The Prison Ministry Angel Tree Program
The Prison Ministry Angel Tree is a unique program to share Christ's love by helping
to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the families with a loved one in
prison. Angel Tree works by connecting parents in prison with their children through
the delivery of Christmas gifts.
We will start distributing the names of Angel Tree children on Sunday, November 3,
2013. Each child ranging from ages 1 to 17 years will receive two gifts - a clothing gift
and a fun gift (toy, basketball, books, etc). When the gifts are delivered to the families,
a Gospel presentation is made. Participating in Angel Tree is a powerful way for Brookland Baptist Church to
lovingly share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you have any questions or you would like to volunteer to assist in Angel Tree, please contact Fred or Linda Stroy
at 803-237-3407 or 803-447-6080.
NOVEMBER IS HOMELESSNESS AND HUNGER AWARENESS MONTH
The Brookland Baptist Homeless Outreach Program
Reaching Out to Serve the Community
According to the 2013 Homeless Point-In-Time (PIT) Count Survey Results, there are 6,035 homeless people
living in South Carolina at the end of January 2013. This marked a 28.3% increase compared to the last count in
2011.
Between 2011 and 2013, the total number of homeless persons in the state increased by 1,331 from a
previous total of 4,701. The most dramatic increase was among those who were found to be unsheltered. The
2013 PIT identified 3,116 people living on the streets or in a place not suitable for human habitation such as
cars, encampments or woods. This is a 72% increase in the number counted in 2011 (1,813).
The count found 2,919 people in shelters such as emergency shelters, temporary winter shelters and
domestic violence shelters as well as transitional housing units. The state total of sheltered people did not
change significantly between 2011 and 2013 indicating that the overall capacity to temporarily house people in
the state has not changed though there were increases or losses of capacity in some local communities.
You can make a difference! - The winter months are coming and the Homeless Outreach Program is
seeking donations for new or clean, very-gently worn T-Shirts for persons being served by the
Program. All sizes are needed; small, medium, large, ex-large, & double extra-large. There is also a need for
men’s pants of all sizes – but especially small to average sizes -- 30, 32, 34, 36, & 38.
Donations can be dropped off at the Clothing Bank during the month of November and December. For
additional information, please contact the Foundation office @ (803) 744-7914 or Deloris Cotton at (803) 8658275 or [email protected].
Thank you for your help - The Homeless Outreach Program

Congratulations Kevin!
Congratulations to Kevin Morgan on the upcoming publication of his sixth
book. Dialoguing The Bible is based on the premise that to fully
understand the history of how the Bible came to be, one must grasp the
sentiments behind its development.
Knowing who, what, where and how as they relate to the Bible is only part
of the story because this sacred book is more than the sum total of its
historical facts. The goal of Kevin’s latest publication is to not only help
the reader comprehend how the Bible evolved into the divine best-selling
book that we recognize today, but also to FEEL the emotions that drove this
process.
The expected publication date of Dialoguing The Bible is late November
2013.

Financial Empowerment Sunday (FES) - November 2013
On the third Sunday in November, we will feature Ms. Wendy Wendasia Johnson and
her book, No Weapons Shall Prosper. This book is about a little girl who faced
negative events that caused her to develop a negative mindset. Daily she tried to
escape her mind-set, but the negative events wouldn’t allow her.
Although she didn’t understand why things were happening to her; her pain drew her
closer to God and helped her to develop a sense of good character. She would often
ask God, “Why me Lord?” She had to fight for her mind because Satan didn’t want
her to use her creativity; he knew her destiny.
Financial Empowerment Sunday (FES) is a monthly event that will feature businesses owned by members of
Brookland Baptist. FES is part of an ongoing effort to promote African-American economic empowerment
and all Brookland worship service attendees are strongly encouraged to financially support these featured
businesses.
Please stop by Ms. Johnson’s table in the narthex after worship service on November 17th.
***************************************************************
