Our History
The 99 Ministries was founded on Luke 15:3–7, the Parable of the Lost Sheep.
​
When Greyson was 12 years old, he was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain aneurysm. Through a groundbreaking treatment, the aneurysm was completely eradicated. It was an experience that changed his life and began shaping his understanding that God had given him a life worth doing something with.
​
Several years later, Greyson heard a song about Luke 15 and the shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one who is lost. Something about it stuck. Greyson knew he was called to ministry, he just didn't know what that ministry would look like yet.
​
Over time, that calling became The 99 Ministries: a ministry built around a simple idea: go after the one, serve people, share Jesus, and go wherever God sends us.
​
From Des Moines to the ends of the earth.
