Please pray for the people of Ukraine, their President and his staff, their soldiers, those still trapped in cities under siege, civilians who are fighting and the refugees fleeing to safety.

You can feel safe knowing that we plan to work within safety guidelines. We want to minimize risk and still make a way for your gatherings. Take a look at what we are doing to minimize COVID-19 risks.
OUR COMMUNITY, OUR RESPONSIBILITY
As we move into this new season, we are reminded of all of the best things… God, family, friendship. We are grateful to be a part of this community and will continue to do all we can to look out for one another.
In addition to following Texas guidelines, we will ensure the following changes:

- MASKS – Each team member will wear a mask to protect against the spread of germs.
- GLOVES – To minimize exposure, each member of our team will be wearing gloves while cleaning.
- HEALTHY STAFF – We will adhere to the state of Texas guidelines for screening staff. These measures include a daily questionnaire focused on exposure and temperature checks.
- HEALTHY GUESTS – We will adhere to the state of Texas guidelines for screening guests before your stay. These measures include a questionnaire focused on exposure and health as well as temperature checks upon arrival.
- HANDWASHING – All staff are required to wash their hands and maintain this practice routinely. Guests have access to soap and water in the bathrooms and hand sanitizer in specific locations on the property.
- CONTINUAL CLEANING – Our staff is committed to deep cleaning each building every day. In addition, we will ensure all high-touch areas such as door handles, railings, tables and chairs are sanitized daily.
**Please stay home if you feel unwell or have a fever, cough, etc.
God bless you all and may you hear from the Lord as you gather together.

Missionary Furloughs/Pastor Sabbaticals
We have had several missionary families staying at the Engage Christian Center for extended stays of several months or more. We are excited to report that they are very happy and pleased with their decision to stay at the Engage facility. After years in persecuted areas, the solitude, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Engage is exactly what they needed to recharge spiritually, mentally and physically, before travelling to their next mission field. While they are always happy to share their mission experience with others, sometimes they just need that private time together as a family. There are other mission bases in the US and Texas they could stay at, but this gives them the ability to relax, reflect and meditate on God’s next plan for them. Our 70 acres and Scripture Hiking Trails through the woods, are beautiful reminders of God’s creation at it’s best.

Engage Mission Experience
Engage Christian Center looks forward to one day offering this training program.
The Engage Mission Experience is designed to provide a three-dimensional exposure to missions: through those who have been in the mission field, through the world renowned material of “Pathlight – Toward Global Awareness”*, and through the opportunity to personally visit the mission field of Northeast Asia.
Do you have a heart for missions? Do you want to explore missions through those who have been there? Do you want to experience the most unreached part of the world to determine what God may have in store for you?

Scripture Hiking Trails
Engage has now set-up two Scripture Hiking Trails on our heavily wooded walking trails. You might be asking, “What’s a Scripture Hiking Trail anyway?” It’s a way to hike through the beautiful trails on our 107 acres of serene East Texas woods, with God as your companion. In the warm summer, the trees make a shaded canopy to cool things down a little. And while you are exercising for your physical health, you can be exercising your spirituality and becoming closer to God. The Gospel of John and the Gospel of Mark Scripture Trails have verses from those Gospels posted along the trail, along with thoughts or questions for deeper consideration. Relax and meditate with God along the trail by yourself or go with a fellow hiker or group and discuss he verses and “deeer consideration” questions or thoughts
The beginning of the Gospel of John Scripture Hiking Trail. Pray and meditate, while you get exercise, read scriptures and meditate on thought-provoking questions about the scriptures…
Our Scripture Hiking Trails are brightly marked so you don’t get lost.
