MORE Church Planters Needed in TEXAS!
I am so thankful for the wonderful support given by Texas churches for the support of our Texas works! However, I am praying that MORE churches get burdened, along with me, that MORE Church Plants are desperately needed for this great state! I am praying that the people that God has set aside to meet this need, answer His call!
As your MBA Sec/Treas of Missions in this state, one of my goals is to help identify and support churches and individuals who are led to start new works in Texas. I am thankful at the half-way point in my first year of service, that one church has already reached out to me to express their interest in planting a new work! God is so good to hear us.
Won't you please join me in prayer that God will burden more hearts of this great need for the souls of our state? I pray that YOU will answer His call and your church will embrace the personal charge of the Great Commission!
Please share this burden with those on your Facebook friends list.
I am busy traveling across Texas and getting to as many churches as possible. Please message me and set up a time I can come and encourage your church for personal involvement in missions!

April 2024 Report:
In April, we had an amazing month filled with various activities and events. We kicked off the month with our revival services, Where Bro. Rodney delivered five powerful messages. It was a time of spiritual growth and fellowship as we came together. For anyone interested you can find the messages on our website.
During the services, we were blessed with the presence of several visitors, and on our most attended night, we had 29 individuals join us. It was encouraging to see new faces and connect with them.
Throughout the rest of the month, we continued with our regular services, although the attendance remained low. However, we didn’t let this discourage us. In fact, we took the initiative to launch additional outreach programs! We are fervently praying that the Lord will bless these efforts.
On a personal note, I enrolled in some online classes through TBI. Balancing everything was a bit challenging but I thoroughly enjoyed the courses and I’m excited to continue my education as time allows.
Lastly, we wanted to show appreciation to the hardworking teachers at the Local school. We prepared a care package to bless them as they make the final push towards summer. It’s our way of expressing gratitude for their commitment to the students, as well as letting them know that we keep them lifted up in prayer!
We again want to thank you all for keeping us in your prayers, and we will continue to pray for you. Landmarkbaptistrockdale@gmail.com

April 2024 Report:
Keyboard Musician: We are so blessed to have Joel, his wife Dani, and daughter Audry attending our church. Joel is a great musician and plays the keyboard with great skill. What a blessing that is to all of us. Now we have mostly live music, along with our great drummer, Chris Willis. Maybe we will soon have a guitarist. God is blessing. Music draws musicians. Praise God for these musicians. Time for Sowing: We don’t have very much to report this month and that’s because we are preparing to sow more seeds, it’s Springtime.
Sermon Series for May: Experiencing Evangelism. We will be making an all-out effort to do BLESS, door-to-door work.
Mother’s Day is Coming Fast: Inviting Mothers for Sunday Services is a great opportunity to get to know some of the most special people on earth.
VBS is Coming in June: Recruitment for volunteers and attendees are all on the agenda. We will be doing a lot of outreach in order to enlist as many as possible.
These are opportunities to Evangelize: Pray that we have success in the Lord please. Come join us and help us with your offerings please. Foundation Design in the Works: Jason Fuller of Cadre Construction in Amarillo, has offered his services as a General Contractor to help us build our addition to the back of our church house.

April 2024 Report:
LeAnn
A couple of years ago, we were thrilled to see LeAnn come to know Jesus as her Savior. Unfortunately, due to her job, she was unable to attend services with us. LeAnn is our daughter’s best friend, and so we have had sporadic contact with her during that time. Over the past two months, LeAnn has been able to attend every Sunday with us! She told my daughter she loves coming every week, and will continue to do so! Please pray that she will soon come for baptism and membership with us here.
Dom
A few months ago, Dom was a bi-sexual young man in the Army. After accepting Jesus as his Savior, he turned his back on that sinful lifestyle. This month, Dom has started visiting our services (without us realizing that he was going to come). He is a young man with whom God continues to work. He recently said that he loved how open and welcoming he felt with us! Please pray that Dom will continue to follow God’s guidance in his life.
Young Adults
This is the sight that we see at our house after we get back from services (nearly EVERY week). Praise God we seem to be attracting young adults to our services here! It is such a blessing to see new faces that come not only to hear God’s Word, but also feel comfortable to come and enjoy some home cooked food. They not only stay to eat, but usually a game of UNO or some other game breaks out afterwards. God continues to work in the lives of young people in this world, and some even listen!
In His Service, Glenn McCarver

