PLAYERS: Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Elliott Sadler, Matt Crafton, Brian Vickers
The No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) team continued a strong start to what will soon be the halfway point in the NASCAR Nationwide Series' 2013 season with a fifth-place finish Friday night on Kentucky's 1.5-mile Speedway. Although drivers weren't afforded the chance to complete the rain-shortened Feed the Children 300, Kyle Busch and his Monster Energy team left the Bluegrass State pleased with a solid run. The team has now recorded 6 wins, 12 top-five finishes, 3 poles and 973 laps led in 15 races this year. All six of the victories and 11 of the 12 top-five finishes have been driven at the hands of Kyle Busch, the series' all-time winningest driver. The team started the weekend with one practice session Thursday, which saw Busch top the speed charts various times. Because of the extreme bumps on Sparta's paved track, there was a real challenge for teams to decide whether they set the car up for speed or for handling over the bumps. Busch preferred handling over the bumps, however on race day morning during the second and final practice session, the No. 54 team struggled to find that perfect combination of speed and car handling. With a fifth-place qualifying lap run, the Monster Energy Camry began the race in row three, when Busch made quick work of the competitors in front of him, driving to the third spot by lap eight. "You're the fastest car out there man," crew chief Adam Stevens relayed to his skilled driver, Busch, who replied, "Ya man!" Spirits were high as the team watched Busch reel in the leaders and take the race lead on lap 19 of the scheduled 200-lap race. When asked how the car was handling, Busch confirmed, "It's good, turns good." The No. 54 unit had their first opportunity to replenish fuel and tires and make one small car adjustment, when on lap 50 they visited pit road under green-flag conditions. As they returned to the race track and Busch blended back into the field, an event caution waved, but it didn't hinder the 54 team's track position. As cars cycled through pit road and the field was set, the No. 54 took the green-flag restart back in the lead position. Around lap 78 the team started to hear of changing car conditions, when Busch reported a 'free-in, tight-center' handling. Having raced the evening before on the same track, in NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series event, Busch knew the track's surface would likely change further, becoming more 'loose' as the cool evening progressed. This played into the discussion between driver and team as they started to feel pressure from the second-place competitor and eventual race winner, Brad Keselowski in the No. 22 Ford. One lap shy of the event's halfway point, Keselowski took the race lead and the No. 54 team continued to strategize their next move to regain the top spot. "Tight is where he is beating me, but with the time of day I wouldn't free it up," described the Monster Energy driver. At lap 110 the team visited pit road for the second time under the green flag and felt car changes made from that pit road visit would help Busch maneuver back towards the No. 22 leader. A series of subsequent caution periods over the next 15 laps proved challenging for the No. 54 team, as driver and team contemplated whether visiting pit road would yield enough benefit for what would be track position lost. Ultimately in both cases, under yellow on lap 123 and lap 131, they chose to follow the leader and remain on the track surface, forgoing time in the pits to make further adjustments. The No. 54 team began turning attention to the weather radar at this point and tracked an oncoming storm, although no precipitation had begun to fall. On the next event caution at lap 140 the team, now in third place, was finally in their fuel window to allow for one remaining pit stop, so they visited the pits but didn't achieve the result they were hoping for. As Busch entered the team's designated pit box, he slid slightly over the front line, and then fought the transmission to throw it back into reverse, which caused delay for the team to work on the car. Lost time on pit road would put them at the tail end of the lead line, scored now in 14th at restart. With car adjustments made that helped Busch drive the No. 54 Camry better, he began to flex his muscle and made a serious drive towards to the front of the field with the green-flag restart at lap 145. By lap 149 Busch was seventh, then fifth on lap 154 when he had gained nine spots in nine laps. Busch was focused and final laps would prove to be exciting, until the rain started falling. NASCAR would exhibit the yellow flag once more at lap 163 for rain over the race track but kept the competitors on track in an effort to maintain a dry track surface, then eventually pulled the teams down pit road to stop. After showers continued to fall NASCAR determined the race complete at lap 170 of the scheduled 200 laps, recording 255 miles completed, short of the planned 300-mile event. When asked about the car's handling post-race Busch commented, "A couple runs ago we started getting tight, but the guys here have done a stellar job today being able to give me a race car capable of running up front the way we have. Earlier this morning we weren't very good and Adam (Stevens, crew chief) and the guys went to work and made some smart changes and made us a really fast race car. Just not quite fast enough. The 22 (Brad Keselowski) definitely had the field covered." Busch earned the 3M Lap Leader Award by leading a race-high 74 circuits, at laps 19-49, 55-93 and 95-98. JGR earned the Mahle Clevite Engine Builder of the Race Award with its 5th-place spot. The No. 54 Monster Energy team owned by J.D. Gibbs maintains first place in the Owner's Point standings, now leading the Penske Racing No. 22 by 39 points. Keselowski won the event with his 22nd series victory, followed by Elliott Sadler, Matt Crafton, Brian Vickers and Busch. There were five caution periods for 25 laps of the race along with 12 lead changes across seven drivers. The NASCAR Nationwide Series returns to Daytona (Fl.) International Speedway on July 5 for the Subway Firecracker 200 with television broadcast starting at 7p.m. on ESPN. Busch will make his 13th start behind the wheel of the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 54 Monster Energy Camry. -Kyle Busch Motorsports PR

Report: Japan makes up just 1% of worldwide Kinect hardware sales
That's according to a report from this month's Famitsu Xbox magazine, which also outs Kinect Adventures as the top selling game for Kinect at 114K units sold, assuredly assisted to the top spot with placement in hardware bundles. Microsoft has yet to release a statement on the one-year sales numbers, but has remained steadfast in its commitment to the Japanese market -- despite the country's aversion to Microsoft and its products.
Comparatively speaking, Microsoft said it had sold 10 million Kinect units worldwide as of March this year, and this report puts around 94,000 in Japan as of March, making Japanese sales just under a single percentage point of worldwide sales. Eight months later, and Japan comprises just barely above one percentage point of that same 10 million sales number.

VA Mental Health:
Number of Veterans Receiving Care, Barriers Faced, and Efforts to Increase Access
GAO-12-12: Published: Oct 14, 2011. Publicly Released: Oct 14, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In fiscal year 2010, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provided health care to about 5.2 million veterans. Recent legislation has increased many Operations Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi Freedom (OIF) veterans' priority for accessing VA's health care, and concerns have been raised about the extent to which VA is providing mental health care to eligible veterans of all eras. There also are concerns that barriers may hinder some veterans from accessing needed mental health care. GAO was asked to provide information on veterans who receive mental health care from VA. In this report, GAO provides information on (1) how many veterans received mental health care from VA from fiscal years 2006 through 2010, (2) key barriers that may hinder veterans from accessing mental health care from VA, and (3) VA efforts to increase veterans' access to VA mental health care. GAO obtained data from VA's Northeast Program Evaluation Center (NEPEC) on the number of veterans who received mental health care from VA. The number of veterans represents a unique count of veterans; veterans were counted only once, even if they received care multiple times during a fiscal year or across the 5-year period. GAO also reviewed literature published from 2006 to 2011, reviewed VA documents, and interviewed officials from VA and veterans service organizations (VSO).
Over the 5-year period from fiscal years 2006 through 2010, about 2.1 million unique veterans received mental health care from VA. Each year the number of veterans receiving mental health care increased, from about 900,000 in fiscal year 2006 to about 1.2 million in fiscal year 2010. OEF/OIF veterans accounted for an increasing proportion of veterans receiving care during this period. The key barriers identified from the literature that may hinder veterans from accessing mental health care from VA, which were corroborated through interviews, are stigma, lack of understanding or awareness of mental health care, logistical challenges to accessing mental health care, and concerns about VA's care, such as concerns that VA's services are primarily for older veterans. Many of these barriers are not necessarily unique to veterans accessing mental health care from VA, but may affect anyone accessing mental health care from any provider. Veterans may be affected by barriers differently based on demographic factors, such as age and gender. For example, younger OEF/OIF veterans and female veterans may perceive that VA's services are primarily for someone else, such as older veterans or male veterans. VA has implemented several efforts to increase veterans' access to mental health care, including integrating mental health care into primary care. VA also has implemented efforts to educate veterans, their families, health care providers, and other community stakeholders about mental health conditions and VA's mental health care. According to VA officials, these efforts help get veterans into care by reducing, and in some cases eliminating, the barriers that may hinder them from accessing care. GAO provided a draft of this report to VA for comment. In its response, VA provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.

