	H.R. No. 102



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Mission Arlington is marking 35 years of service to
	the community in 2021; and
	WHEREAS, Founded in 1986 under the auspices of First Baptist
	Church Arlington, Mission Arlington has been led since its
	inception by director Tillie Burgin; she brought to her role a
	decade of experience performing missionary work with her family in
	South Korea, which sparked her vision of faith-based service in her
	own hometown; and
	WHEREAS, Mission Arlington launched a home Bible study group
	almost immediately after its inception; through the years, it came
	to sponsor Bible studies for thousands of people in some 360
	locations; and
	WHEREAS, Expanding its outreach, Mission Arlington looked
	for ways to help members of the community who lacked daily
	necessities; Mission Metroplex was formed in 1990, bringing the
	participation of other churches; today, under the umbrella of
	Mission Metroplex, Mission Arlington continues to provide those in
	need with food, clothing, furniture, and other household items, as
	well as emergency financial assistance; the organization also
	supports two health clinics and a counseling center; its many
	initiatives include home repairs, school supply donations, and such
	holiday perennials as Thanksgiving meal delivery and a Christmas
	store, where families can shop for free gifts for their children;
	and
	WHEREAS, Over the past 35 years, Mission Arlington has set an
	inspiring example of faith in action, making a positive difference
	in the lives of countless Texans; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Mission
	Arlington on its 35th anniversary and extend to all those
	associated with the organization sincere best wishes for the
	future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
