February 2026

Hello One and All,

A few highlights since starting my new missionary assignment with the USA/Canada Region and The Cause in January 2026:

1.     So much to learn, feeling overwhelmed

2.     Great to spend time with old and new friends from around the world in Kansas City in February. It was cold!

 

3.     Transitioning out of some church responsibilities to have time to serve

4.     Interviews with intern candidates for The Cause

5.     Helping to build curriculum for the Pre-deployment training for interns

6.     Planning the new Explore events (cross-cultural and missions information step 1)

7.     Zoom calls, zoom calls and more zoom calls

8.     Talking with current and future missions sites

9.     Building a handbook for sites

10.  Continuing with my other part time gigs: Lazarian World Homes and the School of Ministry for the South Texas District.  

Been just a little busy, but it’s all wonderful things to be a part of.

Time has flown by since our last post more than two years ago. Here is an update of some of what has happened in that time.

1.     Ministry at Mid-Valley Naz in Weslaco, TX: God allowed for the construction of the new building which was badly needed, and we celebrated the one-year anniversary in August. God provided the funding to complete the building without debt. That is amazing and unheard of, but our God does great and wonderful things!

If If you have a few minutes, check out this overview video of the construction process.

Mid-Valley Naz Construction

 

The church continues to grow steadily. We have served here for 4.5 years. We started with 19 people and now there are between 50-65 each week. On Thanksgiving we had 82 in attendance! We don´t know how, but the turkey planned for 65 fed us all.

 

2.    Family: Joshua lives in Columbus, Ohio and works with a digital marketing company that specializes in helping custom home builders. His girlfriend is Jenna, and we finally got to meet her at Thanksgiving, and yes, we approve!  

     Kayley lives in Austin, TX and currently works with a school district as an Occupational Therapist. She enjoys her work, especially with the special needs kids at the high school. Her fiancé is Matt and he is a good match for Kayley. Again, we approve!

3.    The Latest: Shelley will start working once again with Global Mission as a sponsored missionary. She will be working with a new initiative called The Cause which gives opportunities for young adults to serve in a missionary setting in the USA and Canada for 2 weeks up to 2 years. 

Helping students find their call in life has been an ongoing ministry for both of us, so we look forward to what the future holds. David will continue pastoring the Mid-Valley Naz Church but will be involved from time to time as needed. Shelley will step back from some of her local church responsibilities but will continue with leading music at the church. 

We´ll have more updates as the year progresses. We pray you are well and enjoying life with Christ at the center. Reach out by email. We´d love to hear from you!

Happy New Year,

David and Shelley Webb
