By volunteering for a day, you are directly delivering help, hope and healing to people after disasters. Whether you're clearing debris, cleaning out a house or praying with a homeowner, you will transform a life. 
Every journey out of dark days starts with a first step. By putting together First Step Kits – hygiene kits for people in crisis – you can meet basic needs for people who don't know where to turn for help or hope. When Texans on Mission volunteers distribute First Step Kits, they provide a place for both. 
When a disaster strikes, people don't know where to turn for help. They don't know who to trust. When a Texans on Mission volunteer connects with them for the first time with a Message of Hope crafted by you, hope sprouts fresh. Find out how you can radically change a life with a simple piece of paper. 
In northern Uganda and beyond, Texans on Mission seeks to provide everyone with access to clean water and the gospel. You can make a Gold-to-Gold Gospel Bracelet to be worn to share the Gospel around the world. Perfect for your small group, Bible study or youth groups, each Gold-to-Gold Gospel Bracelet you create will share the redemption story of Jesus Christ with everyone who sees it. 
When a disaster strikes, people have often lost everything, including items they'd typically have to begin cleaning up. You can jump start the recovery process for someone by providing these items through Texans on Mission Disaster Relief. 
The sun had not risen yet, but a dozen Texans on Mission volunteers busily made lunch for teachers at Legacy High School in Mansfield, southeast of Fort Worth.
It was part of a week-long effort by TXM and the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter to “show teachers appreciation and God loves them,” said Genia Macon (above at right), TXM unit leader.
She said her team would feed more than 2,000 fajita meals during the last week of February across several Mansfield schools. TXM delivered the meals daily, while FCA provided food service at each location.
TXM brought a refrigeration trailer full of fajita meat, rice, vegetables, beans, chips and salsa to make the effort happen.
“Teachers sometimes are unappreciated,” Macon said. “As a retired teacher myself, I know how wonderful it is when somebody takes a little special care to give you something extra. Because we love the Lord, we serve the Lord, and we serve them.”
TXM volunteer J.C. Crabtree agreed. “We want to show them the love of Christ, and we support them by showing them the love of Jesus Christ through what we do.”
The group prepared the meals in the parking lot of First Methodist Church of Mansfield, just two weeks after a TXM Disaster Relief training was held there.
Feeding volunteer Vicky Hale (left photo below), who also is the church’s missions ministry associate, was a recent trainee.
“I’m here to show teachers appreciation and that they are cared about and we love them and they are not alone,” Hale said.
