Gretta supports the ministry of the Upper Room church serving in their young women’s ministry and working with their social enterprise, The House CIC.

Their main ministry, Upper Room Church, is an English & Farsi based church made up of 250+ Iranian, Kurdish and Afghan refugees. From a small home-based Bible study of ten people in 2014, it has now grown into a church that meets weekly in a local rented church building.
