Serving Our World
Each year the Mission Team takes time to set priorities and focus of
where our mission dollars and efforts will be invested. Western Hills
continues to support cooperative programs but we also enjoy having
personal relationships with missionaries we support. By focusing on a
few mission efforts, Western Hills can be very intentional in our
support, mission trips and prayer for our partners.
International partnership
Charles and Shannon Worthy serving in Naples, Italy with the International Mission Board.
Charles was a staff member at Western Hills and has moved with his
family to Naples to share the love of Jesus. We are also active in our participation with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
State partnerships
When Hurricane Ike hit the gulf coast, many churches were destroyed.
Through our partnership with the BGCT, we have connected with a church
from that region. Over the past year we have been down to Raywood, TX
to work alongside Pastor Chuck Fontaine at the Cornerstone Baptist
Church.
We have also partnered with Literacy Connexus and the Cooperative
Baptist Fellowship to travel to Eagle Pass and participate in literacy
events along the Texas – Mexico border. These events provide literacy
training, book shelves and reading materials for families.
Local partnership
In an effort with Trinity Hills Baptist Church in Benbrook, the Tarrant
Baptist Association and the BGCT, we are helping support Pastor Eloy
Gonzales as he works to start a church in Fort Worth. Eloy’s work is
primarily with the Hispanic speaking population of south west Tarrant
County. We also support River Point Church, which is creating a church that unchurched people will love in Fort Worth.
