We are better together.

AS BELIEVERS, WE ARE BLESSED TO BE ABLE to journey through life together. We can encourage one another. We have the opportunity to intercede for each other. We can combine our resources to meet more physical and spiritual needs across the state of Texas. We can do more together.

King Solomon reminds us of the value of partnership as we pursue the will of God. In Ecclesiastes 4:9, it says “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.” For such a time as this, when the population of Texas continues to grow exponentially and when the opportunity for ministry in every neighborhood exists, it is imperative that we see ourselves as co-laborers in faith. The work in our state is definitely plentiful; however, based upon the impending demographic shifts, we need more ministry efforts to impact our state for the Kingdom.

We are blessed to witness the formation of community missions groups that allow individuals in congregations that no longer have the age-level WMU missions groups to continue their involvement in missions discipleship with like-minded individuals from various churches in their community. This model enhances the group’s diversity of thought and perspective as participants serve and learn…together. Likewise, the Lord continues to open doors for ministry along the border of Texas and Mexico. Our churches are partnering with our Texas Baptist River Ministry missionaries as they share love and show Christ.

Indeed, it will take all of us to serve Texas in this season. We have been equipped for ministry to meet needs and equipped to stand against the enemy… together.

I look forward to seeing you and serving with you this fall as we visit your churches. We are better... together!

In His Name,
