Operation Encouragement
I work in a secure Tactical Operations Center (TOC) and there were approximately 7 boxes delivered here
today. I can't speak for the rest of the company but I bet there are care packages from Brookwood Baptist
Church all over Taji by now. Thank ya'll so much for thinking about us. Thank you and God bless.

Fall Carnival: This Weekend
Thank you to everyone who signed up to help with this year's Fall Carnival taking place this Saturday, October 25,
2:30pm-5:30pm. You are helping Brookwood share God's love with the families in the surrounding community. This
event always draws hundreds of people that may never have been to Brookwood before. This is an opportunity to live
out our mission statement - to guide everyone we meet to a life centered in Christ.
It's not too late to help. We are still in need of baked goods for the Cookie Walk and candy. You can drop off
donations at the Information Center all day Friday and early Saturday.

Church Under The Bridge
Church Under The Bridge is a new outreach event specifically designed for the homeless population in Shreveport.
It is a monthly outdoor church service that will provide a meal, fellowship, resources, and relationships for the
homeless that attend. It is a church wide opportunity for all ages.
Brookwood is teaming with The Hub to put on this event. As a volunteer, you will help set up the event, prepare the
meal, serve the meal, pass out resources, and attend the church service with those who come. It is going to be an
amazingly unique way to minister to the homeless here in Shreveport and show them the love of Christ. Through these
simple actions, we believe that the gospel will be spread and lives changed.
Once a month can change a person's eternity. And we are excited for you to be a part on Saturday, November 1,
11:00am-2:00pm. Email The Hub to sign up or for more information.

Ethiopia Report
We had the privilege of getting to know 5 missionary families and 4 journey men while in Ethiopia.
We were able to see how they were ministering to the people of Ethiopia and hear their plans for the
future. Our missionaries there have to “fly under the radar” and basically do humanitarian aid types
of ministries in order to win a hearing with individuals and to get into homes to share the gospel.
They are doing agricultural projects with goats, developing relationships through sports, working with
medical personnel, teaching English and other classes at the Educational Resource Center, and seeking
out other avenues of touching people’s lives so that they can share the message of Jesus Christ with
them.
