Texas Baptists River Ministry missionaries are currently at work in El Paso/Juarez, Del Rio/Ciudad Acuña, Laredo/Nuevo Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley, partnering with local churches and organizations and meeting the needs of immigrants, deportees, refugees and asylum seekers.

It is with both sadness and excitement that I write to let you know we are losing a valued employee of the past five years -- Kathryn Freeman.

Kathryn will be leaving our staff the end of July in order to pursue her Master of Divinity degree full time at Baylor University's Truett Seminary. She also will be working with Truett.

Kathryn has led our public policy efforts since joining us in August 2014. She came to us as a practicing attorney with legislative staff experience, and she used her experience and abilities to further Texas Baptists's work in Austin. Kathryn especially brought a Matthew 25 emphasis on caring for "the least of these" through her policy work. The CLC has seen great success in advancing policy initiatives and blocking ill-conceived policy proposals.
