Last month, Texas Baptists Go Now Missions appointed 175 students to serve as Summer, Impact and Fall Semester missionaries. These students come from 41 campuses across Texas and will serve alongside ministries in the state, as well as around the U.S. and globe.
“God made two institutions: the church and the family — both reflect our relationship with him. The breakdown of the family doesn’t just affect our church; it affects our communities,” said Marriott.
"You learn who the body of Christ is and how God uses each of us.”
“We want to foster and shepherd their education in very significant and tangible ways.”
“There were challenges, but the blessings were so rich,”
"They have had real encounters with Jesus and are passionate about teaching others about the gospel,”
"We want to be that family to them outside their home and give students a place to connect with others and learn about Jesus.”
On Monday, Nov. 15, at the 2021 Texas Baptists Annual Meeting, a group of over 200 missions-minded individuals gathered to celebrate the work being done through the ministries of the Center for Missional Engagement and give glory to God for the fruit.
“If not for the faithfulness of those 48 charter members and so many other people who came before us, we wouldn’t be where we are now,”
“We are anxious to continue reaching pastors and ministers with information about how these programs can be a blessing to them and their churches.”
