A Little Girl from Copperas Cove Who Is Without Hope



Does Copperas Cove/Killeen/Lampasas
need believing residents who see themselves 
as missionaries of Hope to their own communities?

You tell me.

What are you able to observe from this photo?

1. This child who wrote this was in the toy aisle. 2. More specifically this child was in the Barbie aisle. 
From this we can assume the following: 
-This child was a girl because it was written in the Barbie aisle. Also because it was written in pink.
-This was a child of at least 7 because she was able to write at a 2nd grade level.
-This child was likely not more than 10 or 11 because that is the age that little girls generally stop playing with Barbies.
-This child's life is miserable.
-This child has no hope.
-This child needs someone to love her.
-This child needs faith in the Anchor of Hope.

Do you know any children who are like this child?

Are you investing in their lives?

If not, are you ready to get started?

If you do not know how or where to get started but are willing to, then come to The Desire of the Nations Missions Conference. We are not just focused on those in other countries but those who live across town and across the street. 

So please, come and enjoy God with us!!!!



I took this picture on the toy isle at Wal Mart in Copperas Cove.

Simple Evangelism in the Church

Found at the Gospel Coalition

Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). Loving one another in the body of Christ has many benefits. Two that regularly come to mind are the glory it gives to God and the way it affects the church. However, one of the primary benefits of loving one another is what it declares before a watching world. One of our most potent instruments we have for effective evangelism is Christians loving each other well.  I am “living” proof.
As a freshman college student and self-declared atheist, I attended a campus Christian fellowship to fulfill a promise to a Christian friend. I only had the intention to go once. It was merely duty and upholding my word, nothing more. I went begrudgingly, but I went. My life was never the same.
I walked into a room full of Christians and was struck by what I observed. Here was a diverse group. They were from every walk of life. I remember scanning the room and labeling people in my mind, “There is a jock, over there is a geek, and walking in the door is a boy scout.” But what struck me was that they were together. They weren’t just together in the same room, they were together in every sense of the word. They were actually talking with each other and genuinely seemed happy to be together. There didn’t seem to be division. Even in my atheist mind, I knew what I was seeing: they loved one another.
I had no categories for this, so I kept returning to find out why they had love like this for one another. Over the course of a few months I found the answer, or more accurately stated, the answer found me.
One of the best evangelism programs you can start at your church is to pursue loving one another well. At some point they will have to hear the gospel proclaimed from your lips or the pulpit, but that “strange love” will set the table before them. People will know that you are His disciples, because it is a shocking love. It has a gravitational attraction, because it is a love that is foreign to this world. A love that the inquirer, if seeking an answer, will find comes from heaven.
