Why Every Church Member Needs A Home Computer
Factories and plants are closing and moving overseas. The cost of fuel, food and other essential items is rising. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to find a job or a second job to help with expenses. The Internet is rapidly becoming the means by which church members can access money saving services, educational resources, earn additional income and lower family expenses to meet these new economic challenges. These are advantages church members need.
In addition, moving all church members into the "Information Age" will allow your church to operate more efficiently and cost effectively. Bible study can be conducted online, as well as church business meetings and group discussions. Members will have 24/7 access to church leaders and information bulletins. Members can be updated in real time when it comes to church sponsored programs and community activities. Finally, tithes and offerings can be donated much more conveniently and easier online .
Ad Hoc is a Latin phrase that means “for this purpose”. For this purpose we have organized ourselves to help school-age children acquire home computer systems to access Internet-based educational resources; to help our families and every family in our community economically by providing the means by which any participating family can increase their income from $100.00 to $500.00 a month, save $100.00 a month or more or a combination of both.
In order to take advantage of these Internet-based resources, church members must have their own home computer and printer.
Arrangements have been made with a leading manufacturer that will allow you to purchase an Internet-ready computer complete with monitor, printer and software direct from the manufacturer. The following number is a direct line to Mr. Murray. He will handle your purchase personally or a member of his team. The money you save from using our grocery service alone will pay for it and unlimited Internet access.

Update: April 16-30, 2008
The meeting scheduled for Monday night at 7:30 p.m., April 14, 2008 has been rescheduled for a later date to be announced. During the interim, Madame Chair agreed to diversify our community activities to include churches, clubs, organizations, non profits, schools, businesses and professionals. George Sistrunk will develop the necessary fliers and post them on the blog so any Ad Hoc Committee can use them.
The entire Bayne Street Project operational base in the Fairground subdivision in Orangeburg has been completed, except Sprinkle Avenue. 287 families in this area have been given Bayne Street flyers. 80% of the Heritage Subdivision has been completed. 300 families have been given Bayne Street flyers. In addition; 128 churches across America have been contacted and 250 families in Brentwood, North Brentwood and Williams Plaza Subdivisions have been exposed to Bayne Street programs.
Activity Analysis
Contacting African-American churches via the Internet has proven to be a major problem. The reason: The overwhelming majority do not have functional websites. The vast majority of email addresses and contact information have proven to be bogus or outdated. An unexpected large number of churches have not updated their web pages in 1 or 2 years.
The response from our operational base has also been disappointing when it comes to actual computers ordered. This is significant because, individuals and families can not take advantage of Bayne Street programs without computers. For May and the remainder of 2008, The Project will move out of poverty pockets in the Orangeburg area into the mainstream.
