as we celebrate the beauty of creation and see the Mas-
ter at work painting the landscape of blue skies with
billowing clouds, falling leaves of red, green, yellow and
orange upon the green and brown grasses. The cotton on
the vine or bundled in bales reminds us of our heritage
of laboring in the fields. As you read our fourth Made for
Missions newsletter, sit back and take in the sites and
sounds as Mission Directors and Volunteers are prepar-
ing for celebrations and feastings in
honor of our Savior!

Praise the Lord." Psalm 150:6

A Mission Fair was held at the October SC4
meeting to give members an opportunity
to connect with areas of volunteer need in
the Midlands.
Some of the 20 organizations represented
weie The 0aks Chiis Nyeis Chiluiens
Place, Oliver Gospel Mission, Glen Forest
School & Hannah House.
It is our hope that this becomes an ever
growing annual event that exposes poten-
tial volunteers to the ever increasing need
of time, talent and resources for those in
need in the Midlands.

THE WOMEN OF THE WELL TAKE TO THE ROAD

O
n Tuesday October 18 the Wagener Women`s Well sponsored a harvest trip to the Asheville Farmer`s Market.
Twelve women and one child (Elijah) ventured out on a foggy, rainy morning. We arrived in time for an early
lunch at the Moose CaIe then we enjoyed shopping at the Farmer`s Market. Our highlight oI the trip was shopping at Lyda
Farms to purchase apples. We loaded the vehicles with bags and bags of apples. What a great time for fun and fellowship!

The South Carolina Christian Chamber of Commerce sponsored an exhibition at Hope Plaza in Columbia on October 19.
Several organizations set up to exhibit and to share their ministry with the public. Among the exhibits from Christ Cen-
tral: Wagener Women`s Well, The Nehemiah Project, The Chris Myers Children`s Place, Hannah House, SC Homeless
Feeding and Medical Mission, Samaritan`s Well and The Oaks.
Then on Saturday, October 22, we exhibited and sold our crafts at the Harvest Festival in Ridge Springs. There we dem-
onstrated the art of quilting. We met many people and shared our ministry.

The Women`s Well has two more events scheduled in November and December. On Tuesday, November 22, we will host
a Thanksgiving Dinner for the staff, students and friends of Christ Central. The dinner will be held at Christ Central Insti-
tute`s new building. We are looking Iorward to cooking our Iavorite dishes Ior their pleasure.
On Friday night on December 2, Irom 6:00 until 8:00 we will be participating with the Town oI Wagener`s Open House.
You can come by and check us out. There will be light refreshments and many friendly faces to answer any questions
about the Well. Then on aIter the Christmas Parade, we will sponsor our annual 'Sidewalk Sale. We have toys, baby
items, antiques, painting, clothes and other miscellaneous items along with our crafts. Everything must go!

May you have a blessed Thanksgiving Day. Remember to give thanks for all those serving in our military and for their
sacrifice for us.
Until next month, Be Blessed.

ody Williams moved from Michigan to South Caro-
lina at the age of sixteen. While at Airport High
School this past April, Cody met Chad Bech-
tel through the Nehemiah Project. So excited after hearing
of Chad's Internships Program for Christ Central Missions,
Cody joined the group of summer interns and extended his
stay when making the decision to join the year long intern
program.
Cody enjoys chess, learning to play the guitar and has de-
veloped a great passion and love toward the homeless and
needy. October 30, Cody organized a trip to serve food for
the homeless in Finley Park Columbia, SC.

MADE FOR MISSIONS
Several mornings a week, just before dawn, the phone rings and a woman calling is seeking prayer. Mary
(not her real name) has walked out of the kingdom of darkness (sin) and into saving faith. Today she is a
light of hope in her neighborhood and among her "old friends who now are drawn to her in their times of
trouble and affliction.

Without judgment, she hands out hope in Christ to all who are willing to hear. She has learned, and shares,
that prayer recharged her spiritual battery when the problems of life had drained all hope.

By twelve Mary was an alcoholic. Her life was filled with depression and broken relationships. But finding
and listening to God has transformed her from a hopeless and miserable person to a woman who now
praises God and hungers for better understanding of His love for her.

Mary, her husband and her mother are all in poor health due to the years of abusing their bodies. But
Marys transformed life is still a witness to her family and friends. Her words of encouragement and hope
are spoken to each one that God puts on her path; in the doctors waiting room and the emergency room of
the hospital, in line at the market. Where ever she feels His call to share.

Romans 12: 1b-2 "Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Director Judy Floyd (803)640-1708

Spirit of Giving

God clearly has His hand on Christ Central Minis-
tries and 89.7 WMHK as we partner through the
'Spirit oI Giving and venture to share His love
with our neighbors throughout the midlands of
South Carolina during this special time of year. Al-
though many families are experiencing difficult
times, the God we serve is much greater.

In only four weeks, He has raised up hundreds of
our neighbors as volunteers and they have agreed to
give gifts, time and food. With the adoption of 106 families representing close to 400 people, we do
give thanks; however, we are not quite at our half way goal of 240 families!

II you would like to serve as a volunteer in Columbia, adopt a Iamily, or come and celebrate at 'The
Party which will culminate all God`s blessings on December 10, 2011, please contact Scooter Scott at
803-231-8394. We will have live entertainment, 89.7 WMHK will fill the air with Christmas music,
great food, drinks and fellowship all FREE!

Director Scooter Scott (803) 231-8394
DONATIONS FROM THE HEART
"Here mom, this is for the ministry!" It was as simple as that. My youngest son walked into the kitchen, handed
me forty dollars of his hard-earned money, and turned and walked out. I wish I could tell you that I immediately
used this as a "teachable moment" and relayed, from memory, a bible verse to him about giving; however, all I
could muster was a "thanks". For you see, he was teaching me something in that moment. When the Lord places
on your heart to give, you simply obey. The Holy Spirit sometimes calls you to act immediately; before the world
has had a chance to tell you that you're not making a wise choice with your time or your money. May we all have
the simple obedience of a child!
UPCOMING WAYS TO GIVE:
We are partnering with WHMK 89.7 in the "Spirit of Giving" campaign to have families adopted for Christmas. Please go
to their website to adopt a needy family. You and your family can also sign up to volunteer during several shifts during
the week of November 28-December 3. Please email Melanie Frink at melaniefrink@hotmail.com for more information
about volunteering.
Winter is looming around the corner and our children are in need of coats. Please clean out those closets and drop any
new or gently used coats by my house at 9 Shoreline Drive in Northeast Columbia or bring them to our new apartment (J3)
in Gonzales Gardens during tutoring hours on Tuesday and Thursday.
Don't forget to check to check out our website at www.ProsperityProjectSC.org to see the latest "happenings"!
Blessings to you all,
Director Michelle James (803)318-2497
