Texans on Mission mobilizes Christ followers to change the world, tackling its biggest challenges, including the need for clean water. And we're doing so through local residents in communities where God has opened doors of opportunity.
SYSTEMATIC. Texans on Mission looks for places with the greatest water need and systematically brings solutions, including drilling water wells and repairing others. As a result, the ministry creates a wave of help, hope and healing that moves across a region.
SUSTAINABLE. Community leaders are the backbone for Texans on Mission's work. Through them, we build a structure that catalyzes long-term change. As a result, the community supports its own water well, provides economic opportunities for residents and shares God’s love.
GOSPEL-CENTERED. We begin with a village Bible study led by local leaders. They bring the community together and share the Gospel with the village. God is transforming lives through water wells now and relationships with Christ for eternity.
Evangelist James Olare watched his small community Bible study transform into a 38-member church, T&UM's 46th church. Now, the organization is celebrating planting its 53rd church, with 24,600 people in Uganda currently meeting at weekly Bible studies.
