Families of T.H.E.M. Missionaries,
March was filled with activity, both in the office and in the field, culminating in tremendous baptismal success. As you can see from the Focal Point, we had forty-eight baptisms for the month of March. This is a significant increase over prior months and an indicator that our mission goal of fifty baptisms a month is obtainable. With added missionaries, we anticipate that baptisms will continue to increase. Next weeks’ transfer will see an additional twenty-two missionaries added to our numbers with only two returning home. In May we will send home seven seasoned missionaries and receive at least twenty. The Lord is hasting His work. It is a wonderful time to have a son or daughter involved in building the Kingdom of God. It is wonderful to be a part of the work at such a time as this!
As you view the Focal Point please note the details concerning Mother’s Day phone calls.
Because the MTC schedule has shifted from three weeks of training to two weeks, transfer/release dates for 2013 have changed. Please adjust your schedules accordingly. Missionaries will be sent home on the following dates:
May 29
July 10
Aug 21
Oct 2
Nov 13
Dec 25
Please continue to encourage your missionaries to focus on their “Purpose” which is to “invite others to come unto Christ.”
As you write them, please keep your letters uplifting and positive. We feel the power of your constant prayers. It is especially needful as we undergo tremendous growth in the T.H.E.M. Thank you for the strength you add to T. H. E. Mission.
Sincerely,
The Texas Houston East Mission
