Nominees
Cricket Cain – Candidate for At-Large Position
Hello there =) My name is Cricket Cain, I attended Southeast Texas Tres Dias #11 (SETTD #11) in March 2011, where I sat at the table of Rachel. I worship and serve at Baytown Second in Baytown, Texas and became a member almost a year ago here. Before moving to Baytown in 2024, I worshipped and served at Bay Area church for 13 years. I served in the Kid’s ministry along with my son, Miguel Munoz, teaching 3–6-year-old for many years. We also served VBS together with the 3-year-old for crafts for 5 years and loved every moment of it. (This was on my bucket list – no lie – YES to teach VBS!) I also served in the Living Water Biblical Counseling Ministry for over 5 years, Woman’s Ministry and several life groups during that time. Now that I am at a new church, I am part of 2 life groups, serve in the Kid’s Ministry and participate in Woman’s ministry events whenever they happen.
Since attending my Tres Dias weekend in 2011 I have been blessed to serve in 4 separate communities including Space City. I worked several weekends in Southeast Texas, served Bravos Valley Tres Dias weekend number one (BVTD #1), my very first weekend as a Pescador as Head Kitchen. This weekend still holds the #1 spot in my favorite all time weekends. Of course, if you know me, there is a story there – so ask me sometime! Basically maybe 65 team members and only 4 working the kitchen including me. IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING FOR ALL – team and candidates. I started Grace Gulf Coast Tres Dias and worked many weekends and was OHC on GGCTD #6. I officially retired (so I thought) after this weekend from serving as my life was supposed to be very different then it currently is now – Thank God; He had a plan and it was not my plan – image that! I took 5 years off to spend more time with my son, Miguel, during Jr High and High School since I was pretty much a single mom.
The Fall of 2022 is when life completely changed, and God whispered to call the rector of GGCTD and SCTD and give them the “YES” for serving on each of their weekends. I had been away for 5 years, but rectors continued to call and Miguel had to come first, but now I was free to serve. The Lord whispered, both weekends because you are not doing anything else and you need your sisters, your community and fellowship. He was right, I needed all their love, support, wisdom, laughter and their company.
To this date I have served around 24 weekends and on those weekends, I have served in every position except Chapel and Table. I have a world of knowledge because of this, and it is time to stand and use my voice for the community. I have never wanted to serve on the board, ask anyone who knows me, BUT GOD. When He tells me to do something, I no longer ask, I just go and do without question. These past 3-4 years my relationship with the Lord has become pure Joy in my live. I have been his Servant for most of my life and love to witness just how He can change anyone’s life if they allow it. I would be a good fit for this position because I can communicate with anyone, most people know who I am and I represent the people in the community and can be their voice. The experience that I have working in 4 different communities and most positions also allows me to be a sounding board and great representative moving forward and growing this community.
In my free time, I love to serve anyone and everyone. I love BIG and I love to laugh. I love to read; I love crafts, cooking and pray one day to have my own T-shirt line of Gospel Wear called “Armor & Grace”. I love to talk about Jesus to anyone who will listen and love sharing what he has done in my life with anyone who wants to hear it. My light shines brightly for Him because of Him.
Thank you for your consideration for one of the At-Large Positions for Space City Tres Dias. If you have any questions, just call me or send me an email.

