We were able to split around 1000 Hygiene Kits to 4 missionaries on the border. Gloria de la Pena says, “The most important thing is the note & prayers that were prayed over the kits. Women prisoners always feel alone & forgotten, this shows them the Lord’s love.”

“Being a part of the Center For Missional Engagement (Missions Team) has been one of the biggest joys of my life. I get to do what I love, travel and meet people, and at the same time be a part of what God is doing to grow His kingdom. I am so proud to work side-by-side a great team of God-loving, Kingdom minded individuals that make a huge difference in pushing back the lostness in our great state. Meeting with pastors and Christian leaders on a daily basis has me more convinced that the local church is the conduit that God has been, is and will continue to use to further His great commandment and great commision in Texas and throughout the world.” - Tom Revilla, Church Starting Strategist, Area 6
