Special Missions Contribution

Special Missions
Sunday, May 4th

HOPE worldwide: $45,000
  • HOPE worldwide is an international charity that spans the globe in order to provide services for the poor and needy. HOPE bases its programs on the needs of the various communities including short -term disaster relief. Members of the DFW church have had opportunities to help in the recovery efforts in New Orleans, to care for the sick in Cambodia and to serve the orphans in Eurasia.

Eurasia Missions: $150,000

  • Our special contribution supports the St. Petersburg, Russia family of churches which includes churches in the St. Petersburg area, Southern Russia, Belorussia, and the Caucasuses. Several of the churches are in Muslim areas where Christianity is against the law and the Christians share their faith at great personal risk. This year they have added five new church plantings to the family. Many of these churches are in very poor cities and the plantings would not be possible without our financial support.

Texas Missions: $10,000

  • This fund supports and encourages the smaller churches in Texas such as Amarillo and Lubbock. The members of these churches have repeatedly expressed their gratitude to the Dallas church for the love and support. Over the past several years, the Dallas church has sent financial aid and disciples to encourage and assist the Christians in these cities.

Thousand Oaks Ranch: $170,000

  • The ministry of Thousand Oaks Ranch has been a spiritual light to many over the past 14 years. Every year the camp impacts the faith of hundreds of children as more than 500 school-age children attend the camp every summer. The camp has also hosted Texas-wide singles events, family and marraige retreats and overnight leader’s meetings. This ministry would not be possible without financial support from our Special Missions contribution.
