SWANGLISH!

New Mount Rose is A Local Church with a Global Mission

Deuteronomy 28:43




New Mount Rose is the Unstoppable Church.

When African refugee children from Tanzania—many with Congolese roots and speaking Swahili—began coming to New Mount Rose for our after-school program, Pastor Tatum saw the possibility of something special. Then students from Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico joined our English for the Professions classes. They spoke Spanish, and he knew the church had something special.




Within months, our little church in the Morningside community had become a local church with a global mission. Our neighbors speak three languages: Swahili, Spanish, and English. Pastor Tatum calls it Swanglish!

On Thursday night, everyone came together to thank God by serving our neighbors through the Community Food Bowl, after-school activities, and a church potluck. South and Central American dishes delighted everyone. Chef Nikki prepared delicious spaghetti with meat and salad. Our neighbors from Burleson brought items to give away and donated toward the purchase of our 2000 Dodge Ram van.



As everyone headed home, members of New Mount Rose Team Jesus reflected on the evening. Love was our common language, and the joy of the Lord was our strength as we served together. Before walking out the door, Members of Cooks Children’s Health Plan stopped by and left some turkeys for the New Mount Rose to give away.




Deuteronomy 28 reminds us that when we obey God and love Him and our neighbors, we are blessed in the city and in the field (verse 3). Verse 43 speaks of the foreigner among God’s people rising higher and higher. We see that spirit of welcome and possibility in the neighbors who are becoming part of our church family.



Thank You, Lord, for believers who trust Your Word and serve You with gladness. Before long, people across the city and in the field may be speaking Swanglish!

To God be the glory for all He is doing at New Mount Rose.

Tatum, Sr. “When people have nothing to live for, they begin to destroy things — their own lives, the lives of others, and even the world around them. But give people purpose, give them hope, and give them something meaningful to live for, and they will no longer be willing to die for just anything.” Pastor Kyev Tatum Tre was one of a kind. He was loving. He was caring. He was hardworking. And yes — sometimes he could get on your last nerve. But when Tre showed up, you were always glad to see him. He often brought his brother Davion with him, and from the beginn...

  AN ANGEL FROM ARKANSAS: The Authentic Voice of Nija Higgins. Proverbs 3:3-4. By Kyev Tatum, Publisher, Black Texans, Inc. Not Nija! In a world where everyone seems to be imitating someone else, Nija Higgins stands apart—genuine, radiant, and utterly authentic. She is heaven-sent at a time when authenticity is a rare gift.
