Seeking Support for the End of Year

Hello Family!  

Shepherd Ministries of Central Texas (SMCT), has been "an answer to prayer!" for quite a few people in multiple ways this past year. We shamelessly write this because Brent and I are called to bring the love of Christ into each situation and point people to Jesus - as He is the answer to their needs and the reason for our involvement. We witness firsthand how He touches people's lives daily with His kindness, goodness, and love and we get to share with them about His saving grace.

We often get calls like this: "Brent and Laura, can you help us find help for this elderly disabled woman? Brent, can you come talk to my cousin, he just got out of prison... Hey Brent and Laura, there's this homeless guy that needs help.... Laura, can you talk to this person and see if y'all can help them?" Over and over we answer the calls, but God gets the glory!

This last year SMCT helped many people with everyday living expenses (utilities, rent, food), medical bills, dental visits, eyeglass replacements, etc. We visit the lonely and aging, and pray with those who have no one else...We have also been a blessing to local ministries like Bastrop Pregnancy Resource Center, Hope House of Bastrop, Help For All Nations, Hands and Feet Ministry, and many others.

We have made ourselves available to the Lord to be His hands and feet, but we can't do it alone! That is where you come in. Would you help us continue to be available to answer the calls that come to us daily? We expect them to only increase. Whether it's a one-time end of year gift or a monthly commitment, no matter the size, we need help to be available to help others. We are not looking for recognition for what we do, we are just grateful for the opportunity to serve as missionaries on American soil. This is our deepest desire and with you as a partner, it will be accomplished.
