Return Reference	Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a:	In 2014-2015, Woman's Missionary Union (WMU ) began the emphasis, All For You: Surrender, Sacrifice, Serve. "Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me'" Mark 8:34 (NIV) was the focus passage. The full passage was Mark 8:31-38. During this year, Woman's Missionary Union led Christ followers to surrender completely by denying self; sacrifice willingly by taking up their cross; and serve intentionally by following Christ into their community, state, and world. Beginning September 2014, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder became the focus of Project HELPSM, our critical issue emphasis. Woman's Missionary Union, Auxiliary to South Carolina Baptist ConventionSM provided resources and assisted associations and churches in holding educational events in their areas, as well as focusing on PTSD during their own events. WMU is the strongest, consistent entity in the church which seeks to help people to understand missions; to see the lostness of the world beginning in one's own community; and to equip women, men, boys and girls to commit to be personally involved in missions. This includes praying, giving financially through the Cooperative Program and special missions offerings, and hands-on involvement. Christian Women's Job Corps (CWJC ), a ministry of WMU and Christian Men's Job Corps (CMJCSM) continues to be an important part of the work of South Carolina WMU. WMU continues to stress through training that CWJC/CMJC may be done by one woman/man, one church, and one or more associations. Currently there are two active sites in South Carolina. WMU also sponsors the We're Here for You day of ministry each year. This occurs the Saturday before the South Carolina Baptist Convention annual meeting in November. Ten churches, representing seven associations reported involvement in mission action projects on this day. These reported that a total of 427 persons were served on that day by 106 volunteers and two Women on Mission groups. Mission action projects shared on that day included gathering and delivering canned food items; conducting a Good News Club; delivering Meals on Wheels for Greer Community ministries; distributing baby supplies and clothes; providing activity bags for children in the surgical waiting room at a local hospital; giving out tracts, the Book of John, Mature Living, Home Life or Our Daily Bread; provided a message, along with singing, snacks and Bingo with residents at an assisted living facility; visited, served refreshments, and presented gift bags to residents at a senior living facility and invited them to attend church (two attended church service on Sunday); distributed coats and clothes to the Women's Coalition and Man to Man; and distributed hats and gloves to Operation Care. South Carolina WMU encourages all churches who participate in We're Here for You to follow-up with those served on that day and to consider some of these projects and activities as ongoing missions involvement for their churches and associations. SOUTH CAROLINA MISSIONS GROWTH National WMU and SC WMU continue to work together to put the needed resources in the hands of churches to begin new organizations. During this church year, the following new WMU organizations were started with six months of free curriculum with a year's subscription. The new church organizations started were: 8 Mission Friends; 6 Girls in Action; 5 Royal Ambassadors; 5 Children in Action; 5 Acteens; 4 Youth on Mission; 3 Challengers; 3 Women on Mission; 2 Adults on Mission; 2 myMISSION; one language group; and one WMU officers. This is a total of 45 new groups in 25 churches. The new growth emphasis is Connect the Dots. This is the growth emphasis from national WMU. The emphasis has an acronym to help get more people involved in missions by using the word DOTS. D Discover new members O Organize groups T Teach churches S Spotlight entry points The entire program of work of SC WMU gives support to growth. This includes specialists, conferences, consultations, coaching, website information, mail-outs, newsletters, and responding to requests for assistance which come from churches and associations. The new age-level enlistment brochures provide information about missions discipleship for each stage in life. The brochures are available as a free download on the SC WMU website, www.scwmu.org, under resources for growth. WMU Membership and Organizations In 2014-2015, Annual Church Profile reports were received from less than 800 of our over 2,000 churches. There was only one question asked related to WMU; therefore the results are not a true picture of membership and missions involvement. LEADERSHIP TRAINING Leadership development continues to be one of the greatest needs that we have in WMU in South Carolina, and the WMU staff continues to seek new ways to reach the most leaders to ensure we have quality, trained leaders. To do this, SC WMU: provides state-sponsored leadership development events and plans and helps to assist associational leadership in leadership development events; staff members, Executive Board members and specialists participate in training conferences/events offered by associations/churches as well as speak in churches and associations as requested; staff members write articles and other materials about leadership development for the WMU website; and respond to specific situations and/or questions from churches and associations.