The Texas Baptists Center for Ministerial Health welcomed David Foster as the new director of the Millennial/Gen Z Network.

“We’re doing this to remind pastors how much their ministry matters and how important having fellowships, friendships, accountability and encouragement is. Ministry isn’t easy, but it’s not meant to be done alone; it’s meant to be done in community. And that’s what we want to be,” David Miranda, former director of Millennial/Gen Z Ministers Network, said at the Millennial/Gen Z Ministers Network (The Pastor’s Common) Rally.

“So no matter how old you are, you haven’t arrived and no matter how young you are, there’s something I can learn from you,” said Curley. “I think that’s by God’s design that we can learn from one another, no matter how young or old we might be.”

Executive director Julio Guarneri outlined a rousing vision for the convention’s future during his Monday evening address at the May meeting of the Texas Baptists Executive Board. 

Julio Guarneri began his time of service as executive director of Texas Baptists with an all-staff luncheon hosted by the First Baptist Church in Garland, TX, on Thursday, Nov. 30.

“Pastoring is not easy, and it’s even more difficult when it’s done alone. So, we want to improve the pastoral experience through connectivity and resourcing and providing a friend to them.”

The rally was a time of fellowship and worship for Millenial and Generation Z pastors and ministers and was held at a coffee shop in downtown Waco.

"He wants [everyone] to understand that His Kingdom already flourishes for all people,”

“It is an honor to work with such individuals and we look forward to what the Lord is going to do through them,”

“We have to think, engage our minds, pray, seek the Lord and at the end of the day based upon what we know about God and his values, move forward”
