Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

This year, as we gather for the Mary Hill Davis Offering Week of Prayer for Texas Missions, we hear a profound voice calling us to a sacred mandate: Speak Jesus.

"Speaking Jesus" invites us to move people toward Him, sometimes in big, shared moments, but so often through a single word or a simple act of love. It’s about stepping out of our comfort zones and bringing the love of Jesus right to our neighbors' doorsteps. 

Because of your prayers and faithful generosity, the hope of Christ flows into broken spaces. BOUNCE Student Disaster Recovery, now a ministry of Texans on Mission, allows young hands to become the hands of Jesus, physically restoring roofs and spiritually encouraging heavy hearts in disaster zones. 

Behind the walls of Texas correctional facilities, your gifts place chaplains beside those who feel forgotten, speaking light into the darkness. 

And on the border, WMU of Texas volunteers build more than just homes. They build lasting relationships. They share faith and offer steady hope to families in need.

As we focus on the next generation, from Campamento to our college campus Baptist Student Ministries, students are meeting the stranger with open arms, welcoming them with true community, turning simple encounters into blessed opportunities to share the love of Christ.

The legacy of Mary Hill Davis lives on, and her remarkable leadership continues to inspire us to give, serve, pray, and speak Jesus. 

Thank you for supporting the Mary Hill Davis Offering for Texas Missions, and may God be praised for the great things HE has done.
