Missions Ministry News

Our mission at ARBC is to make disciples through ministry, worship, discipleship, outreach, and community.  One of the ways we are trying to accomplish this mission is to provide mission trip opportunities for adults and students.  There is no greater way to grow in your own relationship to Christ than to reach out to others and share Christ with them.  In addition to Texas Baptist Men opportunities that come up as the need arises and ongoing Garland community mission projects, we are offered the following international opportunity in the summer of 2008:

A Thank You from Pastor Franklin in Barahona...

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:36-38

We are so thankful for 44 people we had to help Pastor Franklin reach the “crowds” in Barahona, Dominican Republic for Christ. Thank you for your prayers.  Team members were: Bill Ashburn, Eric Ashburn, Julie Ashburn, Keith Ashburn, Kristen Ashburn, Lee Ann Ashburn, Daniel Barham; Suzanne Berry, A.C. Blair, Ada Loera, Bobby Bownds, Ken Bownds, Rhonda Bownds, Andy Bunn, Wanda Caplinger, Jim Clark, Lynn Hagin, Terry Hagin, Gabbie Harlow, Pat Hill, Gregg Hunter, Rita Hunter, Warren Matlock, Austin McConnico, David McConnico, Sarah Moore, Patrick Pryor, William Riley, Nick Marino, Tony Roe, Jon McCaslin, Brooklyn Runnels, Gina Runnels, Payton Runnels, Steve Runnels, Lexi Salinas, Lisa Salinas, Ramon Salinas, Beth Sather, Paul Siebenmann, Peggy Siebenmann, Riley Wentz, Mike Whisenant, and Sandi Whisenant.


Back-to-School Supplies

The ARBC summer missions work is in full force and we are now planning the Back-to-School supplies drive for the ROC (Re-creation Outreach Center) Summer Health Fair & Missions. Please plan to help by shopping for supplies that will be so helpful to many needy children in the Garland area. We will be providing 175 shopping bags and supply lists to the Youth and Adult Bible Fellowships beginning June 29th. Contact Dan Wikander or the church office if you have any questions.

Please return the bags to the church office by Sunday, August 3rd.

Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord’s service.

Your ARBC Missions Team & ARBC Staff
