One Easy Way to Support Local Missionaries this Summer

Can you, your church, small group or business help provide meals for a group of dynamic college students who are volunteering with Mission Centers of Houston this summer? Starting May 22, 9 summer missionaries ( aka "critters") will be arriving from Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas to serve with us for 9 weeks.

Please prayerfully consider providing a meal for them! Without your help, we could not provide this summer missions experience to our awesome interns!

Here in the South, we pride ourselves on potlucks, casseroles, and our ability to feed people well. This summer, let's put that Southern hospitality to good use by feeding the Mission Centers of Houston's Summer Missionaries.

Individuals, Sunday School classes, businesses, families, or small groups can support the hard-working students coming in for the summer to bring help and hope to Houston.  These college students are working hard at Mission Centers of Houston, so they've worked up an appetite. And as you know for most college students, food means a lot to them.  

UBA's staff has signed up for a slot during the last couple of years, and we always enjoy meeting and supporting these young adults who have committed their lives to Christ. They are bright, eager, dedicated, and hard-working. Summer in Houston is not for the faint of heart at its best. Add kids, teens, and seniors to every day, and it can be exhausting.

Let’s make sure the "critters” are encouraged and well-fed. Sign your group up for a meal, and you can join them around the table as well! All the information you need can be found on their Meal Train below.

Some lunch ideas may include pizza, sandwiches, subs, Chick-Fil-A, fried chicken, casseroles, etc. Chips, sides, and desserts are great bonuses as well. Of course, you can bring something homemade, but delivery works just as well.  So long as the meal is filling and meets the needs of the teams, they are happy to have it.

 

If you would rather make a donation or provide a gift card(s) to help provide a meal please contact Laura Fernandez at laura@missioncenters.org or 832-746-9050.

Thank you for helping Mission Centers of Houston as they work to bring transformation to inner-city Houston through the love of Jesus! We are grateful for your faithful prayers, encouragement, and support.
