How Your Gifts Impact Texas Missions
The Mary Hill Davis Offering for Texas Missions® experienced a year of growth from the amount you gave to support missions to an increased donor base. Through your generous gifts, ministries were able to support 77 mission opportunities across Texas and beyond.
Thank you for your partnership in missions in 2019! We are celebrating all that God has done and is doing through you in our great state of Texas.

Philosophy Statement
Understanding that missions is what believers do to reach beyond the needs of their congregations to witness and minister for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission, WMU of Texas designed the Mary Hill Davis Offering® to advance Texas Baptists missionary efforts to help people come to know Christ.
Therefore, it is the goal of WMU of Texas to strengthen and support Texas missions opportunities through the Baptist General Convention of Texas. The offering makes possible missions ventures and sustains them until appropriately assimilated into other financial channels.

Tell Ministries
What sets apart the followers of Jesus? It is the sharing of God’s story to give us new life through His Son as we put our faith in Him and giving people the opportunity to receive Him. These ministries enable Texas Baptists to be a witness.
