Good News Goods – Febraury 2010
Filed Under Good News Goods | Leave a Comment
Sometimes being wrong is OK. And this time, it’s actually GOOD NEWS!
In last month’s newsletter, our 2009 revenue was estimated to be around $21,000 in total sales, which created $2,000 for the Texas Baptist Offering for World Hunger and over 4,000 hours of dignified employment for our global artisan producers.
However, I was pleasantly surprised to see our final performance report numbers were actually higher than the expected outcome. Texas Baptists really purchased $26,134 in fair trade goods ($7,676 from church & University Trading Posts, $15,893 from church markets, and $2,613 from individual web orders and JUST ONE card orders). From that total, $2,613 was deposited into the Texas Baptist Offering for World Hunger to aid their relief and development ministries locally, in the U.S., and around the world. But the most exciting number is the 5,227 hours of dignified, life-altering employment that was created through Texas Baptist fair trade purchases.
This means empowerment and hope for a better life—a life with options, resources, & economic stability. This means decreased vulnerability to forced labor, and other exploitive, abusive conditions. This means mothers & fathers can feed their families, educate their children, and develop sustainable, thriving communities. This means the image of God is being restored in people around the world—people who might otherwise never experience the physical hope of God’s kingdom on earth, and the unconditional love of Jesus Christ through the missional living of His disciples.
So thank you, Texas Baptists, for embodying the call of Jesus to “Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.”

Food Policy Roundtable
On January 20, the CLC, along with members of a small steering committee, convened the first ever meeting of the Texas Food Policy Roundtable. This new coalition is one way the CLC is committed to fighting hunger in Texas and support the goal of the Texas Hunger Initiative of ending hunger in Texas by 2015. To reach this lofty, but obtainable goal, work must be done not only on the local level through THI’s Food Planning Associations, but also on a statewide level by looking at how good public policy can help make Texas food secure.
The meeting was a success with over forty individuals representing diverse organizations, many of whom had not previously met, in attendance. The group heard a recap of workshops conducted at the Hunger Summit, heard from expert advocates about the recent history of food and hunger policy in Texas, and learned current ways they can advocate for hungry citizens on the state and federal level. In the coming months the roundtable work toward crafting policy priorities that support advocacy efforts in four categories: children’s summer feeding programs, nutrition and obesity, local and sustainable food and SNAP (food stamp) enrolment and eligibility.
The CLC will coordinate communication to and among roundtable members and in the coming weeks will be launching an email newsletter and website dedicated to hunger policy.
Hispanic Education Leadership Day
On Tuesday, February 2, 2010, the Christian Life Commission was happy to host members of the Hispanic Education Initiative Council, officers from Convención, members of the education committee of Convención, Texas Baptists Associate Executive Director, Steve Vernon, members of Texas Baptist Men and WMU leadership, as well as members of the BGCT Executive Board, for a day of advocacy and learning about education issues in Texas. The event was held at the state Capitol and included a time for participants to meet with their state legislators’ office about relevant interim charges.
The day’s speakers included Jan Lindsey from the Texas Education Agency, who spoke on dropout prevention in the state, and Sylvia Acevedo, renowned public speaker and founder of La Feria para Aprender (a bilingual parent outreach fair held in various cities across the state), who discussed Texas demographics both present and future and what it means for education and the workforce in Texas. Bill Pounds from the educational software group AZTEC gave a demonstration of the company’s workforce training software program, and Luis Figueroa, an attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), spoke about the DREAM Act, the Census and federal and state immigration issue. Lester Meriwether, president of Literacy Connexus, gave a presentation on the Literacy Texas coalition as well. In small groups, participants discussed what they had learned from the day and how they can implement that knowledge into their church lives and communities. Thank you to the participants; it was indeed a blessed day!
Public Policy at the CLC Annual Conference
On March 22 & 23 the CLC Annual Conference will be held at Calvary Baptist Church in McAllen, TX. The theme this year is Neither Need Nor Greed: Christian Stewardship of Money and Resources. Several speakers will touch on topics relating to public policy including predatory business practices like payday lending, the lottery and gambling. Stephen Reeves of the CLC and consultant Rob Kohler will make a presentation explaining why current law and past history demonstrate that the idea of limited casino gambling expansion in Texas is flawed and would lead to uncontrolled and unregulated Native American Casinos.

