Missions and Ministry
Kidstand
In 2005, Jessie Beebe founded KidStand, a Non-Profit 501(c)3 ministry which has since ministered throughout the US at churches including The Potter's House in Dallas, Texas and festivals across the country with world renowned international evangelists such as Luis and Andrew Palau.
KidStand has also partnered with Radio Station KLTY in Dallas, TX for the past 4 years for the largest free outdoor Christian concert - Celebrate Freedom. KidStand made its first overseas mission trip in 2006 to Uganda and evangelized to over 6,000 children and their families. In 2010 alone, KidStand not only returned to the schools in Africa, but made a huge impact on the local school districts during assemblies on Drug Awareness and Bullying reaching over 42,000 during the performances! KidStand was able to share the gospel, 2,434 dedicated their lives to Christ!

Spanish Language Outreach
With a growing population of over 2 million Hispanics in the DFW area, the need for Spanish speaking ministries has become evident.
Many churches are now offering bilingual ministries and some have even created dedicated Spanish speaking church services all together. Led by Pastor Robert Rocha, Casa de Fe (a ministry of The Potters House) has quickly grown from an idea just a few years ago, to approximate attendance of 65-70 Hispanics.

The Importance Of Clergy Appreciation Day
This is the time of year that is marked by a large percentage of the holidays. From Labor Day on, we move quickly through Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, and Halloween.
Then, of course, the larger more anticipated holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas are close behind. One of the lesser known holidays which, despite its name does not get much appreciation, is Clergy Appreciation Day (2nd Sunday in October). This atypical holiday is not on most calendars, and most likely not celebrated much outside of the church.

Dallas LIFE
The largest homeless shelter in North Texas and a ministry of hope.
When you think of homeless shelters you may picture hundreds of people piled in a room. People “without purpose”, “lazy people” or those that “just don’t care”.
You certainly wouldn’t imagine structure, class instruction, responsibilities and a biblical foundation to be part of the largest homeless shelter in North Texas, but that’s exactly what you’ll find in this life-changing facility.

Single Father Home Makeover
In an age of reality TV that spans from the ridiculous to the insane, there is one show out there that is quite inspirational. The home makeover shows where some lucky individual is chosen to have their home completely remodeled inside and out. I have often thought what a message the body of Christ would send to the world if we could do things like that.

The Stewardship of Influence
Being a good manager of what God has given you is called “stewardship.” Most of us think of money when we say stewardship, but stewardship is more than that. One of the most important things that we have to manage for God is the influence that He has given us.
We are so easily influenced, aren’t we? We are influenced by the times, media, money, position. But most of all, we are influenced by people, and we influence people all day long. We can influence them for a moment or for all eternity! Who are the people that have had the greatest influence on your life? Why?
