To Texas and Back again
We just returned from our third trip to Sugarland/ Houston Texas area and the last of 6 events in Texas since the end of January. We are by no means complaining, we have enjoyed ourselves in Texas. This last trip was a great weekend with some sweet people.
This weekend we also had the opportunity to serve along side Mike Satterfield. He did an amazing job relaying the Gospel and teaching the word. We are praying for Him as God has moved him away from Shelby Crossings in Birmingham, Al to full-time evangelism. If you need a quality preacher for your event look up Mike Satterfield
Wilcrest Baptist in Houston was one of the most memorable churches we have ever had the opportunity to serve. It was by far the most multicultural church we have ever served and will most likely be one we remember for many years to come. It is not often sadly that you see an established Bapstist church that is really willing to get out of their comfort zone and move to a place where they are not reaching people who look just like them, but they are reaching their community whatever ethnicity they may be. They are doing an amazing work. We hope they continue to expand their borders and impact their community. It has been great our last two trips to Houston we have really had the same experience. James Darby's church Body of Faith was a similar case to Wilcrest. The only difference was Body of Faith was a new work altogether, coincidentally James was once the Youth Minister at Wilcrest and Body of Faith is a church plant from Wilcrest. So they really are sending out and displaying what a church should be. We pray that they don't get comfortable where they are and we hope they don't forget their first love.
There is so much potential there for continued impact.
We are blessed to travel all over the place and we rarely see what we have seen in these past couple of Churches in Houston. Lets face it folks, the church as a whole is missing it. We are only reaching people just like us and scripture says he died for the world and go ye therefore to all nations. Not just white people or black people. We need to grow up and stop being so selfish about who we worship along side. There is a lost and dying world and we have the answer for life. So stand up church meet the challenge and impact your community. It can be done, it has to be done. The best way to do it is with Love.
Love Wins,
Will, Aaron, Steven and Brad
