10 APPENDIX VII State Home Missions Report The Mission Board met on March 24 to view property sites and looked at a prospective building for a possible location for the Mission on Highway 19. This did not later appear to be the right place. The director and Rev. Leroy Lowery returned to Aiken, SC to look at a parcel of land on Pine Log road and a house for a Mission work and to inquire about the possibility of purchasing land for the mission. They were not willing to sell the land without their old home on that side of the road. The Mission was holding services in South Aiken High School at this time. Brother Mark informed the director about their willingness to sell across the Highway a five (5) acre plot of land for $12, an acre. The director and brother Lowery returned to see and authorize the Missionary and director to pursue the purchase of said property. The board met on the 29th of September to authorize the director to agree to the price asked. The director paid down $ to the property owners. The transaction was finalized on November 22, The following Board members Rev. Billy Vanderford, Rev. Robert Rose, Rev. Norwood Gibson, the Promotional Director of SC, Mark Barber, missionary, Rev. Richard Adams the National representative for the National Home Missions who loaned the money for the purchase of the land were present at the closing of the purchase of the property. Our State Moderator who is on the National Board helped us with some sound advice. Brother Mark and wife Karon plus little Daniel, 4; Lauren 2; and Hayley 8 months are doing well in Aiken, SC. They have a really nice home that they are buying by the grace of God. The Mission has about eight men and more women at this present time. They are averaging about in the morning service. The American Legion is a much better place to meet and worship. Besides it is much cheaper on the young mission. Brother Mark knocks on an average of 300 doors a month. It would be greatly appreciated if any of you pastors will go and visit and knock on doors. The board asks that all o fus, throughout the state of South Carolina, get behind a drive to have this land paid for, if possible, by next year or as soon as possible. Please pray to this end. What a blessing to retire this debt in We can if we pray and work together in God's will. God bless all of our foreign and national missionaries.

Gwen Hendrix, State President APPENDIX IX Children's Home Report 1994 has been a great year for us at the Childrens Home. We have made many new contacts with people who have a heart for our children and the Lord through you has blessed us with the means to provide the necessary things to give our children a good home. We have a great staff. Maura Story in the boys dorm and Linda Wilhide in the girls dorm have made the buildings into beautiful places and have established a very homey atmosphere with a warm and peaceful place in which to live. Our recreation buildings are now nice family rooms where they gather for family times. Ricky Wilhide and the staff have worked hard on the outside to compliment the rest of the improvements. 27

12 There are 21 children living here and during the year we served 16 other children who are no longer with us. Some of that 16 had lived here for up to three years. Its a blessing to see our children return to their homes and begin a new life with families that can now care for them properly. We still have two students in Free Will Baptist Bible College who need our prayers and support. We thank every one who have prayed for us and have supported us. We also thank you for the many items that you have brought that we don't have to buy and therefore have saved us thousands of dollars during the year. We have made a concentrated effort to up-grade the buildings and make this place a "God Home for Our Children".Thanks again and come to see us!
