  SHOWING LOVE FROM ABOVE: RESTORING THE SOULS OF AFRICAN REFUGEES AT NEW MOUNT ROSE.  Deuteronomy 28:43 |  https://youtu.be/4gtywfr13a8?is=qTWMtTQcdRHenabN As if the trauma of life in Tanzania’s Nyarugusu Refugee Camp were not enough, the living conditions at the apartment complex on Robert’s Street in Fort Worth’s 76104 ZIP code—an area burdened by one of the region’s lowest life-expectancy rates—are heartbreaking. My heart aches for the African refugee children and families who now live there. Armed guards stand at the gate.

Nyarugusu is a large, long-standing refugee camp in the Kasulu District of Tanzania’s Kigoma Region. Established in 1996 by the United Nations High Com...

  A Compensation of Compassion From the Church to the Community to Commerce The Ministry of New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church Since 2018 James 1:27 In Fort Worth’s 76104, a church’s work can’t stop at the sanctuary door. Since 2018, New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church has been building a ministry that reaches into the daily lives of its neighbors—helping families find food, students find opportunity, and residents connect with health care, legal resources, and the people working to preserve their community’s history. The work begins with faith. It moves through partnership. And increasingly, it reaches toward economic opportunity. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr., has helped carry that vision beyond Fort Worth. In 2023, he agreed to quarterback the Texas Cohort of Faith, Community, and Small Business Leaders, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. The cohort aimed to help marginalized Texans compete in the global ec...

Our group will include African refugee children and children from South and Central American immigrant families. For many, this will be their first college football game—and their first opportunity to experience the excitement and possibilities of a college campus. This will be our second time taking church children to a UNT game, and our first time bringing our refugee and immigrant children. Since last year’s UNT game outing, two parents have enrolled at UNT Dallas. We have also partnered with UNT Dallas to offer English for the Profession classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We hope this game-day experience will inspire more children and families to dream big, work har...
