"Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." Phil. 2:4
"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Luke 6:38
"For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God."

These scriptures teach "If we want then we must give."
The faithfulness of our supporters, has resulted in another blessed year, There were fourteen request for the 2011 funds. The four projects receiving the funds are so very grateful to you who included this program in this year's mission giving. The funds given totaled $104,811.00. These funds helped four newly planted churches toward purchasing a permanent meeting place to preach the gospel, baptize and teach the word.
At present we are enjoying a supporting membership of one hundred fifty. These members send in regular quarterly contributions to meet the needs of others. Texas Mission Development is a very effective program that has been financially working for Texas mission work and struggling churches for nearly forty years. One hundred fifty four projects have received funds since her beginning in 1972.
Nearly Two million dollars has been given to these projects by churches and individuals who contribute. Praise the Lord for those of you who have seen the need to help others in their need of financial help. May God richly bless you all.
May our Gracious Lord be praised for the funds the projects have received this year. Praise His name
