"We loved everything about Puruse. The fellowship, exhibits, conferences, and general sessions. The Praise to our God was amazing."
"The workshops at Pursue were extraordinary. For me, everything was edifying and a blessing for my spiritual life. I was filled to continue talking about Jesus."
"Everything at Pursue was amazing, but the best part for me was gleaning ideas I can bring home and apply to our Women on Mission group and to my ESL class."

Mission Project
Border Ministry Compassion Bags
In 2025, your generous donations of hygiene kits and supplies enabled WMU Border Ministries to assemble and distribute over 300 Compassion Bags to families along the Texas/Mexico border.
Additionally, your donation of 672 pounds of beans and 180 pounds of rice provided essential support to families affected by the 2025 flooding in the Rio Grande Valley.
In 2026, we will collect similar supplies to help even more families along the border.
Stay tuned for the updated donation list.
Tote Bag Drive
Have too many tote bags in your closet? Donate your unused WMU of Texas or Texas Baptists tote bags at the mission project area. Your donation will help us deliver essential items to those in need in 2026!
