A Timely Gift

During an economic downtown, isn’t it normally wise to preserve cash for unexpected emergencies?

Perhaps...but for Crown of Life Lutheran Church, Colleyville, a special gift was the answer. On October 28, Texas Partners in Mission received an unexpected gift of $24,048 from Crown of Life.

The reason??? Rev. David Jung said, their congregation operates from faith and not from fear. God blesses courageous faith and this was an important example to encourage their members and others in our Texas District.

Mission outreach is a high priority for Crown of Life. They provide support for 20 church planters in India through the Mission India ministry. They also provide direct support for Rev. Gary Martin’s ministry in Acuña, Mexico in close partnership with four Lutheran churches in our Texas District: Shepherd of the Hills, San Antonio; Peace, Hurst; Hosanna, Kerrville and Grace, Del Rio. Rev. Oscar Benavides, LINC North Texas, also benefits from their direct mission support. To support the larger mission of the church, Crown of Life sends over $100,000 to the Texas District.

Crown of Life is planning to plant a new mission church in the broad region northwest of Colleyville. Working in partnership on this church plant are circuit congregations of Peace, Hurst; St. Peter, Roanoke; St. Mark’s, Mineral Wells and Good Shepherd, Azle. Reaching out with the Gospel message of hope in Jesus Christ is their central mission.

Crown of Life Lutheran Church is led in their ministry by Rev. David Jung and Rev. Tim Perkins. To God be the glory!