Bill D. Cook - Candidate for At-Large Member Board Position
I am a lifelong resident of Manvel, Texas and have been in fellowship with the Believers at Manvel Bible Chapel, including my mother, Hallie Booth, since my teens. Over the years I have served in various capacities involved in Sunday School, Teenage and Young Adult Groups, Outreach Ministry, Bible Study and as Treasurer. I have also served at Sandy Creek Bible Camp as Summer Camp Program Director, Counselor and Cabin Leader for Youth Camps and Young Adult Camps and Retreats. I have two adult daughters, Leslie and Elizabeth, both having careers in Education.
I attended GGCTD #11, where I sat at the Table of Luke. I served as a Prayer CHA on GGCTD #12 and was to serve as a Palanca CHA on #13, when COVID interrupted those plans. When plans were restarted, I had a conflict for the weekend and was unable to serve. The Lord allowed me to Serve as Dining CHA on SCTD #3, and in various roles on SCTD #4 thru #12, including Prayer, Chapel, Dorm, Mobile, Rollista and Inside Head CHA. Most recently, I have served the community as Treasurer CHA (2023-2025), Finance / Scholarship Committee (2023-2026) and At-Large Member (2025-2026). I have also served in the SET Pescadore community and in the Central Texas Camino de Christo community.
For over 25 years, I have Ministered to and Mentored Juveniles and Adults in our County Juvenile Detention Center, Boot Camp, Texas Youth Commission, County Jails and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. This has been my passion and I’m thankful the Lord has allowed me to be involved in so many lives. To support that ministry, I have served the business world in accounting, auditing and finance positions in several companies. Currently, I am employed with a small refining company that I have been associated with since the early 1980’s.
Thank you for considering me for the opportunity to continue to serve the SCTD Community again as an At Large Board Member. I am willing to serve our community in any way possible. I am committed to being a part of this great community and ministry. Please let me know if I can answer any questions or assist in any way.

Christy Horner – Candidate for At-Large Member
Howdy! I attended CTTD #16 in the fall of 2017, and from that moment on, Tres Dias has been an important part of my walk and my heart.
I’ve been blessed to serve across multiple communities—including Central Texas, Alamo, and Space City—as each one grew and found its footing. From helping support the launch of the Alamo community to serving as Head Dining Cha on Space City Tres Dias #1, it’s been a joy to be part of what God is building through this ministry.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to serve in many roles—chapel, dining, dorm, kitchen, prayer, rollista, silent, table, and palanca—and have been honored to serve as Head Cha for chapel, dining, and prayer. Each weekend continues to remind me that every role matters and every act of service makes a difference.
I’ve been part of the Delivered Daughters Reunion Group since my weekend, and these women are my faithful prayer warriors and a constant source of encouragement.
Outside of Tres Dias, I’ve been a member of New Hope Church in Alvin, Texas for 23 years, where I serve as a prayer partner. I’m a former homeschool mom to three amazing grown kids and “CiCi” to two precious granddaughters who keep my heart full.
I live in Dickinson, Texas and work in Houston with the Holt CAT family. When I’m not working or serving, you’ll likely find me spending time with family and friends, out fishing with my church Life Group, or listening to a good audiobook. And in the fall, I’m always cheering on the Aggies and the Texans!
Tres Dias has given me so much, and I would be honored to continue serving this community as Member at Large.
I have a heart for this community and a passion for serving wherever God calls me. I would truly appreciate your vote for Member at Large and the opportunity to continue pouring into this incredible ministry. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to connect or have any questions.
Blessings,

Hello! My name is Paige Patterson and I worship and serve at Community Transformation Church – Houston. I attended Space City Tres Dias #8 where I sat at the Table of Ruth. I served as a Kitchen Cha on Weekend #9, the Study Rollista on Weekend #10, a Music Cha on Weekend #11 and a Dorm Cha on Weekend #12. My plan is to continue serving on the weekends to give back to this community.
For over 30 years my husband and I hosted home fellowships and bible studies as well as serving in many leadership positions in the churches we attended. My passion is learning God’s Word and then teaching His Word and Grace to others. We traveled around the world with Papa’s House International preaching and teaching the Gospel, holding revivals, pastor conferences, as well as women and youth conferences. We have seen the Holy Spirit move in signs and wonders through this ministry and I see His presence moving in the Tres Dias weekends. What exciting times!
This Tres Dias Community has surrounded me with love, prayer, support and acceptance and I pray that I can in some way return this love! We are the hands and feet of Jesus and I want to find as many ways as I can to serve this community. I want to be your voice and help continue to maintain this community’s focus on God and His Grace through the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for this important position. If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to reach out!
