Texans on Mission is headquartered in Dallas and mobilizes Christian volunteers to impact the world by sharing God’s love and training the next generation, We do this by sending out an unending stream of volunteers to deliver help, hope and healing in the name of Christ to hurting people in Texas, across the United States and around the world.

 
There are many facets of TXM, including disaster relief, water impact, builders, discipleship as well as Royal Ambassadors.

 
Most of our local involvement is with disaster relief to provide practical help during tragedies by serving hot, nutritious meals and providing access to shower and laundry services as well as our local chainsaw team that removes debris as well as fallen and damaged trees.

 
Other teams clean out and repair homes damaged by floods and fire. We have chaplains that work with the teams to pray with and encourage survivors, offering hope for better days after the storms.

 
Some of our local volunteers have traveled as far as Israel this past year to be trained in kosher cooking as well as being deployed over seven times following strong winds, tornados and hurricanes within Texas and Oklahoma.

 
Our chainsaw team is made up of volunteers from not only Trinity, but from Comfort, Pipe Creek, and Camp Wood. We work side-by-side with other teams following disasters to show the love of Christ.

 
Trinity Baptist Church and Hill Country Baptist Association has helped our organization not only financially, but also through prayer and manpower. We also perform some local work to assist churches and great needs. There is always room for more volunteers. If you would like more information on how to get involved, visit the TXM.org website.

 

 

 

Did you know that over the years many members of Trinity Baptist Church have obeyed Jesus’ call to “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded.” (Mt. 28: 18-20). In recent years TBC has sent-short term mission teams to the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Mexico and Thailand to name just a few. Those who have gone have discovered that mission work is a powerful experience in doing God’s will. This is regardless of whether they’ve gone on a short-term mission trip or become a career missionary.

 
Missions not only impacts others, but also creates personal transformations in those who go. Some examples of how many have been blessed by their participation in a short-term mission trip is best explained by their personal testimonies about how God has changed them because of their willingness to become a messenger of His good will. Some specific testimonials are included in the TBC 2023 Mission Trip Memories booklet located on the wall bookshelf just outside of the church offices.

 
The goals of your 2025 Trinity Missionary Ministry team are:

1) to help raise funds for scholarships as well as encourage and inform TBC members who wish to go on short term missions’ trips. Information about guidelines for receiving financial aid can be found at TBCK.ORG/missions,

2) to provide limited financial assistance to approved long term career missionaries.

 
We request your financial help. One way you can help is by doing the following: fill in the line on your weekly tithe envelope captioned My Offering to, by writing in the phrase “Short Term Missions” and place the $ amount you want to give on that line.

 
The Trinity Missions Ministry is here to help you get involved. How about joining one of TBC’s mission outreach efforts in 2025. If you can’t personally “go” then why not send others by being part of our fundraising efforts in 2025.

 

 

 

Some of you may know Dr. Geoffrey and Nicole Moses from their stay in the Minoah House as they mobilized in 2018 for their first move and again in the summer of 2023, or from his work as a physician at Peterson Hospital in years past. The Moses’ sending church is Kerrville Bible. They serve through Frontiers USA Ministry.

 
Geoffrey and Nicole, along with their four beautiful kids, have served in Sierra Leone since 2019, sharing their skills in a country with one of the highest disease burdens in the world. Geoffrey’s father is originally from Sierra Leone, a war-torn majority Muslim nation in West Africa and again, according to National Geographic, one of the most difficult places on earth. The country has one of the lowest life expectancies and highest infant mortality rates in the world. Geoffrey’s training is in family medicine and Nicole’s in occupational therapy.

 
Their work includes providing countless medical services, hosting medical teams, educating and training, building relationships and the witness of the great commission of the reconciliation between God and mankind through Jesus Christ. They homeschool their children.

 
TBCK is honored to help in the support of the Moses family. Hopefully they’ll be able to utilize one of our mission homes again in the future, as they still consider Kerrville as their home.

 

 

TBC supports five missionary families financially. Among these are Ben and Suzie Argil (pronounced Ar-heel) who serve in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Not only are they involved in church planting, but they serve as an area resource to pastors and their wives of other Christ-centered churches in the area.

 

Several of us have had the opportunity to visit their Brilla Life Center—as their modest three-story headquarters building is called—but also to see them in action visiting new believers in the tiny ranchos scattered about the hinterlands around San Miquel.

 

Whether giving guitar lessons, teaching English, heading youth soccer competitions, counseling young women tempted to have abortions, providing leadership training, or encouraging struggling pastors, they go about their work tirelessly and cheerfully.

 

Some of those who have come to faith through their work include former drug and alcohol addicts, at least one cartel member, and scores of ordinary folks whose religious practices fall short of a biblical understanding of grace from God through faith in Jesus.

 

What strikes me as unique about their ministry is their service of encouragement to a dozen or so pastors and their wives (pastor wives are critical as their husbands often work full time jobs in addition to their church responsibilities).

 

Pastor John is planning a second annual visit, accompanied by other pastors from our Hill Country Baptist Association (some who are themselves bi-vocational), to pray and fellowship with the Mexican pastors.

 

Over the last few years, three others–a couple from Kerrville and a single woman from South Carolina—have joined the Argils to work beside them in their ever-expanding ministry.

 

You will be blessed to be a part of the prayer ministry for the Argils. The best way to keep abreast of their specific prayer requests and praises is  going to www.benandsusie.org and sign up for updates and newsletters.

 

Connect—Does that sound familiar? Our mission at Trinity is to worship, connect and serve. The First Blessing shoe ministry in September demonstrates each of these actions. As the various teams join together to serve our community with beautiful new pairs of shoes, we connect with families outside of our church and give them the opportunity to join us in the worship of our Lord. Although you would think the Blessing in this ministry is received by those receiving the shoes, those who have joined together to worship our King receive the greatest Blessing.

 

Trinity has over 150 volunteers that serve for First Blessing. We will be serving the kids in Kerrville, Ingram, Harper, Medina, Comfort, and Centerpoint on Saturday, September 21st from 7:30-Noon. Contact Bianca or Kellee in the church office if you would like to join the team.

 

 

On June 1^st, twenty-four TBCK members traveled to the Austin airport before the rooster crowed. Ranging in age from 12 to 60+, these missionaries worked diligently with our Dominican partners in a variety of ministries. Roof demolition, bookcase construction, medical clinics, VBS, sports camp, pastor’s conference, parent training, children’s ESL, varnishing bunk beds, baking class…these are some of the visible activities of the team. Relationships built around mealtimes, ministry and travel are an example of the less visible, but incredibly vital results of such trips.

 

Later this year we’ll print a full report, but for now here’s a few quotes from our TBCK short-term missionaries: “we can show God’s love even through a language barrier…in the DR, believers surrender to God’s desire, I seek to do this now…this trip helped refresh my love for serving others…this year my experience was all about making relationships with the global church…this year I wanted to work on stepping out of my comfort zone…for me to join alongside our Dominican hosts and help with the many activities was truly a joy…the joy and love I saw is something I really want to live by…celebrating the Lord’s Supper with the Dominicans was just a glimpse of what we will see in heaven…one thing that stood out to me was that they are willing to ask for help in their struggles…they don’t care that they have so  little because they have enough…I saw how God works through ministries such as the Texas Baptist Hunger Offering…I was convicted of making excuses not to spend time with God…God really opened my eyes to how blessed I am…when we serve it truly is about having a right heart…each time I come back with a fuller heart…it inspired me to pursue a greater relationship with our Lord…what stood out to me was the unity of the church…I saw God working through everyone…each day we were empowered by God’s grace…”
