At Pursue 2025, your generous donations of hygiene kits and supplies enabled WMU Border Ministries to assemble and distribute over 300 Compassion Bags to families along the Texas/Mexico border.

This year, we will collect similar supplies to help even more families along the border. Please bring the following supplies to Pursue 2026!

NEW: Donate Tote Bags: Have too many tote bags in your closet? Donate your unused WMU of Texas or Texas Baptists tote bags at the mission project area. Your donation will help us deliver essential items to those in need in 2026!

From August 13-16, 2026, you can bring hope and healing to those in need through a back-to-school drive and block party, benefiting children and families in the Brownsville area. 

During this event, WMU of Texas will organize a block party featuring a school supplies drive, as well as crafts and activities for kids.

Volunteers will have an opportunity to share the Gospel with children and adults, as we provide activities and play for children while other events in the area meet additional needs in the community.
