Letter From The Publisher

Greetings to the Christian community! We are thrilled to share our April-May issue, especially with Easter approaching. What better time for family-friendly news with an eternal purpose! Our focus is on events that celebrate the Easter holidays, including a Faith West production, The Miracle. If you have the opportunity, take your family… it is a profound reenactment of Jesus’ sacrifice for us all. This is also a great time to visit a church on Easter, especially if you are new to the area. Pastor Oliver Lee of Next Level Ministries invites families to his Easter service at Stephens Elementary on April 20th at 10:30. Read his amazing testimony in our Pastor Profile. 

As we celebrate the women in our lives this coming May, Katy Christian Magazine extends a “Happy Mother’s Day” greeting to all moms, grandmothers and special role models who impact our families. Consider treating Mom to a Mother’s Day outing at one or all of the Christian films now on the big screen. You’ll find that we’ve covered several in this edition. 

This issue we debut our “Critters in Katy” column, which is filled with helpful information (especially if you have lost a pet). We also feature Kingdom Racing, an INDYCAR organization that exists to blend faith with fast cars. Kingdom Racing witnesses to fans on the track and beyond. What a wonderful endeavor, especially their Miles of Smiles outreach to disadvantaged and struggling fans.  

You’ll also find our business and student profiles, Dear Doctor column, and much more. In fact, our Christian camp directory is now available. It’s a great time to plan ahead for summer — which doesn’t have to be boring! As we wrap up a long school year, our kids can look forward to many fun outings and entertainment — from the great outdoors to swimming to historical adventures. Check out what these wholesome camps have to offer!

Joseph Menslage

As the President and Publisher of Katy and Fort Bend Christian Magazines, Joe Menslage is committed to covering social and political news from a Christian worldview. He founded Katy Christian Magazine in 2005, which swept the greater Houston and Katy areas like a storm. That’s when Joe realized the urgent need for publications willing to give voices to the voiceless, without political correctness or censorship. Joe Menslage founded sister-publication Fort Bend Christian Magazine in 2014. Prior to creating Katy Christian Magazine, Joe Menslage led a colorful life. He was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, spent a great deal of his childhood in Colorado, and lived in a couple of other states before he moved to Houston in 1981. Joe was God-gifted with an entrepreneurial mind, and self-started other business ventures before he found his calling. In Joe’s words, our innate talents are given by the Lord, and are meant to be used to serve the Lord. Aside from being a President and Publisher, Joe Menslage is also the co-founder of Katy Christian Chamber of Commerce, where Christians can network, build business connections, listen to passionate speakers, and enjoy monthly breakfasts and lunches. Joe Menslage also hosts a weekly political satire YouTube channel. Joe Menslage has four children. Outside of work, he enjoys hiking, watching zombie movies and K dramas, ax-throwing and Krav Maga.
