Greetings from Austin, Texas! We continue to rejoice in all God has done, all He IS doing and the fantastic work He’s promised to continue to completion in our city and in our church.
This year has seen torrential rains and flooding here in Central Texas. As we watch the events around the world unravel we are reminded of the imminent return of Jesus and are contending for the last days outpouring to flood Austin with the Glory of God. We continue to labor to that end - evangelizing, discipling and launching churches.
October brought us to our annual Haunted House outreach. It is a great time spending long nights practicing and preparing for this. Fellowship and bonds are forged as we labor together. The end result was almost 100 souls making a decision to receive Christ.
This time of year also brings a new season of bible studies and new op- 4 portunities for couples to rise up, to lead and serve in ministry. Men have risen to the challenge and have taken their study and discipleship to the next level.
October also brings us to Bible Conference in San Antonio and our yearly Pioneer Rally. The church was excited to host all of our baby churches and to see the fruit of their labors. The preaching was rich and Friday Night we were able to launch out a new Church!
This marks a significant landmark for us … 25 years of ministry for the Austin Church!
In December of 1990 Pastor Barry and Mary Lou Parker answered the call to come to a city that had been nearly impossible to pioneer. Through much tenacity, perseverance and stick-to-it-ive-ness (one of Pastor Parker’s favorite words) things began to break and the church was established.
Now under the leadership of Pastor Perez we continue to fulfill the great commission reaching out to the world with the Life Changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. On December 5 we will have Pastor Rubi preaching our Anniversary service as we prepare our hearts for the next seasons of revival.
From Prescott to Tucson to El Paso to San Antonio to Austin and now in regions beyond we are filled with gratitude at the heritage in which we are partakers and the legacy we are passing on.
Continue to pray for the Austin churches as we believe God’s promise for strength as we turn back the battle at the gate!
