APRIL
WELCOME TO PURSUE 2023 , the WMU of Texas Annual Meeting & Missions Celebration!
This is indeed our opportunity to celebrate all that God has done and is doing through your missions outreach efforts, locally and abroad. We thank Dr. Jason Atchley and Hunters Glen Baptist Church of Plano for hosting our event this weekend.
As our WMU of Texas family gathers, we acknowledge that, together, we are Texas missions. Not only will our time together be filled with workshops to equip and empower you for missions, but it will also be a time for us to celebrate the many cultures represented in the WMU of Texas family.
During the conference, workshop topics covered will include everything from ministering across cultures to church planting to leaving a legacy for the continuation of WMU of Texas ministries through estate planning. We’re looking forward to a weekend of purpose that propels you to action!
We are also excited to be joined by the national WMU President, Connie Dixon, and representatives from our missions partners: Baptist General Convention of Texas, North American Mission Board, and the International Mission Board. Throughout our two days together, you will have an opportunity to interact with Texas Baptists, NAMB, and IMB missionaries. See missionary schedule on page 23 for more information.
Finally, the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex is filled with attractions to explore, restaurants to visit, and vibrant scenery for some of the best selfies in Texas. Enjoy your time in North Texas!
¡BIENVENIDOS A PURSUE 2023, la Reunión Anual y Celebración de Misiones de WMU of Texas!
Esta es nuestra oportunidad de celebrar todo lo que Dios ha hecho y está haciendo a través del esfuerzo de alcance misionero, localmente y en el extranjero. Agradecemos al Dr. Jason Atchley y a la Iglesia Bautista Hunters Glen de Plano por recibirnos este fin de semana.
A medida que nuestra familia de WMU de Texas se reúne, reconocemos que, unidos, somos misiones de Texas. Nuestro tiempo juntos no solo estará lleno de talleres para equiparlos y capacitarlos para las misiones, sino que también será un momento para que celebremos las muchas culturas representadas en la familia de WMU de Texas.
Durante esta reunión, los temas de los talleres incluirán todo, desde ministrar a través de culturas hasta plantar iglesias y dejar un legado para la continuación de los ministerios de WMU de Texas a través de la planificación patrimonial. ¡Esperamos que este fin de semana descubras un propósito que te impulse a la acción!
También estamos entusiasmados de estar acompañados por la Presidenta nacional de WMU, Connie Dixon, y representantes de nuestros consorcios en misiones: la Convención General Bautista de Texas, la Junta de Misiones Norteamericanas y la Junta de Misiones Internacionales. A lo largo de nuestros dos días juntos, tendrá la oportunidad de interactuar con los Bautistas de Texas, NAMB y misioneros de IMB. Consulte la agenda en la página 23 para obtener más información.
