This ministry started in March of 2004. We asked our church members if they had any clothes in good
condition that they didn't need and wanted to donate. Wow! What an overwhelming response! Members
donated more clothes than we ever expected. Thank you! God has truly blessed this ministry of
People's Batpist Church.
Initially, to receive clothes, people were asked to complete a request form, and we then filled each
request. Since there were more clothes than requests, we decided to try something new. Now we have
found that bringing the bins of clothes to the church each Sunday after the morning service (weather
permitting) works best. By separating clothing types based on different age groups and genders, has
allowed recipients to choose clothes that suit their taste. This has also allowed us to fellowship
with each other more. Since this has been so successful, our next goal is to try and reach out to
the families of the kids that come by the Van/Bus Ministry. Every other Sunday morning, we will
follow one of the bus captains on their drop-off routes. We hope to be a blessing to unsaved family
members and friends. By giving out tracts, we will share the free gift of Heaven, along with free
clothes! Our hopes and prayers are to be able to become a part of building the church.
We would like to talk to anyone that would be interested in joining this ministry. If you are looking
to be a blessing and join one of the active ministries within People's Baptist Church, we sure could
use your help for this great cause. Please contact Bro. Brian.
In His Service,
Bro. Brian and Mrs. Robinson