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, continued:	Specialists WMU specialists enable South Carolina WMU to extend the services offered to the churches and associations. If a staff member cannot accept a speaking/training request, usually a specialist can. A specialist is a person with experience in the office, age level, or specialty in which they are serving. In addition, they have completed extensive training in the work of WMU. Specialists are available to speak in churches/associations, lead conferences, and teach North American/international mission studies, state missions emphasis, and other studies, i.e. emphasis book Secrets to Surrender. Leadership Development Event - Emerge A new leadership development event, called Emerge, was held at Camp La Vida on August 7-9, 2015. This event offered both associational and church leadership training. The weekend began on Friday evening with a conference, followed by dinner, a brief General Session, and A Bedouin Experience. Saturday began with a Morning Watch led by SC WMU president. Following Morning Watch, breakfast and a General Session were held. Director, Pastoral Care, Lexington Medical Center, provided a presentation on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). On Saturday afternoon and evening, participants attended Coffee and Crafts, a cultural experience, and a WorldCrafts Party. The weekend culminated with a worship service on Sunday morning. Eighty-five persons, representing 26 associations, attended the Friday evening associational leadership position conferences. In addition to state staff and other conference personnel. Church WMU leadership position conferences were offered on Saturday morning. Specialized conferences were offered during the afternoon. Sixty-seven persons, representing 37 churches, participated in the church leadership development. Associational Spring Meetings State WMU staff assisted associational WMU leadership with WMU Spring Meetings which were held during the months of March, April, and May. The purpose of these meetings is to provide missions inspiration and information and to conduct WMU business, which includes electing associational WMU leadership for the new church year. The SC WMU office sends program plans and materials. SC WMU also provides travel for the missionaries. A WMU staff member or representative attends every meeting. The majority of the associations included a presentation from a retired or active international or North American missionary as a part of their program. Approximately 3,233 individuals participated in these meetings which were held in 38 of the 42 associations. MISSION SUPPORT The mission support focus areas of Woman's Missionary Union include praying and giving. Each year, WMU co-sponsors with the Missions Mobilization Group a mission support project for prisoner packets at Christmas. This marks the 38th year of providing prisoner packets. A total of 24,466 prisoner packets were provided in 2014. This is an increase over what was given the previous year and exceeded the required number needed. We thank South Carolina Baptists who faithfully give to this project. With associations, WMU sponsors ministry health kits in the spring. Because of the way health kits are collected and distributed in the associations, we do not have a total figure for these. WMU continues to provide duffel bags and Bibles for children in the foster care program. WMU works with the South Carolina Foster Parents Association to provide these items. During 2014-2015, South Carolina WMU received a total of $15,521.67 for the purchase of Duffel Bags and Bibles. Sixty churches and WMUs contributed towards this mission support effort. In addition, one association and thirteen individuals contributed towards this total. A total of 1,050 duffel bags were purchased with this money. All of these were delivered to South Carolina Foster Parents Association contacts in late February and early March. Duffel Bags and Bibles are given to all foster children in South Carolina. In addition to the money that was sent to South Carolina WMU, other churches worked directly through their local South Carolina Foster Parents Association contact. WMU also assumes a major responsibility for the promotion of the Cooperative Program. Although the Cooperative Program receipts for 2015 fell short of the South Carolina Baptist Convention budget goal, we are grateful for each dollar given, and the sacrificial giving of South Carolina Baptists during difficult financial times. This affirms all that South Carolina Baptists do together for the Kingdom of God. Every year, WMU is the primary promoter of the Week of Prayer for International Missions, the Week of Prayer for North American Missions, and the Season of Prayer for State Missions. The theme for the 2014 Season of Prayer for State Missions was "Priceless." The Scripture was 2 Corinthians 9:6-15, (NIV). Suggested music was: congregational: "Let Others See Jesus in You," "Take the Name of Jesus with You," "Reach Out and Touch," "Jesus Loves Me," Ensemble or Solo: "Others, and "God of This City," Chris Tomlin. Focus areas were: Church Planting (African American Work), Collegiate Summer Missions (Connie Maxwell Children's Home), and A Witness to the World