As a cooperating Southern Baptist Church, we support missionaries locally, statewide, nationwide & internationally, through the Cooperative Program.  We also support two missionaries on an individual basis:

Boyd and Jennie Hatchel - Central and Eastern Europe

Boyd and Jennie Hatchel with their children Mallory, Miles, Madison, and Mason serve as International Mission Board Missionaries to the Romany (Gypsy) people group in Central and Eastern Europe.  For five years they lived and ministered among the Roma in Romania. In 2005, their team's ministry expanded to include the Roma in some of the surrounding countries. To better facilitate their team's new territory, the Hatchels relocated to the Czech Republic in August 2005. 

Boyd is a graduate of the University of North Texas (Denton, TX) and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Ft. Worth, TX). Jennie has an education degree from Louisiana College (Pineville, LA) and attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Ft. Worth, TX).

Boyd serves as the Strategy Coordinator for Team Romany. Jennie serves as the team's Prayer Coordinator and Entry Orientation Coordinator.  Prior to their being appointed to minister among the Roma, Jennie taught school in Texas and Boyd served as Associate Pastor of our own Parkway Baptist Church.

Paul and Sophie Liu - People's Republic of China

The People’s Republic of China is the most populated nation (1.3 billion people) on the face of the earth. It is also an officially atheistic country and is one of the least evangelized nations in the world.  For every 7,000 believers, there is only one ordained pastor.  It is easily the neediest country in today's mission field.

Reverend Paul Liu, and his wife Sophie, created the Ark Project to bring the word of God to the people of China. They know the language.  They know the culture.  They know the people.  They know the church.  They know the Lord.  They know the opportunities.

They interpret, evaluate and negotiate the environment with a Chinese mind and are uniquely qualified to bring the word of God to the Chinese people.  They have established connections and relationships that are vital to their mission.  The Liu's purpose is to bring lost sheep to the Ark.  To bring lost souls to the Cross. 

The cost of travel rises daily.  Bibles for new believers and study Bibles for other preachers are a necessity.  For more information about this mission, you may contact Kirk Taylor at crosseyed68@tx.rr.com.
