NORTH TEXAS MISSIONS INC

AS PART OF NORTH TEXAS MISSION'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS IN HONDURAS, WE PROVIDED EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES AND LABOR TO FINISH THE ROOF AND INSTALL THE CERAMIC TILE FLOOR FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE CENTER. OUR INVESTMENT HELPS TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES AND SUPPORT THE EL COOWLE COMMUNITY. IN THE BAHAMAS, WE LEAD SPORTS CAMPS FOR THE LOCAL YOUTH AND HELP WITH REPAIRS AND RENOVATIONS TO THE BIBLE GOSPEL CHAPEL CHURCH BUILDING. ALTHOUGH THESE CHANGES APPEAR TO BE MINOR, THE REALITY IS THAT A NEW AND FRESH CHURCH BUILDING HAS GONE A LONG WAY TO ENCOURAGE THE BELIEVERS OF THIS CONGREGATION. THE NEW CHAIRS AND REPAIRS STARTED ON THE CHURCH HAVE LED TO A BIT OF A REVIVAL. THE CHURCH HAS GROWN IN ATTENDANCE, AND THEY HAVE STARTED DOING NEW OUTREACHES. THIS HAS ALSO PROVIDED THE SPARK FOR THE CHURCH TO TAKE ON NEW AND ADDITIONAL RENOVATIONS AS A CHURCH BODY. THE WORK STARTED BY THE MISSION TEAMS HAVE HELPED TO MAKE THE TASKS LESS OVERWHELMING AND ALLOW THE CHURCH TO SEE THEIR NEED TO REBUILD THEIR CHURCH BODY AND BUILDING. WORK BEGAN TO HELP PREPARE WINDERMERE HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE FALL SEMESTER. WE LED A SMALL TEAM FOCUSED ON REMOVING AND REPLACING COUNTERS AND WORK AREAS IN EDUCATION ROOM 9 OF THE WNDERMERE CAMPUS. THE MISSION ALIGNED WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION OUTREACH FOCUSED ON SMALL GROUP READING INTERVENTION AT GREEN CASTLE PRIMARY SCHOOL. THESE EFFORTS HELP THESE SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS AND SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS. THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN EXPERIENCED ACROSS THE WORLD CONTINUES TO HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT IN HONDURAS; JOB OPPORTUNITIES CONTINUE TO BE LIMITED ALONG WITH THE INCREASING COST OF FOOD AND SUPPLIES. NORTH TEXAS MISSIONS CONTINUES TO PROVIDE FOOD RELIEF FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN IN OUR STEP -BY-STEP MINISTRY INCLUDING BEANS, RICE, SALT, PASTA, MAIZE, LARD AND SOAP. THE SULA VALLEY REGION WAS IMPACTED IN SEPTEMBER 2022, WITH THE RAINY SEASON CAUSING FLOODS AND LANDSLIDES. THIS WAS EXACERBATED BY HURRICANE JULIA WHCIH MADE LANDFALL IN OCTOBER 2022 AS A CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE AND FLOODING. THE ULUA RIVER ROSE 22.3 FEET, EXCEEDING THE RED ALERT FLOOD STAGE. NORTH TEXAS MISSIONS RESPONDED BY REGISTERING AND OPENING OUR FACILITY AS A TEMPORARY EVACUATION SHELTER, ALONG WITH PROVIDING FOOD AND ASSISTANCE TO IMPACTED FAMILIES.
