This year’s mission to Brazil was a testament to God’s work in the hearts of many. With 30 dedicated volunteers on the ground, the trip led to an incredible 700 first-time decisions for Christ. It was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when faith meets action. As we look ahead, we invite everyone to keep next year’s mission in their prayers and consider joining us for an even greater impact.
Our Bless the Badges Hempstead/Lafayette event was a highlight of the season, honoring 77 officers and their families.
Thanks to 72 volunteers and support from over 40 local sponsors, we were able to serve 179 guests with heartfelt hospitality, gifts, and much-needed household items. This event was not just about service, but about expressing deep appreciation for those who dedicate themselves to keeping our communities safe.
September and October put our disaster response capabilities to the test, and the ARTEX community rose to the challenge with unwavering support. We deployed four trailer loads of supplies to Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina and had a team serving in Valdosta, GA from October 17-24.
We are grateful for the volunteers and congregations who donated supplies and labor. The search for a permanent storage solution for disaster relief and ongoing ministry needs continues—please join us in prayer for this provision.
Still available: We’re selling a John Deere tractor, and we're seeking a reliable truck for our missions and operations. Your prayers and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated.
Our congregations are experiencing renewal and growth:
September was marked by incredible community support in the wake of hurricanes Helene and Milton. Churches stepped in with donations, volunteer drivers, and workers, showcasing the strength and compassion of our faith network.

We also extend our thanks to Crossview Baptist for hosting our annual meeting, where we reviewed reports, finalized the 2025 budget, and outlined the next steps for our association.
Our October has been a mosaic of service, celebration, and preparation for the future. We remain grateful for each member, volunteer, and partner who embodies the mission of ARTEX Baptist Association. Here’s to continued blessings and shared faith as we move forward.
