On September 1, 2011, the Church Starting Team had the privilege of honoring two great women of missions for their faithful service to the Texas Baptists Missions Funding Group committee. Mrs. Anna Marie Edgemon and Mrs. Betty Jo Craig began their time of service in January 2006 and fulfilled their commitments in September 2011.
During this time, they played a fundamental role in creating the New Church Starting process. We are grateful for their contribution to Church Starting and we recognize their love for missions.
