About IllumiNations

"It will be your mission to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of God. This is so that they may receive forgiveness of all their sins and have a place among those who are set apart for a holy purpose through having faith in Me." ~ Acts 26:18

Our Mission & Vision

Our vision is to bring light and life to the nations of the world!

The Vision of IllumiNations is two-fold:

(1) To minister the life-changing message of the Gospel to the Body of Christ worldwide so that they can know the truth of who they are in Christ; and to enable them to fulfill their God-given purpose.

(2) To strengthen and encourage pastors and leaders, and to empower them to lead a supernatural ministry.

Our foundation scripture is: Acts 26:18 – To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

It is our desire to bring light and life to the nations of the world!

Mission & Purpose

The Mission and Purpose of IllumiNations is to train leaders and plant churches. God has a divine plan and purpose for every believer, and part of our purpose is to help believers find and fulfill theirs.

In order to reach the lost, we must train and disciple spiritual leaders, who will do the same in their own nations. Leaders are formed, not born. So we desire to multiply our efforts by training and raising up leaders who have the intention of raising up more leaders to reach their nations for Christ.

The most effective way of reaching the lost is through the planting of life-giving churches. Every time a church is planted in a new area, unreached people hear the Gospel, and then have a church home where they can grow spiritually, use their spiritual gifts, and receive training to become the leaders God wants them to be. We desire to see church planting become the #1 evangelism tool used throughout the world.

 

Who We Are

About the Gratehouses

Jason and Alisha have been married since 1990 and both are graduates of Rhema Bible Training College. Jason is also a graduate of Domata School of Missions, and a Master Trainer with Dynamic Church Planters International.

Together, they have served in various capacities of ministry for over 32 years, including pioneering and pastoring a church with a strong missions emphasis for 12 years. During this time, they trained their members in the foundations of God’s Word, prayer, and the importance of being led by the Spirit.

In 2011, they sensed the Lord leading them to enter into the next phase of their ministry: traveling internationally and teaching the Word of God in churches, pastors’ conferences, and Bible schools all over the world. So they stepped out of their pastorate and merged their church with another, and for over a decade have been working with various ministries and missionaries overseas.
 
Jason is an avid reader, writer and coffee connoisseur who willingly allows Alisha to drag him to art galleries across the U.S. and Europe. Alisha is an artist and entrepreneur. They are the parents of three young adults: Olivia, Alec, and Liam.
