The Purpose of World Mission:
The World Mission Division seeks to follow Christ's Great Commission to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19) and to be His witnesses in "Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth" (Acts: 1:8).
The people of West Texas seek to take Christ's love, through mission service, into areas of the world where people are in spiritual and physical need. Our missionaries combine evangelism with efforts that address hunger, health, shelter, and educational needs of those with whom we minister.
