The Blanco Church of Christ is the sponsoring congregation for Willie Gley. Willie is a U.S. trained preacher/evangelist in the Ghana/Togo region in Africa. He has helped start many churches in the region as well as conducted numerous campaigns focused on spreading the Word. One of his ultimate goals is to establish a self-supporting preaching school in the city of Accra, Ghana, Africa. Willie has started the Mars Hill Academy, a fledgling Christian school that will eventually grow to include primary through secondary education with an emphasis on Christian values.

The Blanco church also donates pantry items to this south Texas home for orphans and/or families in need. We do periodic fund raising as well. We also contribute handsomely to the Fosters Children Home, another home for displaced kids.

We donate money to assist the efforts of a group of Christians that travel to Romania periodically. These funds are used to help the local congregations, to purchase groceries for the very needy, to assist a local orphanage, and to buy medical supplies.

The congregation has also been donating to the following Mission outreach programs:

• Bert Campbell/Globe Arizona Church
• Sam's place
• World Bible School
• World Christian Broadcasting
• Eastern European Mission Work (providing bibles to citizens of the former Soviet bloc countries)
