A Church of Christ * A Church for Christ * A Church like Christ
Our Missionaries
Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras
We transform the culture of Western Honduras by training and equipping local Christian leaders to establish congregations. Through these independent congregations, individuals encounter physical, mental, and spiritual transformation, and as individual lives change, communities around them change. We need your help as we build bridges with Western Honduran communities to help us reach our goal of launching 1010 leadership teams.
Be sure and look for our neon lighted "Open" sign...it's the only sign we have.

Isaiah 61:1-3
"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."

About Our Church
A church of Christ...a church for Christ...and a church like Christ
Come As You Are
The "Open" Church was started based on a need for a place to come and rest so that they could heal. Are you tired? Are you broken by your own sins or the sins of someone else? Do you need a place to rest? Do you wish you could have a brand new life? The "Open" is a "come as you are church". No matter what you've done, no matter where you've been, you are welcome here.
Rex Boyles
Rex was raised on a farm near Sudan, Texas. His mother and father raised four boys on that farm. They took them to church every time the doors were open … sent them to school … taught them to work in the fields … let them play football, basketball, and baseball … loved them with a tough and tender kind of love.
​
Rex became a Christian in the church of Christ in Sudan. It was there that his Bible class teachers reinforced what his mother and father were teaching him at home. It was there that he made the decision to obey Jesus.
​
When Rex went to college at Abilene Christian and Lubbock Christian, he received teaching and saw examples that inspired him to become a teacher. He wanted to teach young people about Jesus … to help them understand that Jesus can really be their best Friend.
​
Rex received further Bible training at the Sunset School of Preaching in Lubbock, Texas. When he graduated, he served the Lord in Olton, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. When he returned to Sunset, he was given the opportunity to train young men and women to serve the Lord in mission fields all over the world, through the Adventures in Missions (AIM) program. In 10 years some 600 young adults made it their aim to teach the gospel in over 30 nations and over 20 states.
​
In the 30 years that Rex has been teaching people about Jesus, God has allowed him to preach in 12 foreign countries and some 30 states. Whether it is across the street or around the world, Rex teaches about a “real” Jesus, who offers “good news for the poor”, “grace for the sinner”, and “comfort for the broken and bruised”.
​
Rex has a bachelor’s degree in Social Work through Lubbock Christian University and is a Licensed Social Worker. He recently completed his Masters work in Professional Counseling through Regions University in Montgomery, Alabama.
​
Rex is blessed with a loving family, faithful friends and now an incredible ministry.
