OPEN OUR EYES • BREAK OUR HEARTS • MOVE OUR FEET

Within a 5 mile radius of Millbrook, there are 35,000 people disconnected from Life in Christ.
They are close to us but FAR FROM GOD.


One of the great privileges we have as a church is to GO with the message of Jesus Christ. I’m so thankful to be part of a church that is committed to going both across the street and across the world with the life-changing message of the Gospel to those in need of what only Jesus can provide. In 2021, our strategic Millbrook Mission plan is comprehensive in reach. First, the plan supports strategic mission partnerships where we as a church have clearly felt the call of The Lord to get involved in a greater capacity. These partnerships are both local and global in scope. Second, the plan includes supporting Millbrook families that are currently serving on the mission field. What a joy it is to support those that have been called out from right here in our own church family! Finally, the plan includes support for local outreach and mission partnerships that serve our community and spread the Gospel. Psalm 67, sometimes referred to as “The Mission Psalm” reminds us that God blesses us in order to be a blessing. The implication is clear – God pours out His blessings on churches that are most prepared to be a blessing to others by spreading the Gospel far and wide. Thank you again for your support of Millbrook on Missions. I look forward to see how God is going to continue to use Millbrook in the days ahead to be a lighthouse in Aiken and around the world!
– Pastor Stephen

TRIP OVERVIEW

Somotillo, Nicaragua: Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Because We Care Ministries helps people meet their chief need for a Savior, while also helping to meet the critical physical needs of hunger, poor substandard housing, shortage of water, lack of schools and education, lack of churches and pastor sponsorship. On our trip we will have the chance to invest in the local schools and villages. We will host VBS like activities, along with little league baseball clinics, and potentially some light construction/painting opportunities. This mission trip is for families, students, and adults.

For questions, please contact Jason Hall: jhall@millbrook.cc

Providing life-changing outreach and Christian-based recovery, our organization is Aiken County’s only non-profit drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. The in-house program provides a 10-month curriculum, professional counseling, public education, job training, and various other opportunities and resources to promote healthy recovery for each resident. The goal is to ensure that every one of our clients is equipped to become a fully functioning, successful member of society.



ACTS – AREA CHURCHES TOGETHER SERVING – works to partner with churches, organizations, and individuals to provide assistance to our neighbors in need, in the name of Jesus Christ. Many people in our area are within one paycheck or less of financial trouble. Many need food, clothing, warmth, prescription medicine, home furnishings, or additional assistance. Reaching out in Christ’s name to those among us who need a helping hand is our mission.

CHRIST CENTRAL has locations in both Aiken and Graniteville to meet the needs of the poor and disadvantaged in our community by first providing basic needs, such as food, clothing, and prayer. The ministry then assists individuals in improving their lives and the lives of their families by providing teaching and training in areas needed to secure and retain employment, stabilize their family and develop Christian character. Their mission is to enrich Aiken and Graniteville by uniting volunteers to help people in need through food, clothing, prayer, education and job skills training. Their vision is to see Aiken and Graniteville become cities where an increasing number of young people graduate from high school, adults are able to find employment, poverty is clearly on the decrease, and both the natural and spiritual needs of its citizens are being met.



OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD shoeboxes impact children and families around the world. From children to seniors, people pack shoebox gifts each year to bless children in need. Year-round volunteers support these efforts across the country.
