– The Grassroots Evangelism Ministries (GEMS) is an independent non-profit Christian faith based group located in the Bay Area in Northern California. For more than 13 years, we have been serving the Chinese grassroots workers and their families in the Greater Bay Area, leading them to learn about Christian faith and Christian life.

– Over 40 all-volunteered co-workers, from 15 different churches come to support GEMS. In the past 5 years, over 150 souls have been saved, and 40+ people have been baptized.

• Who we serve

– Workers in restaurants, hair salons, foot massage parlors, supermarkets, family caretakers and renovation workers.

– Non-believers as well as believers that cannot attend church services and/or programs that typically run on Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays.

• Mission

– To serve Chinese grassroots workers in the Greater Bay Area (South Bay, East Bay, Mid Peninsula, and the Tri-Valley in Northern California) by going to their workplace and family, introducing the connection between the Gospel and their daily life, and inviting them and their families to local churches.
