Give to Missions Ministries

Acuna Ministries

The Acuna ministries help relieve poverty conditions in the Acuna, Mexico area (near the Texas border). Your giving will directly support three efforts:

• Building houses for families
• Helping families complete houses they have started but can't finish
• Scholarships - $95 can send a student to college for a semester

As funds accumulate, we can organize teams to make weekend or weeklong trips to Acuna to work on housing projects.

Green Mountain Baptist Association - Vermont

As the second least churched state in America, Vermont cries out for spiritual assistance. Can you hear the cry of her heart? Does it call to your own heart? Why not join Terry Dorsett and his team of missionaries in reaching Vermont with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

On a snowy winter day in 1993 Terry Dorsett and his family moved to Vermont as missionaries to serve the small rural churches of the state. Since then they have been joined by three other couples who serve with them full time, as well as several part time workers. (One of those couples, Dewey and Kathy Aiken hosted an HBC mission team in 2004 and visited Hillcrest in 2005.)

Together this team shares the good news of God's love to all who will hear. Their passion for evangelism and church planting motivate them to share the vision of what God is doing in Vermont with ministry partners around the country.

You can see the current GMBA financial, equipment and prayer needs on th GMBA web site.

Baptist General Convention of Texas - Mary Hill Davis Offering

Over the years, the Mary Hill Davis offering has allowed Texas Baptists to begin new mission ministries that could not have been funded by the BGCT Cooperative Program.

River Ministry is the best example of how the offering enables the start of new ministries. The multi-faceted ministry along the Texas-Mexico border initially received all its funding through the Mary Hill Davis Offering and probably could not have grown over the years without continued financial support from the offering.

The statewide goal for the 2004 Mary Hill Davis Offering is $5 million. All of the money received will support BGCT ministries. Churches send their offering to the BGCT for disbursement to the various ministries. The offering also provides the entire operating budget for Texas Womens Missionary Union (WMU).
