Houston Mission Update #3

We are making new friends and having many new experiences. We have been well received by other youth groups, the VBS children, and people from the church. Pictured above is our intern, Joel, and Marlon, a long time member of the Impact Church of Christ. Last night we went to the Water Wall and then ended our evening in worship with the Maryland youth group.

Houston Mission Update #2

I'm so proud of our students! They have jumped in with both feet today working with the children. We had time to sing, teach, read, play, and above all demonstrate the love of Jesus. It has been a long and wonderful day and we are excited about tomorrow.

Samantha's Baptism

One of our students recently made the confession that Jesus is Lord of her life and was baptized. You can watch her baptism here. After you watch the video be sure to click on the comments link and leave her a word of encouragement.

Houston Mission Update

The student mission team was sent out in prayer this morning! We made the journey to Houston safely and look forward to worship tomorrow at Impact Church of Christ. We will post a picture or two each day and would love for you to leave comments for the students throughout the week. Keep us in your prayers. ~Brandon

Houston Mission Trip

This Saturday our Home Groups will be meeting at the Western Hills campus to send 16 of our students on the Houston Mission Trip. It has been a blessing to see the active role our Home Groups have taken in sending this student missionary team to work with children in the city of Houston. The pancake breakfast will begin at 8:00am and we will send the team off in prayer around 9:00am.

Special thanks to all our Home Groups and your overwhelming support. Please keep our students in your prayers this week.

The Samaritan Project Continues

On Sunday, June 29 we had the wonderful opportunity to help prepare a rental house for Mary Ann Garrett (see previous post). Thank you to all who put in some "sweat equity" to enable Mary Ann and her family to move into this new place. Enjoy the video of the Western Hills Church being the Hands & Feet of Jesus!