There is a legend of a wanderer who rounded a corner to see a large giant asleep on its side. Fearing that the giant would stir and threaten, the wanderer hid in nearby brush keeping an eye on the sleeping beast. After several hours the giant was gone – but not because it stirred and rose in gargantuan power. Curiously the wanderer watched as the extremities of the imposing beast shimmered and gradually dissolved into small, energetic dwarves – they eagerly exited out of the large form and headed out into the forests and byways. Then the arms one by one similarly dissolved into a host of duty bound sprites and so on until the giant was transformed into hundreds of energetic souls each slipping away to an appointed task. From the hiding place, the wanderer could see, there was no beast at all. The fearful form was transformed by the purposeful tasks of dedicated people one by one.
This is how I see hunger. Its shadowy, large, painful figure is blocking the road of hope. But this is also how I have seen the transformation of its beastliness….I see the hope of shimmering transformation through the simple energy of individuals willing to do their part. Like Eric Cooper, Director of the San Antonio Food bank telling of the search for his missing father. Surprised to find him hungry and on the street, he was changed forever when taking his dad to a nearby Denny’s the waitress ignored the elder man and asked Eric if he wanted a table for one. “No, no,” he blurted out, “this is my dad.”…. “No hungry person is invisible to me anymore,” Eric said. This is a picture of the Texas Hunger Initiative, a host of small acts that dismantle a giant. Bill Ludwig, USDA is sure that “No child should go to bed hungry in this country, especially in Texas.” And he means it – he passed out map after map showing where hungry children still have a gap for nutrition. “We are looking for matchmakers who can fill the gap for just a few children.” It is not much –not much effort, not much time, not much diversion from a busy life. But packing a backpack lunch or spreading sandwiches that are loaded on a delivery truck can dismantle a hunger giant.
As simple as 1,2,3….for summer 2010 a giant can be dispelled for thousands of Texas children. Every community has summer feeding sites but many of the families nearby, don’t know where to go, or when.
#1 Would you be willing to join others on May 22th to walk and pray through neighborhoods to pass out flyers that show parents and children where to get meals all summer? The beast would lose a leg thanks to you.
#2 would you be a willing volunteer to serve meals or help kids at a site that needs a few more hands on deck? This is as simple as a weekly shift, or even providing playtime games for kids that gather. Literally, it’s child’s play.
#3 Would you be willing to dismantle a beast of hunger by joining with a mission church, apartment complex or school to serve summer meals where none are available now? Many communities need a new summer site to fill the gap for hungry children, especially in neighborhoods that have recently grown or have new families moving in.
You are not alone. The Texas Hunger Initiative is marshalling an army of willing hands. Jeremy Everett, Director of the THI remarked that he looks forward to answering his young children in a few years. He wants to hear them ask incredulously, “You mean there were people in Texas who were not fed? I cannot even imagine that!” It is my hope that he can answer… “Yes, you see there used to be a massive hunger beast in the road, but little by little it dissolved away. And if you look right over here, you’ll see the ordinary people who equipped with nothing but compassionate Christian love made it go away.”
Be ye doers of the word and the relevance of the gospel will dismantle a dark and lingering beast.

