GABC South Missions
At Green Acres Baptist Church, we believe missions is something that we do every day. That's why we encourage our church members to engage their community with the Gospel of Christ in their daily lives. We partner with local ministries to give our members an opportunity for engagement at home, but we're also engaged across Texas, the US, and around the globe. Check out what's going on in GABC South missions below!

Tyler, TX
March 11-15
GABC South will be working with the Baptist Men of Texas to make repairs to homes damaged by flooding in March 2016. Many of these homeowners have been living in substandard living situations since those floods. We will be installing sheetrock, insulation and maybe doing some light work outdoors. We will also need people to help with food preparation for our team.
The cost for the trip is $150, and that covers your meals

Ministries & Partnerships
St. Paul Children's Foundation
During the 2015 summer, our Hub Student Ministry partnered with St. Paul Children's Foundation's summer feeding program to provide fun activities and teach Bible stories throughout the summer. One state social services auditor said this was one of the best partnerships that he had seen in the entire state of Texas.
Today, SPCF provides nutritious food, warm clothing, quality pediatric medical and dental care and spiritual support to over 40,000 children and their families each year. You can find out more about St Paul and how you can get involved by clicking here.
CERT Egg Hunt & Family Day
Each year, the Chaplains Emergency Response Team of Smith County partner with GABC South and Lone Star Baptist Church for an egg hunt for the families of Smith County First Responders. in 2017, we fed over 700 people at the event, hid over 5000 eggs, and welcomed first responders from all ares of service in the county. This annual event provides an opportunity for the families of area law enforcement and emergency personnel to get to know each other better, and gives the kids a safe, fun place to hunt eggs.
Philadelphia Blessing
Philadelphia Blessing is a food pantry that partners with the East Texas Food bank to offer emergency food distribution for Whitehouse area residents. GABC South has a continual donation box to assist with this desperate need. You can join us by bringing non-perishable food items.
Then one day Jesus will say to you "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat." Matthew 25:35
WIN Ministry
Widows in Need is a ministry to widows and widowers in the church. It is a joint effort between the missions team and the deacons. The goal is to help provide for physical needs they have, as well as be an emotional and spiritual support to them. WIN frequently partners with other ministries of the church to provide for those in need.
