October is
Missions Month
Mark 16:15
In Luke 19, Jesus tells the parable of a wealthy landowner who gave a large amount of money to his servants to invest for him until he returned. One of the servants disappointed him by being fearful and hiding the investment without earning any interest. The other two servants were rewarded for their bold initiative and productivity. As the body of Christ, we want to use and multiply the resources God gives us to do His will and further the kingdom of God.
Second Baptist Church is a body of believers willing and eager to share what we have with others — from monetary gains, time, energy in service — to sharing the gospel. In sharing, serving and giving, we trust God to multiply our work beyond what is humanly possible.
Give Now
Dear Second Family,
Throughout the year, Second Family members demonstrate their commitment to our church’s longstanding mission to be a beacon of light and hope in our community and around the world. I am filled with gratitude for the difference you make as you serve and give to touch the lives of those who face the harsh realities of homelessness, hunger, broken families, and the devastating effects of human trafficking. Whether here in Houston or on mission trips across the globe, you provide a helping hand, a healing touch, and the good news of the gospel.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to serve others. Jesus set the example for us as He served others, washed the feet of His disciples, and hung out with those who were “down and out” and often overlooked. That is why we set aside the month of October as Missions Month, which this year has a goal of $1.75 million (over and above giving to our General Operating Budget). Locally, our financial gifts will be used to support the work of our many ministry partners who provide shelter, food, medical care, and other vital services that meet people right where they are with the love of Jesus and the transforming message of God’s grace. Internationally, our gifts will undergird the work of missionaries who serve in Asia and Africa, support organizations providing much-needed humanitarian aid, and plant churches in new areas of ministry.
We are all called to serve, and we can all do something. Please prayerfully consider how you can serve through your financial support during Missions Month.
Ben Young
Missions Offering Goal
$1.75 MillionDo nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. – Philippians 2:3-4
Local Ministries: $1,000,000
Homeless Ministries
In the Greater Houston Area, thousands of individuals – men, women, and children– are experiencing homelessness. Our ministry partners are dedicated to offering comprehensive support that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of this vulnerable population. By providing housing, workforce training, substance abuse programs, financial literacy education, and life management skills, they aim to empower individuals on their journey to stability.Family Ministries
The nuclear family is the foundation of society. Our ministry partners are committed to restoring dignity and wholeness to families in need, while sharing the message of the Gospel. They work across the city, offering support to single mothers, providing college and career preparation for students, assisting with meals and clothing, and offering employment services and financial guidance to parents.Pregnancy Care Ministries
Our pregnancy care ministries are dedicated to helping women find hope and reclaim joy during their pregnancies. Your contributions will support expectant mothers with free reproductive healthcare, including ultrasounds, prenatal care courses, diapers, and baby clothing. These ministries not only address maternal needs, but also share the hope of the Gospel with these women.Human Trafficking Ministries
Houston is the epicenter of human trafficking in the United States. Our ministry partners are committed to ending this tragedy in our city through awareness, intervention, and restoration. They offer support to rescued victims and tirelessly work to raise awareness through events, seminars, and educational training.International & Other
International Missionaries: $150,000
The reach of the Second Family spans the globe, touching lives in every corner through our support of 37 international missionaries. These dedicated servants bring the light of Christ to bustling cities in Asia and remote villages in Africa. The Mission Offering empowers them to continue their vital work, sharing the love of Jesus with those who need it most, even in the most challenging environments.Prison & Jail Ministries: $100,000
The Gospel knows no bounds. Through our ministry partners, the transformative message of Christ penetrates even the darkest cells. These partners faithfully preach the Gospel, distribute Bibles, offer counseling, and train prisoners to become missionaries within their own walls. Our support helps these ministries provide resources for reentry, guiding former inmates to rebuild their lives on the foundation of faith.New Mission Opportunities
Feeding Children Around the World: $100,000
As our church grows, the Second Family seeks to extend its compassion across the globe. We are partnering with organizations that will meet tangible needs and provide humanitarian aid to those who are impoverished, hungry, and hurting. This year, the Second Family is partnering to help feed one million underserved children each day.International Church Planting: $100,000
The 10/40 window, spanning 68 countries from Northern Africa through the Middle East to Asia, is home to thousands of unreached people groups. In 2025, through strategic partnerships, the Second Family will plant two churches in this spiritually desolate region, bringing the Gospel to those who have never heard its message of hope and salvation.Wilderness Branch Baptist Church: $300,000
Founded in 1902, Wilderness Branch Baptist Church in Richmond, Texas, has been a steadfast beacon of hope for over a century. Recently, this church embarked on a journey to build a new sanctuary, only to face significant setbacks due to dishonest contractors.
