Looking Forward to the Summer!

We are looking forward to a busy and productive summer! We have seven mission groups scheduled that will do work projects and kids clubs throughout Amarillo and at two apartment communities in Hereford. We're excited that we will be including two city parks in our schedule this year. During the week of June 24-27, mission groups will conduct morning kids clubs at Eastridge and Will Rogers Parks. This will be a pilot program and we hope it leads to further involvement with the city parks during the summer of 2014.

In addition to our seven mission groups, two local churches will serve weekly at apartment communities throughout the summer. Paramount Baptist Church will do a weekly kids club at Amarillo Garden Community June 24-Aug 5. Trinity Baptist Church will do a kids club at Astoria Park-Greenacres Apts. starting July 2 and running through the end of the month.

We are excited to see the local involvement at Mission Amarillo growing. Of our five Spring Break groups, four were from Amarillo, the Panhandle or High Plains. Of our seven mission groups, six are from Amarillo, the Panhandle, or High Plains.

Please pray for our summer as these groups take the gospel to the less fortunate in our area.

Welcome!

Welcome to the website of Mission Amarillo. Mission Amarillo's primary focus is to be a resource to churches, businesses, and individuals by helping them empower those in need. Many organizations stand between the volunteers and the those they seek to reach. Our goal is to place the churches, businesses, and individuals at the forefront, serving as a catalyst, resource, and equipper to help them help the less fortunate and make disciples in their communities. Our vision is one of a united community where barriers are broken, hope is provided, and the gospel is proclaimed.

Through our Christmas and Back to School Outreach projects and our core ministries of our apartment ministry, and our shoe/hygiene/household closet, we help provide our community with the opportunity and the resources to give hope to the less fortunate and disenfranchised. If you, your church, or business is interested in reaching out to those who are less fortunate and aren't hearing about Jesus, contact Jeff Parsons at jeff@missionamarillo.org or give him a call at (806) 236-3487.

Simple Church – Expressions of the Body of Christ

Just Blind Dependence on HIM
Who orchestrated the multiplication/groups/location/spread of homechurches in the world of Paul (Acts 16:6-34)….Paulwould probably not have chosen Lydia’s home or the Jailer’s…he wanted to go Asia instead! Who taught church multiplication in the home of Prisca & Aquila (Rom. 16:3-5)…they probably never even considered the idea…they were just living a con […]

Kids Do More Than Watch At A Simple Church
Many ask, “What do you do with the kids at a simple church gathering of Christ-followers and their friends”? I always say, “Enjoy them”! This picture is a good example of kids being involved in the life of the church. You might be surprised at what they say during Bible dialogue, or how they pray […]

This Transforms How Persons Actually Live:
After sharing Jesus, the most life-changing ministry we can pursue with a group is planting a simple Body of Christ, a Church, birthed along with them, empowering them to be His Hands, His Heart, His Voice, His Compassion in their circle of relationships. Ministry to human needs is still deeply important, but while these elevate […]
