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!

February 2023 Report:
February was a bit of a rough start with the ice storm. Our community was hit pretty hard, we had many out of power for anywhere from 1-7 days! The majority of our congregation were out for about 4 days. We are thankful that while there was the inconvenience of no power, all of our church members were able to stay warm, fed, and safe. We were able to open up the church facilities for a short time when the power came on, and have a few people come and warm up and shower. Some of our church members were able to open their homes and share what they have with others in the community, as well as help with the massive cleanup efforts that took place. We had some downed limbs at the church as well as a pipe burst. We received the call at the end of the month that we lost about 57,000 gallons of water before we had found and fixed the leak! That was an unplanned expense, but we know it could have been much much worse! We are thankful the leak was outdoors and not inside the building! We have also had an illness going through the church which has taken quite a while to get over. We would appreciate your prayers for complete healing for those of us with lingering symptoms, and those that are just now at the beginning of it! With all those bumps in the road, we have also been blessed with a few new visitors! We had a man and his mother join us for services the first weekend of the month, and he has come every Sunday, and recently began coming to our second services, as well as Wednesday evening prayer meeting! We are now just at 2 weeks away from our Revival meeting and we are praying that the Lord works in all of our hearts and lives. Please be praying for us, and we will remember you all in prayer as well! Landmark MBC February 2023 Rockdale News We averaged 12 in our Sunday Morning service, and 7 in our Wednesday evening services.

February 2023 Report:
We have found a very good prospect for our church location: this is a house with 3300 sqft, 5 bedrooms, 4 baths and suitable for us to have worship and bible classes. This will be an excellent starter location on FM 157 just two miles south of Mansfield. Mansfield is growing all around this property and will be surrounded in the near future with a lot of housing. The highway in front of the property is going to be widened to a four lane in about 5 years. We closed on our sale of 5 acres in Crowley: Praise God we deposited $550,000 into our bank account early this month. The 5 acres is sold and now we are considering a property we have looked at for months. You see the picture above. Because of the sale of the 5 acres, we will be able to purchase the property debt free. Please pray for us as we pursue this property. February attendance low: We have seen a lot of sickness and absenteeism among our church attenders. Our averages are lower than usual. Our monthly attendance had been previously very good. March is Missions Month: We are so excited to dedicate every Sunday in March to Missions. It is our Faith Promise Missions Month. We plan to have Bro Danny Jones, Bro Monty Hilliard, and Bro Brant Lane speaking at different Sundays. We will also be having via Zoom, Missionaries Ted Barker and Bro Robert Baidya. Our giving was short of our goal, but we still received over $6,000 by faith last year. Jase Fuller Multi-Tasking: Jase, as you know, is our Youth Minister. He is now helping us with the music. We love his enthusiasm and willingness to learn how to lead worship.
Praise God and Thank you all for Prayers and Support,
Bro. David Smith!

Salvation: 1, Church offerings $4785, Paid to Missions $480, Sunday School attendance 28, Sunday Morning Worship 30, Sunday Evening 20, Wednesday evening 18Work: The Month of February may have brought trying times physically, but we had some spiritual blessings. The question we must ask ourselves when we are physically hurting and suffering great pain, do we praise the Lord? I am thankful as the suffering that I had the last three and half months with the kidney stones, the Lord gave the strength to preach and pastor. My wife had a hysterectomy which gave her much needed relief and she is healing well, I was able to have the corrective surgery for Kidney stones and a stent removed, they removed the first stent and blasted the stones on both sides, scoped for damage and placed stents on both kidneys. After 7 days at the end of the month they removed the stents and I’m feeling much better. We thank the Lord for many of our brothers and sisters for praying for us and offering words of encouragement. Special thanks to Beacon Baptist Church Ladies Auxiliary in San Angelo for the love offering to offset the high payout of medical that we had to pay for both surgeries and to our sponsoring church Northside BC in Snyder for constant prayer and checking on us. The last Sunday morning we had a visitor that has visited twice came forward after the message and accepted Christ as Savior and requested baptism after realizing the Catholic way was not the way. We are so thankful as the Lord has blessed us with our 5th Salvation this year. And on the last Wednesday evening our bible study was on ambassador of Jesus Christ where we had a firsttime lady visiting also realized being a Catholic religion teaching was against the bible. She also liked how she could ask questions and that we took time to explain. She said she will be back. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout this great state of Texas that needs the Lord evermore, from Brother Rice.
Building Fund: The building fund has been a true blessing for us this year as we were blessed by the TMD funds of over $34000.00 and what we raised along with many churches contribute to the fund we are over $63358.60, which is another praise of thankfulness to our Lord for a giving heart. Stats: Salvation 1; Join by Lettered 0; Baptism 0; Church Offerings $4785.40; Paid out to Missions $480.00 Attendance Sunday Morning Bible Studies 28; Sunday Morning Worship 30; Sunday Evening 20; Wednesday Evening 18
Prayer Request: Keep Sister Ramona in prayer as starts her pain management for her head and neck for the next month on Friday. Continue Prayer as we work on paperwork for preapproval for building loan

