HISTORY OF MISSION WACO

Our organization grew from the decision of a few families made to move into a North Waco neighborhood with high poverty and crime rates among them were Jimmy and Janet Dorrell. They began listenening to the needs of their neighbors and planting the seeds for what what would become a faith and relationship-based, holistic organization. In 1992, they officially founded Mission Waco, Mission World. John Calaway and the  faithful team of staff and volunteers continue to carry out this good work. 

Over nearly 35 years, Mission Waco has grown into a collective of programs and community development projects striving to bear witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ through expressions of love and service, including: Children & Youth, Meyer Center Social Services, Meyer Center Donation Health Clinic , My Brother’s Keeper Shelter, MPowerment, Street Sweep, Manna House, Creekside Community Village, Urban REAP, Clothesline & Voucher Clothing Center, Fair Trade Market and World Cup Cafe.
