Do YOU know people who need Jesus? Would YOU want to be certain these people are prayed for and that they understand and embrace the love of Jesus?  Through the BLESS Austin Initiative, we envision hundreds of small groups joining together over the next several years to ensure that every person in greater Austin is prayed for by name and has the chance to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. This God-honoring vision will take every one of us, together, to get the job done! 

We'd love for you to join an ever-growing community of Christ followers who are devoted to being a Light in their neighborhoods by praying for, caring for, sharing the gospel with, and discipling their neighbors throughout the Greater Austin Area.

We will provide you with all the tools to get to know your neighbors by name so that you can begin to build relationships with them. You can even choose to receive optional reminder emails with a prayer prompt and 5 neighbors to pray for that day. Find out more about the BLESS Austin Initiative, and how you can be a light for your neighborhood!

Be A Light

God’s intention from the beginning was to bless us so that we can BLESS others. He calls us to BLESS those where we live, work, learn, and play. BLESS is an acronym for how Jesus loved people and ministered to them. He also trained his early disciples to do the same.

Here’s what the BLESS acronym means:
