Thousands Volunteer for 30 Yr Local Ministry Benefitting Community in Arlington TX
Mission Arlington meets community needs for the past 30 years
Tillie Burgin began Mission Arlington after her missionary family returned from South Korea and a 7-year commitment to prayer. “If we could do missions in Korea, why can’t we do missions in Arlington?”
Mission Arlington’s exponential growth can only be attributed to a faithful God. He has continued to shower creative ideas to the thousands of volunteers, Tillie and the Mission Arlington team through commitment and hard work.
Through the years Mission Arlington has meet the needs of the community by providing free medical (over $2 million in medical exams and medication) and free dental services (over $1 million this year), emergency assistance, furniture, food, and more!
