    Students Help Homeless Community

    Last Wednesday our student ministry partnered with The Hub to serve and love on many in Shreveport’s homeless community. We were joined by Stephanie Turner’s LifeGroup as we served 240 hot dogs and gave several bags of clothes and non-perishable food items. We quickly learned that there is always a great need for T-shirts(all sizes), pants(all sizes) and non-perishable food items(with pop-tops). In all we ministered to about 70 people.

    I have also discovered another item that many homeless need. During our February trip to the downtown area with The Hub, I met a man named Charlie who was in need of a pair of shoes. Last week I was given the opportunity to give Charlie a brand new pair of shoes that he desperately needed and in the process received two additional shoe orders from Louis and Andy.



    Paint Your Heart Out Shreveport

    Make a difference in our community through the Paint Your Heart Out event on Saturday, May 16. This event is designed to provide painting and to make minor exterior repairs to the homes of low-income elderly, and/or disabled citizens within the city limits of Shreveport. If you would like to participate with a group from Brookwood contact Nancy Shelton at 218-3486 for more information.


    Mexico Mission Trip Donation Needs

    Brookwood works with Dan Hall and the Mexican Indian Training Center to provide medical teams to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the Mexican people. We have 21 volunteer missionaries going to minister in Mexico June 27-July 4, 2009. We are collecting toothbrushes, toothpaste (travel size), small stuffed dolls, sunglasses, baseball caps and toys (kids meal size) for the trip. Bring your donations to the church Information Center. We are also taking monetary donations to help pay for eye glasses, Spanish tracts, Spanish Bibles, and medicines.
