A Year in Review | Mesquite Church Reflects on 2019 Transitions
Will Klinke
Some significant things happened in 2019 for the Mesquite Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mesquite, Texas.
In the area of ministry, we focused on discipleship in preparation for “Reach Dallas 2019,” an evangelistic series throughout Dallas in October of 2019. We praise the Lord for 11 baptisms and professions of faith and one re-baptism during 2019. Two of those baptisms were during our inaugural Sabbath in our “new to us” facility on July 27, 2019. It was a privilege to have Carlos J. Craig, Texas Conference president, with us that Sabbath to dedicate the church building and pray for the current and future members.
We are blessed to have more than four times more space than before, conveniently located across from a park with a lake near downtown Mesquite. The new facility includes a gymnasium which provides a wonderful opportunity to minister to young people. Another blessing during 2019 was that our previous building is able to be used by the Mesquite Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church to bless their growing congregation.
Please pray for us. It is our desire to put people first as we take care of the Lord’s business. We pray that we will be faithful to His mission as we expand and develop our new facility that we know He has given us.

Original Submission
2019 saw some significant things happen in Mesquite. Ministry wise we focused on discipleship since the beginning of the year in preparation for Reach Dallas 2019 in October. We praise The Lord for 11 baptisms and POF and 1 re-baptism in 2019 for Mesquite. Two of those baptisms were on our inaugural Sabbath in our new facility. It was a privilege to have Elder Carlos Craig with us to dedicate our “new to us” facility on July 27. And we are thankful that our previous building could go to the Mesquite Spanish Church to bless their growing congregation. We are blessed to have more than 4x more space than before including a gymnasium located across from a park with a lake near downtown Mesquite. Please pray for us that we will put people first as we take care of The Lord’s business and that we will be faithful to His mission as we expand and develop our use of our new facility that He has given us. If you happen to be passing through we hope you’ll be able to join us for study, worship, and fellowship afterwords at: 422 S. Ebrite St, Mesquite, TX 75149