Salvations
God continues to bless here in the Borderland! After seeing Emmanuel come to know Jesus as his Savior a couple of months ago. We are excited to report we have seen three more come to know Jesus as their Savior as well! It has been a great blessing that God has allowed us to see this harvest of 4 souls already this year! Please keep Christopher, Jennifer, and Aleksandra in your prayers (as well as Emmanuel)!
Aleksandra
One of the people that have accepted Christ, Aleksandra, is a young mother. She is in need of good Christian friends. She has already begun talking with my daughter, Cala. I ask you to not only to pray for Aleksandra, but also Cala that she can be a good friend and example for this young child of God!
Covid
We have had many blessings this past month, but one of them was not the return of an old "friend." Shortly after Amy's birthday on the 3rd of February, we both got sick with Covid (later our son would have it as well). This progressed to an upper respiratory infection and kept us from going to Mexico this month. We also missed the first meeting (since the beginning of Covid) of the churches in Juarez. Thankfully, we made it through this month. We are grateful to God, that even though we were sick, He continues to bless!

February 2023 Report:
Greetings my fellow South Texans! My name is Aaron Bryan. I am the new Missionary/Pastor at Fellowship Baptist Church in Conroe, Texas. Clarifying my all was the unanimous vote by both Fellowship BC of Conroe, and Alvin MBC of Alvin, Texas. (The Sending church) I have been in the ministry for over 30 years preparing for "such a time as this" to step forward, hand-in-hand with my wife, Jessica, to minister to the hearts inside and out of the work God has called me to in Conroe.
This past Sunday, we started a sermon series in Nehemiah entitled, “Rise up and Rebuild.” My wife, with our two sons and I, stepped forward to join the church. We also had our offer accepted on a home in the Conroe area! We ended the services with a circle of pray of unity together.
We are shooting to be fully on the field by the end of March. In the meantime, I will be attending the MTM (Missionary Training Ministry) module at Sublett Road Baptist Church in March; finishing up selling our home in Arlington; and gearing up an intentional discipleship training for our church in Conroe. We want to make every member a minister of the manifold grace of God. Pray for our work in three intentional ways: For our ministry team to establish strong leaders through intentional discipleship and mentoring programs. For our Mission Task to outreach to three target areas around the church, Residential, schools and businesses. For our magnified Target to discover new ways together to lift up Christ through worship, fellowship and service.
In God’s everlasting love, Aaron Bryan, Pastor.

February 2023 Report:
February was a great month for us! We had one new student come this month due to the flyers we have handed out on campus. Also, we had one of our regular students bring a friend that has now started coming on their own and is trying to talk one of their friends into coming to our Bible studies! We have averaged 7 students at our Bible studies even with 3 to 4 different regular students being able to attend each week due to classes, performances, labs, etc. I am praying to have 15 students attending by the end of this semester by our students continuing to reach out and witness to their friends. One of our main students has asked prayer for an atheist friend of his that he works with and has been witnessing to for the past four months that showed up at his church this past Sunday! He is also trying to get him to come to our Bible studies as well. It is encouraging hearing stories of these students being willing to share their faith with others and going out of their way to invite their friends to Bible studies!
Our first 3 Monday Bible studies in February centered around Christian self-discipline and control. We focused on how the Bible speaks about guarding our hearts and our minds and taking our thoughts and desires captive to the authority of Christ. The last Monday evening we started our study on active faith and what it looks like in a Christian’s life. One of the new students is from a Methodist/Pentecostal background and so dealing with faith has led them to have some questions about how faith and salvation work so please be in prayer for this student as we address these questions through the scriptures. Please continue to be in prayer for our studies as well as the upcoming events.
We are currently averaging $3,700/month of monthly goal! We have had a couple more churches express interest in supporting us as well as one of our current churches increased their support $50/month! We have $51,000 in our house fund and are still trying to reach $4,500/month to enable us to afford the MBSF House!
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know at (806) 470-2850 or S_haneymbsf@outlook.com! Thank you and God bless!

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.
February 2023 Report:
God has given us another month that was abundantly blessed. As I look back at my February calendar, I see days that were richly blessed in gatherings with the new church, church members, friends, associational churches and pastors, and our sending church. Rejoice with us for all of the ways that God is blessing the work. Our family was one of the featured missionary families for the Faith Promise conference at Sublett Road Baptist Church of Arlington Texas.
We love the hospitality, fellowship, generosity, and opportunity to meet other missionaries that we always experience at these events. I had multiple lunch meetings with pastors in our local association. These men and the churches that they lead never fail to encourage me and my family in the work that God has called us to.
One of our member families is meeting with Amy and I on a weekly basis for personal discipleship. Please pray for them as they grow in their faith.
Amy and I were able to attend the 66th anniversary service of our sending church, and the fellowship lunch that followed. We are so thankful to have such a model of longevity as we work to establish new churches along the 288 corridors.
One of our teenage sons has a new job in the Rosharon area. We are excited for him to have this opportunity, and also for the connection to Rosharon as we continue to pray for God to open doors in this area of the 288 corridor.
God continues to bless the gathering of Coastal Way Baptist Church on Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings. There is always such a sweet spirit of fellowship and worship among those who gather with us. Please pray for this young church to seek the direction that God has for
them, including the process of becoming established as a non-profit
In Christ, Pastor Greg Devine.
