Bringing Hope to the Border

Whether she’s distributing supplies and compassion bags, working on construction projects, hosting medical clinics and block parties, or providing spiritual support through gatherings and classes, WMU of Texas Border Ministries Missionary Vanessa Lerma is dedicated to showing God’s love through action.

In 2025 alone, WMU of Texas Border Ministries served over 3,000 people and celebrated 27 professions of faith. Those numbers represent beautiful stories of new beginnings.

One of those moments happened at a local park in Laredo, where a volunteer named Rita sat down with a 12-year-old girl named Elizabeth to share a Bible story. Afterward, Elizabeth eagerly asked to accept Jesus into her heart, leaving the park excited to tell her father about her decision to follow God.

The ministry also fosters deep, long-term discipleship, touching lives like Miriam’s. After taking a discipleship class, Miriam realized her childhood baptism had simply been a decision for her mother rather than herself. Deeply convicted to make her own choice, she was baptized again with “a true understanding of her faith.” Today, Miriam continues to attend church faithfully and serves on the
welcoming team.

Lord, we thank You for the incredible impact of WMU Border Ministries and the new beginnings for individuals like Elizabeth and Miriam. We pray for missionary Vanessa Lerma and her family, asking for health, strength, and discernment as they faithfully serve and Speak Jesus. Please meet the immediate physical and spiritual needs of those along the border so they may know You, and bless the volunteers undergoing training so they can faithfully fulfill Your calling. AMEN.

A NEW ROOF AND A NEW LIFE
BOUNCE STUDENT DISASTER RECOVERY COORDINATORS

“I have never seen love like I’ve seen in you people, and I want whatever you got.”

When a BOUNCE student disaster recovery team traveled to Lake Charles for a challenging roofing project, they met a young man named Tank. Tank worked the night shift, but instead of sleeping all day, he spent his afternoons climbing onto the hot roof to help the students, noting that if they were willing to sweat for his family, he should do the same. As the week progressed, the team relentlessly
showed Tank the love of Christ. Soon, Tank began asking questions about faith.

Sitting on the back of a dumpster filled with old roofing materials, BOUNCE Coordinator Shawn Edwards explained that the love Tank was seeing was Jesus. That day, Tank surrendered his life to Christ, hugging Shawn and weeping. Today, Tank’s family not only has a dry home that no longer leaks in the rain, but Tank has a new life in Christ.

Lord, we thank You for the hard work of BOUNCE Ministry Teams and how a simple new roof can lead to a new life in Christ. We pray for travel safety for BOUNCE coordinators and students heading to serve communities in need. Please guide the construction coordinators as they select the right homes and homeowners, so that meaningful ministry and Gospel conversations can take place. AMEN.
