Events
Bayou City Zone Fall Rally
Memorial Lutheran Church Lutheran Women in Mission hosted our Fall Rally on September 12, 2026. We had 39 in attendance. Martha Van Buskirk, author of “Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Grace” was our guest speaker and spoke on the Goodness of God. Martha’s theme verse: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17
We re-elected our President, Treasurer and Christian Life Chairman and they were installed for another term. President Tracie encouraged support for the upcoming convention in Oklahoma City by promoting the convention shirt pre-sale and asking for volunteers for workers at the convention.
Our attendees were generous with their offerings. Not only were we able to send a nice donation to mites, attendees of the rally also brought diapers and baby wipes for donation to Houston Coalition for Life. We collected over 2,000 diapers and hundreds of wipes.
BCZ received a beautiful note from Houston Coalition for Life acknowledging our gift and letting us know the items will make a practical difference and are a great blessing to the families they serve through their Blue Blossom Pregnancy Centers. Houston Coalition for Life has now been serving women for over 20 years promoting life affirming alternatives to abortion
Bayou City Zone Spring Rally
Pilgrim Lutheran Church Women of Worth hosted our Spring Rally on March 21, 2026. We had 33 people in attendance. Our guest speaker, Jehoshibah Kurapati, spoke on how she began her Basket of Hope India Mission. Her faith in God gave her comfort and hope during her cancer diagnoses, treatment, and ultimate recovery. She thought of all the suffering children in her native India and wanted to bring this same comfort to them by sharing her hope and faith in God. During her visits to India, she brings Baskets of Hope filled with blankets, books and toys to children suffering through cancer. Through her ministry she has been able to help start six nondenominational churches. A portion of our offering collected during the rally was designated to her Basket of Hope India Mission. Our rally also included two servant events. Attendees brought non-perishable food items for donation to the Houston Food Bank. We also assembled cross necklaces for donation to “Forged by Fire” Ministry. Forged By Fire prepares meals and serves food in disaster areas and the necklaces are given to the people they serve.
