We have a tremendous opportunity to support the future of missions in our state while we honor the legacy of a WMU of Texas leader.
Jeane Law loved Texas and missions. Joy Fenner says of Jeane, "My favorite memories include Jeane's genuine love for missionaries and their kids. It began when she was a Sunbeam (preschool missions organization). It grew and developed as she grew. That love expressed itself in multiple ways and continued throughout her entire life."
A $25,000 portion of Jeane's estate will be placed with the Texas Touch Tomorrow Today (TTT) Endowment at the WMU Foundation in Birmingham. Through 2018, the Texas TTT Endowment will benefit Missionary Kids (MKs). Each year, WMU of Texas sets aside $6,000 to help Texas MKs returning stateside attend the MK Re-Entry Retreat. The average cost for travel per MK is $350. WMU of Texas will host the national event in 2018.
I am challenging our state to match Jeane's $25,000 gift by our April 8-9 Annual Meeting and Missions Celebration. Adding a total of $50,000 to our TTT Endowment is a wonderful way to honor Jeane's missions legacy and strengthen our support for MKs.