In your local communities, you may come across this question often. The short answer is Yes, we can! All you need to do is build the will.
Here are six shorthand arguments you may find useful in talking about our 2015 goal:
- We have the tools… We produce enough food in America to feed everyone – the problem is getting food to the right people, at the right time, and at the right price. This is a logistical problem, not a resource issue, and so is solvable.
- A measureable problem is a solvable problem… For the first time, the Texas Hunger Initiative is creating an index of how many meals will be needed statewide to achieve food security. Once we have that number, we will have a concrete goal that will be within our reach –an equation that has a solution!
- The stars are aligned… For the first time in recent memory, hunger has become a priority among our elected and appointed leaders. The Texas Hunger Initiative has the support of USDA, the Texas Department of Agriculture, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and other influential partners statewide. They all want to solve this problem!
- An ounce of prevention… Hunger costs local communities millions each year in lost worker productivity, student achievement and health care costs. Solving hunger will be much cheaper in the long run than letting it continue. We can also add more than a billion dollars worth of economic development for local communities by signing up eligible participants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
- Eating the Elephant… Ending hunger is like eating an elephant – one piece at a time! While your local efforts may seem small compared with the overall problem, there are people like you across Texas taking small bites every day, and together we have the power to end hunger for good.
- Hunger is Unacceptable… Most Texans, regardless of politics or party, agree that in a state as great as Texas, and in a nation as great as America, hunger is unacceptable. Just like social problems of the past, we can end hunger if you can help us turn this sentiment into action!

Living the Christian Life – Texas ranks first in childhood hunger
Filed Under Living the Christian Life | Leave a Comment
By Jeremy Everett, Director, Texas Hunger Initiative
Recently, I sat down with a student who recounted a childhood riddled with hunger. The student’s family would frequently punish her by refusing to feed her for days at a time. One summer during high school, the student was given one bag of Ramen noodles for each day of the summer. Unfortunately, these stories are becoming too common in our state.
Texas ranks first in childhood hunger in the United States. We rank second in food security as a state, i.e., 1.4 million Texans are food insecure, which means they are unsure where they will get their next meal. Last summer only 9 percent of eligible children participated in the state’s Summer Meals Program, which provides up to two meals a day for food-insecure children in Texas. Half of eligible families do not receive SNAP funds, which would give families supplemental dollars to purchase fresh food.
Fortunately, organizations and individuals are coming together with the goal of Food Security in Texas by 2015. That means that everyone in Texas will have access to three meals a day seven days a week. The CLC and the Texas Hunger Initiative, along with a number of partners such as the USDA, Texas Department of Agriculture, Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Impact, and the Texas Food Bank Network, held a Texas at the Table Hunger Summit at Baylor University in November with many Texas Baptists Hunger Advocates to launch the mission. This is the first time as a state we have all come together to work alongside the hungry in our communities to make food security a reality.
12Now the day was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat; for here we are in a desolate place.” 13But He (Jesus) said to them, “You give them something to eat!” (Luke 9-12-13, NASB)

On December 17, 2009, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration published a bulletin update reporting that adolescents perceive a greater risk to using Tobacco Products Than Illicit Drugs or Binge Drinking. Perceptions of lower risk may influence decisions to experiment with drugs.
Adolescents across all age groups perceive a greater risk to smoking cigarettes than the use of alcohol and other substances including cocaine and LSD. An individual’s perception of risk about a substance can be a key factor whether they decide to refrain from using.
Interesting facts from the report include:
- Nearly 70 percent of adolescents aged 12-17 perceived great risk from smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day. This rate was stable across age groups.
- Only 40 percent of adolescents perceived great risk from binge drinking (having five or more drinks of alcohol once or twice a week), and just over one third (34.2 percent) perceived great risk from smoking marijuana once a month. About half perceived great risk in using cocaine once a month (49.7 percent) or LSD once or twice (50.9 percent).
- Females were more likely than males to perceive great risk from smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day, from having five or more drinks of alcohol once or twice a week, and from smoking marijuana once a month; males were more likely than females to perceive great risk from trying heroin once or twice.
It is important for churches, youth groups and adults to discuss the realities and risks of substance abuse with the adolescents that we have the chance to influence.

