The building— about 80 percent completed— includes bays to house the fleet of TBM disaster relief vehicles.
It also has a secure communications center with its own auxiliary generator to enable the disaster relief command center to stay in communication with teams on the field regardless of weather conditions.
An open house on dedication day featured booths displaying varied TBM ministries.
Bob Dixon, who led Texas Baptist Men more than three decades as executive director, recounts the “activity of God” in TBM disaster relief ministries during the dedication of the new complex at the mission equipping center in east Dallas that bears Dixon’s name.
