About Us

Literacy Connexus employs three strategies in providing resources and direction to churches and organizations reaching out to those with literacy needs:

Advocacy

  • Supporting students, families, and teachers in education
  • Speaking up for those with little or no voice regarding their own education–both adults and children–before the Texas legislature and other political venues
  • Encouraging literacy through all mission work to support discipleship and economic development

Books for the Border and Beyond

  • Sponsoring family reading fairs in colonias along the Texas-Mexico border
  • Gathering and distributing books for disaster-relief efforts in Texas and beyond
  • Encouraging reading to children through all church activities
  • Advising and assisting in home library initiatives throughout the state and elsewhere

Church and Community

  • Providing leader training for English as a Second Language (ESL) and other literacy ministries on church campuses
  • Providing short-term literacy classes in non-church settings
  • Sponsoring, encouraging, and supporting literacy ministry to refugees and other culturally-challenged groups
  • Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in other countries
