The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is a body of like-minded local churches cooperating together to reach the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. There are currently more than than fifty thousand Southern Baptist cooperating churches and church-type missions. Though as many as two hundred could be counted as “mega-churches,” the vast majority run less than two hundred in weekly worship. No two churches are alike; but there are certain commonalities that bind Southern Baptists together, regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, language, size, or location. | |

In a world full of pain and hurt, God calls His people to be beacons of light. Since 1967, Texans on Mission – historically called Texas Baptist Men – have sought to do just that by meeting needs and sharing God's love with millions of people during their most difficult days. Christian volunteers like you have served after hurricanes, tornadoes, fertilizer plant explosions, floods, a pandemic and more. Texans on Mission volunteers walk alongside those who are suffering and change the world one act of service and compassion at a time. By meeting crucial needs after a disaster, providing clean drinking water for people around the globe and undertaking construction projects, volunteers share God’s love with hurting people in Texas, across the U.S. and around the world. Since 1967, volunteers have delivered help, hope and healing to millions of hurting people and raising up the next generation to do likewise. As a result of that service, we've helped start and train disaster relief groups in all 50 states, giving birth to the third-largest disaster relief network in the nation. | |

From humble beginnings in 1978, two brothers - a 19-year-old Bible college freshman and a 14-year-old high schooler - sold a few discounted academic titles to fellow students and pastors from their parents' home. Orders poured in, and the small house's driveway, bedrooms, and garage overflowed with boxes of books. After four decades of continued dedication to selection, savings, and service, Christianbook now has more than 600 employees and 500,000 Christian products in a 370,000-square-foot facility. The younger of the two brothers still owns and runs the company with his son. |
