Mission Team Members Sought for Lubbock, Texas

Located two hours from Amarillo and two hours from Midland/Odessa; Lubbock, Texas is the hub of West Texas & has a population of 230,000. Lubbock is also home to Texas Tech & Lubbock Christian University. The Lubbock church was planted in 1999 and faced strong persecution but grew steadily to over 50 faithful Christians. Between 2002 and 2004, many in the church (including leaders) moved away from Lubbock leaving 13 disciples there with no full-time leadership. Roddy and Mary Oaks were asked to lead the congregation beginning in 2004. They worked full-time jobs and led the church on a part-time basis.
