Though at first glance many people may feel that there is no important Christian 

history in their region, Texas does have a surprising and powerful amount of Godly 

heritage. Many times bloodshed was avoided, lives were transformed, and whole 

towns were rejuvenated solely due to the work of Jesus Christ in the early 

settlements. This is a part of Texas’ history that should never be forgotten.

Write an essay of 250 words explaining some of the Christian heritage of Texas. This 

may include information on early missionaries, or perhaps on an important individual or organization. 

How did this Christian effort help the region? 

Are effects of that effort still being felt today? Be specific when presenting your 

data. 

Give names, dates, and places, as well as the current number of churches within your 

town(Dumas, TX) according to denominations or beliefs.
