NATIONS HOUSTON

From its foundation, Antioch Houston has felt the call to make disciples of all nations. We soon realized that the nations are in our own backyard!  One out of four people in Houston were born outside of the United States. We commissioned the Nations Houston team to make disciples of all nations in the Gulfton area of Houston, TX, as well as mobilize and equip our church body to minister to the unreached people of our city.  

Nations Houston is funded by donations. Please pray and consider supporting the ministry by giving a one-time donation. We are thankful for the love and support.

  • Stories from the mission field

    MR N. - Our team met an Afghan man named Mr, N. He was hungry to learn about God so we started reading the bible with him .After a couple of months He had a dream of a man in white. The man said, “You are a good follower. It's time for you to get baptized.” Mr. N realized that the man in his dream was Jesus and professed faith in Him. Soon Mr.N obeyed Jesus and got baptized. Recently Mr.N had a second dream in which Jesus said, “You need to read my word.” Mr.N continues to experience a living and active God through His word and presence. Praise Jesus for Mr.N faith and new life in Christ.
