts and equip the Body of Christ.

Together they formed graceRIOT, an evangelistic ministry with the goal of bringing “the church” outside the four walls and actively into the lives of the hurting and hopeless. graceRIOT crosses enemy territories to connect souls to the Kingdom of Light. Whether this is the homeless, addicts on the streets, children living in motels, or victims in disaster zones, graceRIOT is powered by the Good News to deliver hope and freedom.

In Sarah's words

The holy reviving fire of evangelism

Evangelism means that you are obedient to share the gospel unto the point of death. If He tells you to go talk to someone, you do it — with the intent of leading someone to make a decision for Christ.

Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of the TESTIMONY, and they did not love their lives unto death.”

Evangelism is not loving life, but loving the lost more than yourself.

Why? To lead them to a decision to follow Christ.

Sow into the ministry

Support
the
RIOT

Partner in prayer

If your passion is to make the good news of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ great in the earth, consider partnering with graceRIOT — in prayer and in sowing, as the Holy Spirit leads you.

Sowing into this ministry is what keeps evangelism and outreach moving. It feeds and clothes the people graceRIOT meets, covers the fuel to reach them, and funds the slow work that comes after — staying, discipling, and walking alongside.

There is no building to heat and no staff to pay. What is given goes into the hands of the people being served.
