Let Your Light SO Shine! 2011 Summary

The Sugar Creek Christmas Mission Offering is one of the most impacting Kingdom investments you can make.  This year’s goal is $400,000.  As a missionary people this goal is achievable as each of us give with confidence that God will bear Kingdom fruit through the gift.   Consider the impact your giving made during 2011.  Prayerfully consider your contribution above the tithe and make your check out to Sugar Creek with the designation “Missions”.  On Sunday Dec 18, and 25 there will be a special offering for the Christmas Mission Offering.

Your gifts to the Sugar Creek Christmas Mission Offering helped make the following happen during 2011:

  • Over 1000 Sugar Creek Servants proclaiming Jesus Christ in word and deed in both local and global kingdom projects. 
  • Special significant gift for the Seminary and their needed library at the Darrington prison in Fort Bend County.  Yes…a Baptist theological seminary in a Texas prison!  
  • Sugar Creek conducted an English Culture Camp among the unreached people of the Tonga of Mozambique.  This camp is the catalyst that God is using to transform Tonga men and women and make them leaders of the House Church Movement.  
  • Support the ongoing development of Muslim and Hindu focused leadership/learning communities that are reorienting their lives to reach lost people in our region using the best mission practices.
  • Funded the one year church planting school in Madyha Pradesh, India that resulted in 23 new churches and 245 baptisms.  This in an Indian state where it is against the law to convert to Christianity.  
  • We provided training and  support for over 50 missionaries to the multicultural community of Southwest Houston.  We live in one of the most complex multi-cultural communities in the world.  Sugar Creek is the catalyst God is using to realize a reproducible disciple making movement for multi-cultural North American cities.
  •  Significant support for Second Mile Mission Center and Living Water International
  • Provided support for over 200 Sugar Creek members to GO Forth! and share their love, spiritual gifts, and talents on Sugar Creek’s short-term “LifeChange” mission trips.
  • Significant support for a ministry that tangibly supports Israeli Messianic followers of Jesus that are actively evangelizing Jews in Israel.  
  • Support for Creek Kids on Mission Projects that are helping our children learn about the mission of God as they participate in the mission.  
  • Support for an outstanding missionary team that is living in a highly restrictive Muslim country and making disciples.  We are absolutely blessed to be part of this extraordinary Kingdom project.  
  • Support for 3 Apartment Life missionary families in our community.
  • Over 15 housing reclamation projects for the poor in Fort Bend County.
  • Youth projects throughout our region.
  • Support for 2 new church plants in Houston (Mid-town and Sunnyside) and 2 new church plants (Boston & New York City) in strategic cities of North America
  • Funded 350 kids to attend Sugar Creek’s Urban Camp for free!
  • Support for the 5000+ missionaries of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board that led to over 360,000 baptisms and approximately 30,000 new churches in the dark places of the world. 
  • Significant support for Sugar Creek Missionaries in Osh Kyrgyzstan, Mozambique, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, Honduras, and more…
  • Chinese Evangelistic Crusade at Sugar Creek with over 3000 people per night.
  • Fund the projects for Lead 222 and Servant Saturday that allow Sugar Creek members to have hands-on involvement in significant Kingdom projects that support our strategic mission partnerships among the refugee community and in Houston’s Third Ward. 
  • Funded the beginning year of a new Christian Academy, the GenerationOne Academy, in Houston’s Third Ward.
  • Launching, and supporting using the best methods, a disciple making movement among five of the most restrictive Muslim people groups in Ethiopia.  
  • Major Christmas and Easter outreach projects in our community.
  • Significant support for Pregnancy Resource Centers and for Alliance Defense Fund that is a world-class organization defending our Christian rights through the judicial system.  
  • Training and equipping of hundreds of Sugar Creek mission servants to include sending them to the best conferences in the country for the needed training.  

And SO, SO much more… “let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”.

Your peers, the leaders of Sugar Creek mission efforts to include the Mission Committee, provide accountability and oversight for the development and funding of all projects and partnerships.  

Prayerfully consider how you can participate through the gift of your resources for the advancement of the Kingdom through your church.   There is no better Kingdom investment.
