Impact Stories

During Spring Break, a group of high school students dedicated their time to serving refugee families along the Texas/Mexico border.

As the high school students engaged with the children, sharing Bible stories, the parents were drawn to join in the activities, creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

One student connected with a mother, sharing how God had been a refuge for her, bringing hope and healing to her family. Amidst the laughter and activities of the children, the mother listened attentively as she heard about God's sacrifice of His only son for the forgiveness of sins.

By the end of the conversation, the mother accepted Christ.

We praise the Lord for this impactful moment! Your prayers and support are making an impact along the Texas/Mexico border. Thank you for supporting Texas Missions.
