A Summer Full of Missions

Several of our college students are involved in missions and ministry activities this summer. They need your prayers.

Josh Hill, who is a student at Jacksonville College, is serving in New York City this summer with the North American Mission Board. We have been receiving word from Josh about his work, and will post a page on the website so you can read about what he is doing.

Lisa Rivera, a student at Houston Baptist University, is on the Rec Team, and is in the Hill Country conducting children's and youth camps.

Jacob and Jennifer Millard, also students at HBU, are doing an internship at First Baptist Church in Willis, Texas.

In addition to that, there are several other mission activities taking place at GOBC this summer.

Partners in Faith recently completed a project collecting and delivering food and clothing to My Brother's Keeper, a mission ministry in the Alief area which provides assistance to families in need, including food and clothing distribution, but also assistance finding a job, housing, and counseling. Families seeking help through My Brother's Keeper are also given a presentation of the gospel to help their spiritual needs.

World Changers will begin July 4th. Eleven participants from GOBC will travel to Missouri's Mineral Area to help minister to 24 families who have specific needs related to their homes. Neighbors will also receive the benefit of having a crew of students and adults in their community sharing their faith by helping families in need. The GOBC group will join with participants from two other churches in Texas as well as from Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma and Indiana.

Woodridge Baptist Church from Kingwood will be bringing their junior high youth for an inner city mission project in our area July 6-10. They camp out in our church for the week and use it for their mission headquarters.
