People are our Mission

2011 Ministry Recap

The events of 2011 are a clear reflection of the awesomeness of the God we serve! The love that God has for all mankind, especially that “…not one would perish’ is the motivation and driving force behind the work of North Texas Missions. Every trip that we develop and lead is done so with the single purpose of showing the love of Christ through our words and actions. This year we were privileged to lead four trips to the Bahamas, Honduras and Nicaragua and on each trip we saw lives transformed. Each trip held its own unique ministry, tied together by the relationships that were formed and developed.

In the Bahamas, we provided support and encouragement to local NTM missionaries, Ryan and Emily Flunker, through construction support for Windermere, the only private Christian school on the island of Eleuthera and the VBS activities held in the surrounding Settlements.

In Honduras, we led two trips focused on providing medical, dental and optometry services to the village of Paujiles, as well as community VBS/Sports Camp activities and construction support to the Promise Home orphanage. One of the key ministries we are continuing to develop is the ongoing education and support for the deaf community in the greater El Progreso area. We were able to teach 48 deaf children and their parents this year and are planning for those numbers to expand in 2012.

In Nicaragua, we partner with Stand as One and their ministry to women and children who have been caught in the web of human trafficking and prostitution. Our efforts were focused on providing vocational training to the local women. In addition to training in advanced baking, cake decorating and card making skills, the women perfected their design skills and created jewelry that are true works of art. All of these goods are being sold both locally and internationally to help provide support to these women. We also provided construction materials and manpower to build the wall that surrounds their training center.

Our efforts are expanding in 2012 with plans to lead a total of 7 trips to the Bahamas, Nicaragua, Honduras and a new trip to East Asia. What a privilege it is to serve our living God!