Living the Christian Life – 2010 Statewide Christian Life Conference
Filed Under Living the Christian Life | Leave a Comment
March 22 – 23, 2010 “Neither Need Nor Greed: Christian Stewardship of Money and Resources,”
For Christians and everyone else, money matters. Especially now, during a time of economic stress when unemployment remains high in the aftermath of a global financial crisis, we are understandably concerned with economic survival, debt, and how to best manage our resources. Yet money and finances are not just survival issues, but ethical issues as well. What we do with our money, especially when most of the world’s inhabitants have even less money than we do, is a focal point of Scripture. The Bible makes it clear that what we do with our money matters to God.
Under the theme, “Neither Need Nor Greed: Christian Stewardship of Money and Resources,” the 2010 statewide Christian Life Conference will offer practical and spiritual help for Christians regarding our use of the monetary and material resources which God has entrusted to us. As the following program listing details, very able leadership will offer wisdom, insight, and hands-on help regarding financial stewardship in the service of God’s kingdom and our own valid needs.
Conference registration is $45 ($10 for students). All sessions will be held at Calvary Baptist Church, 1600 Harvey, McAllen. Overnight accommodations are available at the Wingate by Wyndham, 1500 Wichita Avenue, adjacent to the airport. Make reservations by calling (956) 632-2000. Mention Christian Life Conference for special rates ($84, single or double). Please make reservations by February 28 to secure the conference rate.

Good News Goods – January 2010
Filed Under Good News Goods, Good News Goods Updates | Leave a Comment
What an exciting beginning to this ministry! In November and December of 2009, 9 churches and 3 universities hosted a Good News Goods Fair Trade event. Proceeds from these events are estimated to be around $21,000, which in turn created over 4,000 hours of dignified employment for poor artisans around the world (every $5=1 hour of employment), as well as $2,000 for the Texas Baptist Offering for World Hunger relief and development ministries (10% of yearly proceeds are deposited into the Offering).
Here is what some ministers have to say about their Good News Goods event:
In the beautiful Christmas carol “O Holy Night,” Christians joyfully sing,
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
This year during Advent, Willow Meadows Baptist Church focused on what it means that through Christ’s birth, chains are broken, peace is ushered in, and oppression ceases. We asked ourselves how we can participate in this liberation, especially during a season that focuses not on freedom, but on consumerism. Good News Goods was the perfect complement to our Advent theme. Not only did we get to buy amazing gifts to celebrate Christ’s birth, but we also joined in with people around the world to help break the bonds of slavery and human trafficking. In essence, we had the chance to put our faith into action.
We at Willow Meadows Baptist Church loved the market because our congregation got to break chains in the name of Christ. We had members emailing all their friends (Christians and non-Christians) inviting them to the market so that their shopping could make a difference. We saw people read the stories of the artisans and understand that slavery still exists and that human trafficking is real, even in our own city of Houston.
It is our hope and plan to continue to have a Good News Goods market during both the Advent and Lenten seasons because it gives us the chance to put hands, feet, and dollars to the words that we sing. And in His name, all oppression shall cease.

Associate Pastor for Youth and Children

Williams Trace Baptist invested in Good News Goods because it made sense with God’s call on our lives as Christians in the market place today. We believe that in all we do, we should be trying to live out the Gospel message and this includes how we spend our money. The problem has always been we don’t have the resources to understand how to redemptively spend. Good News Goods gave our congregation a jumpstart on purchasing products that make a difference. Charlotte’s presentation during our Sunday school times and morning service gave us further insight and resources so that all of our spending can be used for good. The event was a huge success for our church and began several conversations that are ongoing about fair trade, human trafficking, and the difference we are called to make as a result of our knowledge, God’s grace and love, and our call to bring good news to the poor and oppressed. We plan on placing many products in our church bookstore and having the market at least once a year.

I’m certainly happy to tell you that our people have been very receptive and supportive of the concept of Good News Goods. We used the brief video clip to introduce it and placed the business-sized cards in the offering plates, asking for people to take one and go on-line to see what might be available and make their selections accordingly. All of the cards were taken, so we ordered an additional number to be used as we repeated it the next week, also with the mini-kit of items to display from Trade-As-One. We continue to have the items on display and have the unclaimed cards available in our welcome center and various places throughout our Grand Hall area. Several people have indicated that they have made purchases on-line, including my purchases and some my wife has made. We are very pleased and thankful for the opportunity to make “redemptive purchases”!

