BLESS BLOG LAUNCH

Friends,

A short update on who we are, what we do and where we stand. BLESS gets to host some amazing events throughout the year, bringing incredible people together in Austin, Texas to bless and reach the unreached abroad. We get to know our beneficiaries on a personal level, visiting their mission fields across the globe and bringing them to Austin to connect with our partners at home. When our prayers, generosity and commitment come together, God multiplies the harvest, and some of the most beautiful stories of salvation, redemption and life are told. We want to share those stories with all of you...and this is one place we are going to do it!

Our mission:

“To empower generosity at home so we can reach the unreached people groups abroad”

New Year’s “Revolution:”

As we wrap up an amazing 2018, we shift our focus to 2019 and what we hope to accomplish through BLESS for HIS glory.  To that end, we are committing to what the Lord told Joshua in chapter one of his book…and thus reading The One Year Bible plan together.  “Study this book of instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” -Joshua 1:8

We would love for you to join us.  The link is below (be sure to choose “The One Year Bible” and not “Bible in One Year”)

Thank you again, from all of us, our beneficiaries and the thousands of people across the world who have been and will be BLESSED through you!

Prayers up!