Partnership (Cleveland). Information for prayer and teaching helps for all age-levels was produced for use in September. The Leaders Guide, Age-level procedures, & daily missionary prayer guides were provided to churches for the eight-day prayer observance. Other products provided were: suggestions for Churchwide Observance, Sermon Helps, Family Missions, and Children's Sermons. A Missions Fact/Interest Sheet, clip art, a poster, and an allocation sheet on the Janie Chapman Offering for State Missions, Missions Education, and Great Commission Living also were provided. Season of Prayer materials were on the WMU website. Letters were also sent to pastors urging their support and promotion of the season of prayer and offering. A DVD which included all the written materials as well as video clips was sent to church WMU leaders, all pastors, association offices, and associational WMU leadership team members. In addition, the Family Missions Page and information on individuals available to speak on behalf of state missions were mailed to every church. Information packets were mailed to all who agreed to speak on behalf of state missions. Materials were also translated for the Hispanic audience and mailed to all Hispanic churches. Other mission support events/projects include: promotion of missions emphases and Associational Emphasis Week; monetary gifts to South Carolina missionaries when they are appointed/commissioned and at Christmas; monetary gifts, twice a year, to children (MKs) of South Carolina missionaries attending college/university and to any MK attending a college/university in South Carolina; providing transportation to MK Re-entry Retreat for SC MKs entering their freshman year of college; and promotion of and participation in the South Carolina Baptist Convention missions partnerships. We also promote giving to the Pure Water, Pure LoveSM ministry of WMU, which provides pure water for missionaries and sometimes whole communities. We encourage church and associational WMU organizations to have WorldCraftsSM parties. An annual day of fellowship is provided for South Carolina missionaries and their families with 37 attending. Two Missionary Parents Fellowship meetings were held during the 2014-2015 year. The fall meeting with 18 attending, and the spring with 47 attending and a guest speaker. WMU provides meals and programs for both meetings.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, continued:	2015 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions From January 1-December 31, 2015, $7,945,917.57 was given. This was .57% or $45,563.41 less than what was given during 2014. 2015 Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions From January 1-December 31, 2015, South Carolina Baptists gave $3,426,824.18. This was a decrease of 3.37% or $119,570.59 less than what was given during 2014. 2015 Janie Chapman OfferingSM for State Missions, Missions Education, and Great Commission Living From January 1 - December 31, 2015, $1,618,749.90 was given to the Janie Chapman Offering. This represents a decrease of 3.66% or $61,422.64 less than the 2014 receipts. A check for $1,105,215.72 was sent to the South Carolina Baptist Convention for the Evangelism and Missions Team, SCBC Emphasis (Great Commission Living), International Student Ministries, Disaster Relief, McCall Royal Ambassador Camp, and Associational Services Office. WMU received $513,534.14 for Camp La Vida and WMU ministries/work. When the WMU Executive Board meets in March 2016, the interest earned will be allocated. SOUTH CAROLINA MISSIONARIES Due to security issues, we no longer provide in print names and areas of service of our missionaries. We regard their safety and security as a primary concern. Always keep our missions personnel in your prayers. If you have any questions, please contact the state WMU office. During the 2014-2015 church year, we know that there were at least three career missionaries appointed to serve and two missionary apprentices appointed to serve. Of these five appointed, one career missionary is serving in a Last Frontier area and two are serving among the Sub-Saharan African Peoples (SSAP). Two missionary apprentices are also serving among the Sub-Saharan African Peoples Group (SSAP). Five Journeymen who list South Carolina as their home state were appointed to serve. One couple retired from the International Mission Board in December 2014. Two who served as journeyman completed their two years of service during this reporting period. Three retired North American Mission Board missionaries were deceased during this reporting period. CAMP LA VIDA The 2015 summer camping season theme at Camp La Vida (CLV) was "Made to Follow." The camping season consists of two mother/daughter overnights, a mother/daughter minicamp, GA and Acteens minicamps, GA and Acteens five-day camps, and two Children in Action and Youth on Mission camping experiences. In the 2015 season, a total of 1,384 campers attended. This number includes 488 who attended two mother/daughter overnights and one mother/daughter minicamp, as well as 9 children of missionaries and program guests who stayed in cabins and participated in the camping program. A total of 209 decisions were recorded: 56 campers made professions of faith in Jesus Christ; 43 rededicated their lives to Christ; 54 committed to full-time mission service; 13 to