Dear Partners in the Greatest Mission on Earth!
It’s amazing. Even during a pandemic, racial tensions, economic stresses, political meltdowns and a funding freeze, pastors and their dedicated lay leaders across Texas kept winning souls for Jesus and His final movement!
As we look to 2021 the Conference Officers and Evangelism Team have discussed the need to put special emphasis on
- God’s Mission – The Adventist Message to all Texas and the World in This Generation!
- God’s People – Identify potential leaders and activate them in soul winning
- God’s Money – Use it to activate volunteer soul winners, maximize growth hot spots and impact Houston & DFW Metro areas in a coordinated way
Here’s what we’re praying for and what resources are available for each. I hope and pray your churches become filled with these key lay leaders, especially among the young people. To build a great TEAM you want to Train, Equip, Activate and Mentor them to success.

“The conversion of souls to God is the greatest, the noblest work in which human beings can have a part. In this work are revealed God’s power, His holiness, His forbearance, and His unbounded love. Every true conversion glorifies Him and causes the angels to break forth into singing.” Testimonies for the Church, volume 7 page 52.
Now is a great time to be praying the prayer Jesus told us to pray. “Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Luke 10:2.
