Texas/Mexico Border Ministries General Fund

Since 1948, WGM has been serving on the Mexico border in McAllen, Texas. What began as a small outreach over 70 years ago has expanded into a multi-faceted approach to spreading God’s love. Today, missionaries serve through the ministries of Taylor Christian School (TCS) and Taylor Community Center (TCC) and to provide wholistic care, discipleship, and support for families.

TCS is preparing children to build their lives on the truth of God’s Word to impact their world. TCS offers individualized education with a Christ-centered foundation and seeks to train preschool and elementary aged children to know and serve the Lord with all their heart, mind, and strength. TCS Sponsorships can make the dream of a private Christian education a reality for families on the Mexico border. 

Opened in 2005, TCC has become the hub of missions work in McAllen. TCC serves as the TCS library, chapel, gym, and cafeteria during daytime hours and is available in the evenings and weekends for community sports teams, youth groups, and churches. After school, TCC has its own sports ministry, the Soccer Lions Academy, which provides community youth with an opportunity to join a league and participate in practices and weekly games. 

TCC is currently constructing additional classrooms, restrooms, office space, and air conditioning the gym through the Taylor Transformation Project. Project completion will increase the space of the facility and provide more opportunities for adult education and after school tutoring with the goal of transforming lives through the power of the Gospel. 

Poverty presents a serious issue to families on the border who often struggle to obtain adequate food and clothing. In keeping with WGM’s commitment to reaching the whole person, The Sparrow’s Nest—an outreach program of the TCC—collects gently used clothing and nonperishables and redistributes them to the community at a low cost while seeking share the love of Christ to teach recipients personal stewardship.
