Virtual Tour Continues Mission Makeover Sewing Room

Welcome to our virtual ministry tour. I hope you've enjoyed the last few days of vintage photo's and stories. Today we invite you to join us for a little tour of the Mission Makeover sewing room(s) . . .

I wonder if anyone remembers our actual first 'temporary' location?

Leave a comment if you remember!

Sewing Room #1 was at our Pipeline location. In this room we had space for 6 sewing machines and we were squeezed in. I love this photo showing the girls hard at work. And quilts hanging on the wall. We were so happy to 'move in'. The space was really pretty small. It was chopped into small rooms but we made do. I loved the long hall where we could hang quilts. And we had space for our beautiful table.

But the actual sewing room was a little small. We had to limit our numbers. We used this space the first six months. And then, the first of the year came and the adjacent space next door become open. Praise God we were able to expand!

We actually could get 24 sewing machines in this room. (We didn't own 24 but if we needed to we could!)

The space was so big we had two large counters. And we could get a bunch of people in the room. This photo shows a Service Project night with a The Met Church. Our girls got to play the role of teacher. They loved it.

This space was so much bigger and nicer. And since we kept the original space we had room for a devotional area. And room for the beautiful table where we spent many evenings laughing, eating and sharing.

Each evening we shared a snack supper and a devotional presented by a volunteer or a guest.

And our next sewing room . . .
The sewing room in the barn building.

Lots of smiles. Lots of quilts. Lots of memories . . .

And then we moved to . . .

. . . Richland Hills was a fun space. We continued to have Community Service girls (teen court), the girls halfway house. And, we began having girls from 'Kimbo' the juvenile jail on Saturdays.

Our Saturdays were some of our best times. Although short! It was a challenge teaching the girls to use a machine and make a pillow case in a span of 3 hours. But, many pillowcases were completed and many lives touched.

In 2010 we went mobile . . .

In the spring our sewing room was located at First Baptist Keller.

I hope you've enjoyed this little journey. We have lots more photo's to share. We hope you'll visit again often!

As we look forward to 2012 many plans are underway for sewing projects! To stay informed please sign up to receive our email posts!

Our virtual tour will continue through next Saturday! Lot's more photo's and stories to share!

Running or Not your car is valuable to us . . .

Did you know Auto Mission is still accepting car donations?

Running or not your car is valuable to us.

The following is the story of van that was donated a few years ago. . .


It all started one quiet afternoon in February 2007. It was still early in the day before school was out and the kids started coming for community service. It was back a few years ago when we were still in 'barn building' when we received a phone call from a sweet lady. She was almost embarrassed to offer her vehicle and said "I was just wondering it is really old but we thought you might could use." Terry listened as she continued her story. "We've just been praying that it would keep running." Her husband had recently passed away and they had prayed for a long time that the vehicle would last. . And it was old! Here's a photo . . .





Yes it has a few years on it. The paint job is faded. The families prayers had been answered because it was still running. But it did need a new engine. The family wasn't sure if they should call to see if we would want the van because of it's age and it's shape. But, we assured her that God had a plan for it. We knew that there had to be someone somewhere that needed this van.


Because there was something very special about this van.





We knew when we were asked if we would take it as a donation that there must be a family somewhere that was praying for a wheel chair van.

As we looked it over we say more than faded paint. We say worn seats. Some worn completely through where you could see the floor underneath. We saw dirty stained carpets from years of wear.

But we also saw fairly decent tires. A current inspection sticker and license. And we saw a working wheel chair lift.

And we thought about how long it would take to get it ready for it's next owner.

Stay tuned for part two of the van story. We will publish more photo's and the rest of the story on Sunday.

Happy Birthday Auto Mission

We are doing a lot of celebrating around here with a big 'Ol' S on that cake!


The last few months celebrated milestones for the Ministries of Auto Mission that translate into Praises for the youth that have been reached. And souls that have been saved!


The Sunday morning chapel services began with 2 youth the first week. The second week 8 were present. The attendance has grown steadly since there.

Last February we had 18-20. And now each week we have 28 to over 30. God is moving in the lives of these young people. It is a pleasure for us to help them find real purpose for their lives. And be able to participate in church even though they are not at home . . .

Celebrating ministries birthdays each year has brought many bittersweet memories. But many more Praises . . . This year Auto Mission will celebrate it's 8th birthday!

To celebrate these amazing milestones we will be spending the next few days (leading up to another huge milestone that a certain person doesn't care to mention . . . except it includes cake so we'll just not talk about age.)

To celebreate this we are inviting you to a virtual tour. I know that you'll be delighted to see some old photo's and maybe remember a few faces. We'll probably share some bittersweet memories together. But, in the end we will all celebrate our Blessings and look forward to many more years of ministries.
