PAM POOLE Special Projects Coordinator

Pam joined WMU of Texas in 2014 and began using her gifts working with WorldCrafts and special projects, such as the Women’s Build in South Texas, and many other ministries related to WMU.

Pam enjoyed traveling and setting up WorldCrafts markets, sharing about the artisans whose stories and crafts were featured.

Retired in 2020, Pam and her husband, Courtney, are enjoying the new home they built in Waxahachie, playing with and nurturing their grandchildren, and keeping their hands open for God’s next assignment. BRANDI JONES joined WMU of Texas, March 9, 2020, as Marketing Specialist.

When Brandi thinks about her favorite passage, John 15:1-17, she is reminded of God’s love. Every morning, she reads the passage before she begins her day where she helps WMU of Texas leaders share their mission-focused stories around the world. #wmutxteam
