Your beautiful music and arrangements inspire us greatly.” – Esteban Ochoa, Worship Leader in Puebla, Mexico 

EQUIP

When we gather, we dedicate time to worship the Lord together, and we also dedicate time to being equipped with God’s Word. Our church is deeply committed to discipleship, formation, and the spiritual growth of every believer. This is why we have Sunday School, Discipleship University, Spring Training, and more.

“We’re always encouraged to keep growing deeper in the Lord, making God the one desire of our lives…We’ll never be more alive than when we’re walking closely with the Lord and being more true to who God made us to be.” — Terry Rowling, Member

SERVE

This year, we were on mission to reach people all around the world for Christ through our Local, National, and International Ministry Partners.

Our Senior Adult members went to Cuba with World Link Ministries to serve and evangelize. Over 1,000 people made decisions for Christ, the gospel was shared with over 400 students at Vacation Bible School, and 20 people were baptized.

We sponsored the One for Israel conference for believing soldiers at the Sea of Galilee. Approximately 170 soldiers attended, and they found encouragement and strength in God during their challenging times in both military service and daily life.

Through our partnership with Mission House, our largest-ever Guatemala team of 29 members built 14 homes for single mothers and widows and provided medical care to 425 people, sharing the gospel with each one.

In Kenya, during a national doctors’ strike, our mission team provided essential medical care, hosted VBS, and led 66 individuals to Christ—including 8 hotel employees during an impromptu clinic.

Locally, we partnered with Send Relief to transform Lake June Baptist Church, ensuring their sanctuary and facilities are ready to reach more souls in South Dallas and Mesquite.

INFLUENCE

Matthew 28:19 says to go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit

Through Pathway to Victory and the First Dallas iCampus, we are transforming the world with God’s Word using the ever-changing power of technology. This year:

• 169% growth in the iCampus, with 494 decisions for Christ and 5 million weekly views.
• Pathway to Victory welcomed new initiatives like Camino a la Victoria (PTV in Spanish) and continued as TBN’s #1 broadcast program for 52 consecutive months.

MINISTRY MULTIPLIED

Through partnerships with organizations like MEDIA Alliance, our reach has expanded to over 45 countries. This year included Leadership Forums in Istanbul and Cyprus and broadcasting Pathway to Victory to 150 million Russian speakers.

In the Philippines, 34 church planters—supported by World Link Ministries—established 146 churches, leading over 10,191 people to Christ this year alone!

“Thank you, First Dallas Family, for your commitment to missions. We’re grateful to partner with you and see the incredible fruit of this work around the globe.” – Dr. Manny Fernandez, Founding President, World Link Ministries 

As we close 2024, we rejoice in all that God has done through our church family. Thank you for being part of this mission, and we look forward to what He will accomplish in the year ahead!
