Happy New Year Expansion Friends!
Â
A new year has started and with it the opportunity to continue the expansion of the gospel to all nations represented in the community where we live.
Â
But before we start this year, let’s look back to December 2023. We had a great end of the year ministering and bringing joy to families.
Â
First, we want to thank God for the opportunity He gave us opening doors to minister to many Hispanic families in our own Area B and also collaborating with Mission Strategist Rev. Lincon Guerra doing missions at Area A of the TX LCMS.
Â
December is a time to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus sharing with people that there is a Savior. We took this message to our community in different cities of the DFW and Hereford, TX through our Angel Christmas Tree program, and Special Christmas services around our network churches. We broke the record of presents delivered to over 150 children who were not expecting to receive gifts on Christmas. This is another year of Christmas miracles through His church.
Â
We want to thank our partners for making it happen: North Texas LWML ministries, local churches and individuals who provided presents for children in need.
Â
Thank you again for making it happen.
Goals for 2024
Â
Our main goals for the year is to launch three Bible studies that may turn in to potential church plants in three different cities. Those include: Prince of Peace in Carrollton, Beautiful Savior in Arlington, and Our Savior in McKinney. We have been connecting with families around these churches and now we feel ready to begin the pre-church plant work.
Let me close this letter with a special request. Please pray for our Network Church Planters and Evangelists, they are on the front lines reaching out and connecting with people in need. Also, pray for the Lord to provide the finances for us to continue preaching the gospel throughout Dallas, and Fort Worth, to consolidate the church plants and to expand the gospel throughout Area A of the Texas LCMS.
Â
I hope and pray for you to have a great and blessed new year 2024!
 In Christ,
Jaime Gonzalez
Executive Director / Expansion Mission Network
