Mission: Brownwood report for June 2008

“Go ye therefore and teach all nations”

The month of June has been one of challenges and excitement and for Mission: Brownwood. We have been able to get settled in to our new home, meet our neighbors and have even begun to minister to some.

We have been meeting with prospective core group members who may be interested in helping us launch a new church and have been doing outreach in our local neighborhood and at the local mall. Our biggest challenge in Brownwood is reaching religious lost people.

We are in the process of organizing a series of one-day vacation Bible schools on every Saturday in the month of August which will be held at the community center of the Brownwood Housing Authority. We have had four volunteers agree to help us so far… two from our sponsoring church, one from an ABA church in San Angelo and one from Brownwood. We still need volunteers. You may volunteer by calling me at (325) 200-8531.

Current plans are to continue meeting in our home until we build a core group of two or three more families to commit to the new work. Once that happens, we will publicly launch the new church. This will be a challenge as the core group will likely come out of Brownwood’s unchurched population.