April 2024 Report:
What a great blessing to write to you about the work here at Fellowship Baptist Church (FBC) in Conroe. While God moves some people on, due to jobs, He also moves others here to work, worship, and be witnesses of Christ. As most of you know, our window of opportunity to have David Hardin here to help lead our Bible Distribution Project closed. This gave me a desire to find a new avenue for our Christ and church to shine in this community. We utilized our annual community event called, “Kidzfest” to distribute several hundred tracts and invitations to our “Start of Summer Sundae Sunday” happening at the end of May. It was great to meet so many in our community and share the love of Christ with them. We had two new families the following Sunday in attendance for services.
Some of our ladies were able to attend the quarterly South Texas District Ladies Meeting at our sister church, Iglesia Bautista Betel in Houston. It is a very important part of our ladies work to connect and communicate love, prayers, and needs to other sisters in Christ. My wife as President, gave the devotional on being, “Many, But One”. Her devotional was on how her making lasagna with many ingredients creates one delightful dish. The irony was that unbeknownst to her, lasagna was served for lunch.
In accommodating growing needs within our church, we have made some positive changes to our current scheduling and types of services at FBC. We have created a mid-week Men’s and Women’s Bible Study on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. Along with this, we have chosen to have our business meetings every other month, and to utilize the second and fourth Wednesdays for discipleship training. I have developed 13 lessons with handouts for those attending and have provided folders to where at the end of our discipleship training attendees will have a thorough outline of Baptist doctrine.
One of the greatest blessings as a Pastor is to baptize young people and welcome them into the body of believers of your church. We had the great joy of seeing both Madalynn and Atarah come forward for baptism. Both sets of their parents have been great workers in our church and I pray that their example will encourage both girls to be great workers for God here or wherever God leads.
I want to give you an update on my father-in-law, Nate. He has been in a care facility in Conroe the past two months. He has had a few visitors of friends and family out to visit him. Jessica and I go to see him every week and try to meet personal needs as they arise. His condition is not improving but we feel the prayers of those praying for this need.
It is always a joy to share what God is doing in and through His church. As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers” We have been showered with God’s blessings and now awaiting even more flowers of faithful workers to shine forth in service for God.
Thank you for all your prayers. In God’s everlasting love, Bro. Aaron Bryan.

MBSF Lubbock, TX 903-722-1545 Sponsored by: Quaker Ave. MBC 4405 - 51st Street Lubbock, TX 79414
April 2024 Report:
The month of April was our best month for attendance. We had 2 weeks with 25 (tied the record)! Our average for the month was 23! We now have 68 students which have enrolled in our program! We started off the year with 8 students and 8 enrolled, so it is easy to see how the Lord has done wonders in our midst!
The activities for the year included: Setting up a booth at the Hub City Fest on campus; A booth at Welcome Week on campus; A booth at the USA Arena on campus at Lubbock College Night; A Spring Weekend Retreat at White River Youth Camp; and a meeting with leaders of other registered Christian Student Organizations. Each of these activities were very fruitful as we were able to connect with a total of 190 students and give them Bibles, Gospel brochures; T-shirts; pens, and contact information. No professions of faith, but many seeds sown!
We were blessed to have Chris Robertson, Pastor of Hermleigh First Baptist Church come on Sunday night, April 28 for an interview as our MBSF/Youth Director. We are in the process of putting together a job description and compensation package for this position. We ask for your continued prayers as we seek God’s will in this process. Bro. Chris and this church are also in need of the Lord’s direction concerning this matter.
Finally, QABC has voted to erect an MBSF building on the west side of our property instead of purchasing an old house near the campus. After much prayer and consideration of all things, we believe this will be the best use of the funds and open up greater opportunities for future growth and ministry. If you have quest ion about this, please contact me at your convenience: quakerabc@yahoo.com or 806-441-0618
We are very optimistic about the upcoming school year! Without your support none of these things would be possible!
Thank you so much for your continued faithful and generous help!
For any questions, please contact me at: quakerabc@yahoo.com or call 806-441-0618.
Thank you! -Monty Hilliard, Interim Director
Greg Devine Missionary in Rosharon, TX
Rosharon Church Plant, Greg Devine 903-491-1852
Bro. Greg and his wife Amy have six children. They are sent out by Unity MBC of Richwood, TX. Their goal is to plant churches along the Hwy 288 corridor in Rosharon, TX.
April 2024 Report:
As we turn the page on another month, I’m looking back at my calendar that I gradually filled in during the month of April. Now that the month is over, it is a very full calendar to look back on. The events, activities, meetings, travel, worship, and discipleship that filled our days this month are a reminder of what a great blessing this chapter of life is for me and my family.
· Amy’s days are filled with her hard work and loving service at home, at the Pregnancy Help Center, and in many other aspects of ministry. Even though I am the one the carries the title of Missionary for this project, her contributions are commendable and priceless.
· The children’s days are filled with homeschool, music, friends, and church activities. Even as we seek and invest in opportunities for ministry along the Highway 288 corridor, we are thankful every day that our children are living life to the fullest in this area.
· God continues to grant opportunities to have Sunday visits with some of you on deputation. We appreciate your support in finances and prayers and are thankful for the growing network of brothers and sisters in Christ who follow our efforts along the 288 corridor.
· We were able to host a couple of young adult children of missionaries on a much more distant field and give them a break from their field of service. It was such a privilege to give them some time in Texas, and for our older children to enjoy their company for me as well.
· Coastal Way Baptist Church continues to thrive in fellowship, discipleship, and personal growth of the members. They are making plans for the summer that I am looking forward to sharing with you as they continue to develop.
In Christ, Pastor Greg Devine.
