Because of Your Generosity
January 2021
Thank you for supporting the Ministry Plan of Brookwood Church. Looking back, 2020 was a different year for us all. Romans 8:28 assures us that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Even through challenges, disappointments and loss, we can see a year filled with unprecedented generosity and creativity in caring for others, powerful prayer for our families and nation, and repeated opportunities to rely on His strength and not our own.

Connecting with Christians
With tools in hand, volunteers in the Pass It Forward ministry repaired
homes. With caring hearts, free counseling was available to those struggling emotionally.

Preparing Future Leaders
Your support allowed us to launch an Internship Program to prepare future church leaders with skills, knowledge and experience to bring the Gospel to new locations and enhance those where the Gospel is currently at work.

Caring for our Community
Volunteers partnered with the Center for Community Services to host a food drive for families and individuals in the Golden Strip area. Through the Triune Mercy Center and volunteers who feed and build relationships, the less fortunate in downtown Greenville received meals and opportunities for next steps. At Mauldin High School homeless students received backpacks filled with food to get them through the weekends.
Caring for our Special Needs Community
You helped provide respite opportunities to the special needs community
who felt the stress of cancelled activities, postponed therapies and children restricted to their homes. Because of your generosity, our friends received goodie bags at Easter, attended a water day at the waterpark, and enjoyed hayrides and games at a Fall Fest on campus.
Special Friends families enjoyed a night out at Fall Fest!
Caring for the World
Brookwood Mission Partners worldwide continued to provide healthcare,
food, and meet other basic needs of the people in their communities, while sharing the love of Christ as they worked.

Spreading Christmas Love
During the Christmas season, you were amazing! The boys at Generations
Group received spectacular gifts. Triune Mercy Center received clothing and toiletries for their guests, Greenville Foster Care received gift cards totaling over $4,000, and many started monthly sponsorships to India’s children through Set Free. You made it possible to fulfill the Christmas wishes of all the Brookwood Families who struggled financially this Christmas. During National Collection Week, volunteers collected over 15,000 Operation Christmas Child boxes that will take the message of Jesus worldwide.
Congregants dropped off OCC shoeboxes onsite and at the drop off drive-thru.
Communicating with God
Your support allowed us to launch an Online Campus to broadcast Sunday
Services, which hosted 15,027 attendees across the country last year, provide brookwoodchurch.org/kidschurchathome with online activities for kids, and student Sunday message recaps on the Brookwood Students YouTube channel.
Join us Sundays at 11 am by visiting brookwoodchurch.org/live.
Thank you for partnering with us to influence the vision and mission of Brookwood Church.
Let’s forge ahead with the love and strength of Jesus Christ, making 2021 an incredible year of ministry!
