Houston, TX, Diaspora

Univ. Park Baptist Church

TLI is partnering with University Park Baptist Church (UPBC) to launch a new site in Houston, one of the leading refugee resettlement cities in the world. UPBC, located in the heart of the diaspora community, is enthusiastically supporting a group of pastors and developing preachers from around the city as they gather to sharpen their ability to preach expository sermons.

The workshops are scheduled to take place every other month (beginning April 2024), with participants from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. Please pray for fruitful study, growing conviction and competency, and deepening love for God’s Word among the participants.
