What is the Dion Ainsworth Missions Offering?
The Dion Ainsworth Missions Offering makes it possible to maximize kingdom-minded impact throughout the Golden Triangle of Texas. Your generosity empowers the Golden Triangle Baptist Network to partner with churches like yours to meet the needs of your neighbors through service, outreach, planting, and revitalization. Whatever those needs are, through your partnership we can meet them all better when we work together. Everything given through this offering is kept 100% in Southeast Texas.
What does the offering support?
Community Ministry Efforts
Half of the Dion Ainsworth Missions Offering goes directly towards resourcing community ministry training and efforts in Southeast Texas. This includes funding and training for such ministries as for the homeless, diaper assistance, and other vital efforts to reach those often overlooked and forgotten for the kingdom.
Church Planting and Revitalization
Half of the Dion Ainsworth Missions Offering goes towards planting, replanting and revitalizing churches in Southeast Texas. This includes providing training and consults to churches in need of new strategies and plans for revitalization as well as funding new churches reaching overlooked or unreached areas in the Golden Triangle.

The History of the Dion Ainsworth Missions Offering
Our Missions Offering is named in honor of Dion Ainsworth, the former Director of Ministry Evangelism for the Golden Triangle Baptist Network.
Brother Dion passionately delivered God's love to the needy as he spent most of his life serving the homeless, abused, and neglected of Southeast Texas. For more than thirty years he worked with at-risk youth at Opportunity Camp. He served the homeless at Calvary House Emergency Homeless Shelter and family members of inmates at Shepherds Inn Gaspard Center.
Dion Ainsworth passed away on May 18, 2013 leaving behind a legacy of service to the kingdom. In his memory, the Golden Triangle Baptist Network continues to prioritize community ministry efforts and the local church to expand the kingdom through disciple making in Southeast Texas.
