Peace Initiatives
The Center provides an umbrella of concern through its Peace Initiatives. We partner with churches, community service groups, and individuals to provide assistance, meet needs, and offer hope to the whole person.
Healthy Children: The Center provides instruction in proper nutrition and dental hygiene and gives free dental kits to children each year. The "Smiles" event is held in August of each year at the Center. Thanks to Warren Dentistry of Fort Worth for providing instruction and dental kits.
Hunger--A Place at Mary's Table: The Center provides classes that help women learn how to prepare healthy meals for their families and encourages the women to go and do likewise for others who have needs. Friends of the Center provide a week's supply of groceries and recipe books to the women who attend. (See picture to the right).

Global Partnership: Our partnership with the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary provides us with opportunities to share Christ's peace, justice, and love in several key areas: Education through teaching at the seminary and leading women's conferences; Agriculture through consulting with Nigerian Baptists about sustainable farming and increased production; and Community ministry with children, hospital care, and churches.
