SOUTH TEXAS SCHOOL OF CHURCH STARTING
Success Story

The South Texas School of Church Stating has been a blessing to those attending. Since we began in March of 2010 the attendance has been an average of 14. Among those attending are church planters, sponsor church pastors, associational leaders, and core group members.

One of the church planters who has been attending is the pastor of Iglesia Bautista El Buen Pastor, Jaime Mata. Three of his core group members are also attending with him. God has moved in the hearts of two of these men through the training and they feel led to be church planters.

Librado Zavala has begun a home bible study and has a group of 14 meeting each week. He plans on launching a church start the first Sunday in October.

Victor Torres also has started a bible study in a Colonia with an attendance each week of 11, and will be launching a church start on 10-10-10 (Sept.10, 2010).

These are just two of the great things God is doing through the South Texas School of Church Starting.

1st Cowboy Church of Burnet

June 1, 2010
Throughout the first two months of 2010, old friends were supportive, new
friends were made, bonds were formed and new trails forged as prayers
and plans were put into motion and avenues were pursued to see a BGCT/
Western Heritage Cowboy Church established in Burnet County. Those many
prayers came to fruition on March 7, 2010, as the 1st Cowboy Church of
Burnet held her first service at the Burnet County Rodeo and Fairgrounds
Meeting Hall in Burnet, Texas, with a core group of 18.

Blessings continue to abound as the first three exciting months have
drawn to a close. May 22 and 23 was the official launch date of FCCB with
an attendance of 34 for Bar-B-Q and gospel music on both days. Area
musicians blessed the audience with their singing and musical talents.

Sincere appreciation goes to our church family and friends at FBC Weir,
the members of Travis County Cowboy Church, the staff of the BGCT/
Western Heritage/TFCC and the Burnet/Llano Baptist Association; as you
have each made this ministry possible through your prayers and generous
support. With grateful hearts the members of FCCB wish to say THANK
YOU!

For the Kingdom,

Glen Hickman, Pastor

C3 Denton Baptisms

Dustin and Domingo

Hey Folks,
Above, you see Dustin Aguilar, one of our leaders, baptizing Domingo Rodriguez. This is from our Baptism service this last Sunday, May 2. We were privileged to baptize 7 people on the Courthouse Lawn in downtown Denton. It was an unbelievable day for everyone involved with us, and a huge milestone for our church. Please celebrate with us the new life of God in the lives of these 7 people.

New Generations Baptisms

Pictures from New Generations Fellowship New Braunfels baptism in the Guadalupe River. This wonderful new hispanic church baptized 26 people on Sunday May 2, 25 of them from professions of faith through their church, and 1 who is from Dallas, who was just floating the river, saw the baptism, and paddled over and asked 'May I be baptized?". After confirming that in fact the person has trusted Jesus Christ, Pastor Joe Tostado baptized her!
New Generations Fellowship is a year and a half old; they have just gone to two services and each of the last 2 Sundays their Sunday Worship attendance has exceeded 200. They have baptized over 60 new believers. They also have a dozen Life Groups (home cell groups) and a strong Kids' Club after school ministry to at risk children.