Good News Goods brought truly good news to Second Baptist Church of Lubbock. The timing seemed providential. We had just finished a stewardship study that emphasized God’s provision and supply, and we had followed that with an Advent emphasis on giving simple gifts, so buying everyday products that would simultaneously provide economic support for folks who truly needed it encouraged us to consider our own blessings and how best to share them.
Good News Goods is a strong vehicle to raise consciousness about Third World needs and the many global hardships that people endure on a daily basis. Our congregation viewed the video clips about the individual producers of Good News Goods at our weekly Wednesday night supper, which brought the social and economic issues up close for personal observation and absorption. Our folks were then touched and inspired to participate, knowing that the funds that were raised were going to meet real needs of real people.
There is so much cynicism and skepticism in our culture these days regarding efforts to provide help through charitable and/or non-profit organizations. Good News Goods provides a way to slice through that cynicism and remind Christians how holy it feels to be part of a solution that is bigger than ourselves.
We are already looking forward to hosting our second Fair Trade Market in 2010.

TBOWH Updates – January 2010
Filed Under TBOWH Updates | Leave a Comment
The 2009 final numbers are in!!! $901,401 total receipts for the Texas Baptist Offering for World Hunger! This number reflects a $162,123 increase over 2008. Well done good and faithful Texas Baptists! Needy people all over the world have been helped because of you.
One of the examples of this help comes from Redeeming Grace Baptist Church in San Antonio where World Hunger funds were sent to their food pantry this year. Marion Thomas, a member of Redeeming Grace, told us, “After suffering a neck injury, I thought I had nothing left to give. I couldn’t sit in one place for extended periods, nor could I stand on my feet for long. I took 12 pills a day simply to make it through the pain.”
Marion decided that what she could give, she’d offer up to God by volunteering at Redeeming Grace Baptist Church. There she discovered she had much more left than she ever imagined. What began as short periods of helping in various efforts around the church evolved into full days of activity. Then it became several days a week of ministry as she started the congregation’s food distribution effort. She took small steps of faith, and she says God rewarded her for being obedient.
The first year of the outreach, the congregation provided food for about 2,000 people. As Thomas worked, she felt herself growing stronger, able to work harder and longer without pain. Two years later and pain free as the congregation’s administrator, Thomas coordinates one of the largest hunger ministries in South Central Texas, providing food for more than 35,000 people this year.
“I’m just a living witness when you give yourself to Christ and you help other people, He will help you,” she said of the healing she has experienced as she has served others.
For thousands across South Central Texas, Thomas’ commitment to serve was a God-send before they knew they’d need it. When the economy crashed this year and more people became down on their luck, Redeeming Grace Baptist Church’s volunteer base and financial resources already had to grown to the point that the congregation was there for them.
Some people drive more than 50 miles to get food from the church. Individuals who line up an hour before food is distributed tell stories of losing their jobs, of working but not being able to support their families or of being homeless. One person came to church after not eating for three days, begging volunteers for anything to eat, even cat food. Many who come to the church for sustenance are elderly. Many others are single parents who come to the church with young children in tow.
The congregation’s desire to feed the hungry embodies the spirit of Texas Hope 2010, an initiative of Texas Baptists to pray for others, care for people in need and share the gospel with every Texan by Easter 2010. Redeeming Grace Christian Church recently was selected to receive a $10,000 Texas Hope 2010 Care Grant through the Texas Baptist Offering for World Hunger.
“It’s a very difficult time for people,” said Bishop Brent Bryant, Sr., the church’s senior pastor. “I’m hearing all kinds of stories, all kinds of issues that are happening. I understand that because of our economy. People are hungry, so we’re doing the very best we can by offering them food.”
The first 5th Sunday Observance for World Hunger will be January 31. New video clip highlighting water wells in Peru available for free download.