full-time Christian service; and 43 other decisions were made. Campers contributed $3,285.78 through the Cooperative Program (an offering is not taken during mother/daughter overnights). There were 34 program guests and 40 staff for the camping season, including short term staff. Fifteen from Connie Maxwell Children's Home and three from Christian Women's Job Corps were provided camperships (half the fee). Five Convention staff family members attended camp. Camp La Vida's social media following has grown to 890 followers on Facebook, 213 followers on Instagram, and 56 followers on Pinterest. During non-camping season, we prepared for work day which was once again held in April. There were 46 people representing 6 churches that came to help that day. The work that day was great in helping to prepare camp for the coming season. Another team came later in the year to assist with loading and transporting the old beds to a mission in Ohio. That cleared our third unit, so we could paint and remodel the interior and get it ready for the new furniture to be installed. We had another great camping season. TRIPLE A Triple A is a tool for church and associational WMU leaders to use in measuring their progress and to aid them in annual planning and evaluation. The church tool has 13 categories. To receive recognition, 44 out of 68 actions, with at least one activity from 11 of the 13 categories must be completed. In the association's tool, there are 11 categories and 81 actions. To be recognized, 70 actions from a minimum of 7 different categories must be completed. In 2014-2015, 94 churches and 5 associations were recognized. PHILIP INTIATIVE In Acts 8 we read about Philip and the Ethiopian. God asked Philip to go down a road few traveled. On that road, God had a divine appointment for Philip. He met an Ethiopian who needed someone to explain salvation to him. What if there had been no one to explain the Truth to the Ethiopian? What makes it any different today? There are 2.8 billion people in the world today who have never heard the gospel message. Working to help carry out the International Mission Board's desire for limitless marketplace professionals on church planting teams in global cities and the South Carolina Baptist Convention's initiative to send out more missionaries from South Carolina, SC WMU is facilitating a missionary movement that will mobilize professionals to leverage their careers somewhere strategic for the mission of God. SC WMU, along with Anderson, Charleston Southern, and North Greenville Universities created a Global Marketplace Focus. This focus will help provide students, who are getting a professional degree, with cross-cultural ministry ability to reach the nations. OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST The 112th WMU Missions Encounter & Annual Meeting was held. Our president presided over each session. At least 539 persons registered, representing forty associations. The theme for the meeting was WholeHearted. Theme interpretations an music were presented; including the piano. Prayer times for our missionaries having birthdays were led . Our benediction for each session was led by our program guests. Friday afternoon offered attendees opportunities to: attend a reception for our outgoing and our newly elected presidents; attend break-out conferences; participate in mission support projects for the local community and overseas missions; visit exhibits featuring missions/WMU work; and shop at the on-site WMU and Camp Store. Refreshments during the event were provided. There was a general chairman of the host church committees. This meeting would not have been possible without the host church committees. Business conducted included: 1) election of a SC WMU president; 2) the 2015-2016 Executive Board was elected; 3) the 2016 State Nominating Committee was elected; 4) the site for the 2018 Annual Meeting was approved; and 5) Triple A association and church recipients were recognized. Highlights of the meeting included: missions stories from South Carolina and beyond; photo booths featuring "I'm WholeHearted for .. and Camp La Vida. Ongoing work of WMU has continued, including eight newsletters that were prepared and sent to associational and church leadership. The SC WMU Facebook page now has 731 followers. South Carolina WMU continues to be involved with Hold Out the Lifeline: A Mission to Families. Hold Out the Lifeline assists and enables religious congregations and communities to work alone or with agencies and other organizations for the purpose of improving the physical, mental, social, educational, environmental and spiritual well-being of families in South Carolina. A WMU Associate serves as a member of the Statewide Advisory Committee of Hold Out the Lifeline. Volunteers continue to assist in the WMU office. From September 1, 2014 through August 31, 2015, 19 volunteers from 3 churches served 51 hours. Although a change in our newsletter format means fewer materials to collate and mail, these individuals continue to be a strategic part of our work, as they play a big role in getting resources to our churches. Each year during the fall, we invite volunteers to a luncheon given in their honor. In attendance at the luncheon in November 2014 were 45. WMU continues to help to promote the Mother's Day Offering for the South Carolina Baptist Ministries for the Aging.
