The Fellowship Southwest Board of Directors held their semi-annual meeting May 4-5 in Dallas. We began our time together at the Dallas National Prayer Luncheon organized by Thanks-Giving Foundation. Andy Stoker, one of our board members, is the chief engagement officer at the Thanks-Giving Foundation, and he invited us to attend. Following the luncheon, we visited with Rev. Danielle Ayers at Friendship-West Baptist Church. She gave the board a tour of their amazing facilities, and then we had time to talk with her about her work as the minister of justice and how we can partner together.

The next morning, we reconvened at Thanks-Giving Square for the business of our meeting. Andy Stoker showed us around the Square and told us the beautiful history of this respite in the middle of downtown Dallas.

We shared reports about the ongoing work of Fellowship Southwest and dreamed about the future together. As our more official business happens in the fall meeting, this one was all about programs and planning. The staff is overwhelmed with gratitude for the support and energy of our board. We are particularly thankful for our chair, Michael Mills, and our secretary, Andy Stoker. To see who serves on our board, click here.
