Reach Texas Missions Offering: Reaching Freeport

FREEPORT—Pointing people to Jesus Christ is the goal of everything Crossover Community Church in Freeport does.

Church planter Jonathan Sublet openly tells people in his community the church has “ulterior motives” to all the service and generosity that characterizes Crossover. Ministering to the local football team, helping kids during back-to-school season, giving families resources in credit management, offering help to job seekers—all of it, he says, is done via a desire to introduce people to Christ.

“We know the deepest need is for people to hear the gospel, so we look at all of our interactions, all of our partnerships as a way to meet people where they’re at to be able to share the gospel with them,” Sublet said. “We don’t want to send more educated, healthier, wealthier sinners to hell. We want people to have relationships with Christ and to be able to grow and mature in their relationship—not to just settle for a shallow Christianity but to have this deep relationship that he offers with deep community with him and his son.”

The annual Reach Texas mission offering is one way that Texans across the state can join hands with pastors like Sublet and churches like Crossover to take the saving truth of the gospel to as many people as possible. One hundred percent of the money given through Reach Texas does exactly that—it reaches Texas. It goes directly to the task of taking the message of hope to places like the grassy lot in Freeport that lies in a neighborhood full of people that need Jesus. People that planters like Sublet are devoting their lives to reaching with the help and support of fellow Texans.
