Hello my name is John Gross, I live in Kansas City Missouri. I love Jesus, I love the way He takes weak and broken people and does really cool things with them. I am such a weak one and I hope you can find a little inspiration from the Life I get to live.
Missions in general is my thing, caring for widows and orphans, has become my passion. I am very opinionated, and I have written about a variety of topics. Everything from controversial issues in the church, to stories that make me cry. See what you think and feel free to leave comments.
I am a simple guy that works 40 hours a week at a large pharmaceutical company and uses His spare time to do Mission outreaches from inner city to around the world. I have no formal education in writing, having a hard time even making it through high school but I love to tell stories pecking it out one letter at a time.
I have joined together with some of my good friends and started a 501 3 c called House Of Friends for tax deductible giving. We pioneered an orphanage in Entebbe Uganda with Richard and Debra Kaaya. You can check it out at http://www.houseoffriends.org/Abbahouse.html

I just want to said i like your dreams. It help me the one you said about the hospital .Cause i want it to talk out about my leader to. But god is good and we all need help the best thing you can do is pray for your leader
Wow. Yes. My favorite verse is James 1:2727 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
So I basically love this.
Good work John Gross and Co! You can never go wrong in God’s eyes – loving the “one” orphan God gives you, hugging the one lonely person, being a listening ear. I think that God has another word for sucess, its called ‘love’. I hope that we can live by that definition of sucess- God knows Africa needs it, America does…. the whole world. What would the world look like if every Christian was driven by the power of love, not easily offended (o Lord I want to be like that!) and ready to just embrace the one person in front of them? This is the revival that is coming, I think.
I am looking for the name of the doctor |Diana saw in Kansas city for Cushings. I have a family history of Acromegleia…..and other similar syndromes. My primary doctor suspected Cushings, and tests leaned toward it. However, they ran a second set, and just left it as questionable. My pictures and symptoms align with hers, and I cant seem to get it off my mind. I feel something is wrong, its just not something many family doctors are familiar with. Could you possibly share the name with me?
John, thank you for the wonderful words at my brothers (Eddy Reber) funeral. Your words seamed to be well prepared but I know that they were not and you spoke purely from your heart.
Your words were focused on Jesus Christ and his healing grace.
I especially liked how you spontaneously made a comment on Cecilia (his daughter) where she asked the sound booth if she could ‘Start Over’ after loosing her composure while singing a memorial song for her dad.
As you said, it is really a a great thing to have a savior who allows us to ‘Start Over’ time and again, after we have made a mess of things.
What a wonderful God we server.
Thanks again John and a very special thanks for leading Eddy to the Lord.
In Eddy’s final pen, I have a document where he wrote these words:
“John, thank you for being my genuine friend. Without you, I would not have grown to live my life for God. You never left me when I did not obey. I Honor, Respect and Love you. See you in Heaven”….. Eddy
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
Cheers! Sandra. R.
I noticed five things on here that I would like to speak to you about at length later or comment on here- maybe even send you an e-mail about. The first relates to helping widows and orphans. The second relates to Jacob’s trouble. The third is about studying America through the eyes of the indigenous. The fourth is about your lack of education, which thing I am sure matters not to God- only to man. The fifth and final thing is that you live in Kansas City, MO, considering I live close to you in Joplin, MO.
I was heading for bed when I decided to take the burning in my heart with me to my laptop and turn it right back on at about 12:45 am when I’m supposed to be getting up at 4:30 am.
Among other gifts that the Lord has blessed me with to use for His great Name’s sake are the abilities to sing and write songs for Him. I play no instruments yet, however, and am not sure who He will have me work with on musical accompaniment in the future.
My sincerest hope is that the Lord led me to you to be a part of your portion of God’s ministry. Please pray about this and e-mail me back or comment on here. God bless you and remain in His work!
Christopher , I would be glad to talk to you, I am in your area from time to tim,e we could visit by phone send me your number by email . I am leaving for Africa in a week so it would have to after I get back. Blessings John