Help me make a dessert with mangos and coconut!
I want to make a dessert for my family vacation with fresh mangoes and coconut in some form- shredded, milk, cream. It needs to be inexpensive, fairly simple and serve 15. I'm having thai steak salad and ginger, garlic seasoned jasmine rice for dinner so trying to stick with an Asian theme. Any suggestions appreciated.
I read someplace about a Thai dessert made with rice, mango and coconut. Search around and you should be able to find it without a lot of trouble.
Since you are planning on serving jasmine rice w/dinner. I wouldn't recommend another rice dish for dessert. But mango pudding with shredded coconut would be refreshing. Or mango sorbet with coconut. Or just serve fresh mango slices with a coconut cream dressing. Simple!
I don't have any recipes myself, but I found a few.
If you have an ice cream maker, here's a recipe for Mango Coconut ice cream. It's nice because you can make it ahead of time, like the day before.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, this recipe for mango sorbet with a coconut cream slush topping sounds delicious.
Otherwise, HillJ's suggestion sounds great too. Mango slices with coconut whipped cream sounds heavenly, perhaps with some toasted shredded coconut sprinkled on top, too.
A recipe for coconut whipped cream:
re: maxie
Along these lines but do Chinese jelly instead and use mangos:
Love the cookie idea, maybe an almond cookie?
You can bake sandwich cookies. Make mango jam and put it in between two flat coconut macaroons.
re: magiesmom
Magiesmom- do you have a recipe for the bread pudding?
I recently made a coconut rum trifle with fresh mango. Pound cake, rum, mango, coconut custard. Recipe Is google able.
Coconut rice pudding with sliced mango and a mango curd. Coconut Tres Leche cake with mango curd or mango frosting and cubed mango. The thai dish is just glutinous rice served with sliced mango and coconut milk. Delicious, though.
Here is a coconut lime semifreddo topped with mangoes. It is delicious.
re: angelsmom
This might be the ticket, doesn't sound too difficult or time-consuming.
re: yayadave
That's what I was going to suggest. I used to make this a lot. It's easy and tasty.
i don't have anything to contribute except that when I read the title of your post I started salivating at the thought.
There is a frozen dessert in the Pichet Ong book called The Sweet Spot. It is super easy and I think really good. It has coconut milk, toasted shredded unsweetened coconut, a small amount of cream, a small amount of sugar and a little vanilla. I make it in ramekins. (The book makes it in pops.) I think it's really good. If you added some diced mango, you'd be there. Or a mango sauce.
Let me know if you want proportions.
re: karykat
The Sweet Spot is my fav dessert book of all time! Love his inspirations. You can go wrong with Pichet.
re: worktime
Absolutely, worktime. You can make it in one large pan and serve it individually. I do that all the time with cold desserts.
re: worktime
Sure you could. No reason why not.
You wouldn't need any equipment. It calls for a small amount of whipped cream but you could put that in unwhipped easily too.
I'll post the proportions later tonight.
re: karykat
Here are the proportions for the coconut pops.
2 2/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (22 ounces)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c whipping cream
1/4 c shredded unsweetened coconut,toasted
Put the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and warm, stirring, just til sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
Whip the cream til stiff. Add half of the whipped cream to the coconut milk mixture and stir till well blended. Gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream and the toasted coconut. Put in molds and freeze till hard.
I think you were talking about sweetened coconut rather than unsweetened? If so, I would put in less sugar to keep it from being too sweet.
I also don't think it's important to whip the cream. It's hard to whip an amount of cream that small and I don't think you really need to.
This makes 8 popsicles. You could just double or triple it to fit the pan you're freezing in. (I think it's figuring on kind of small popsicles, so if you're freezing in one large pan instead, I think I'd count on somewhat more per person.) And throw in some mango too if you want!
Puree mangue and grated cocunut, add to vanilla greek yogurt,freeze and spoon out as ice cream.
Mango with Coconut Milk Sticky Rice
We eat this at a Thai restaurant in town. It is wonderful
I have served mango sorbet and coconut ice cream together. It takes like a tropical creamsicle. Diced pineapple might be a consideration on top.
Or you could make coconut ice cream and serve with diced mango macerated with a little sugar and lime juice.

RCI is a top provider of pipe corrals, dog kennels, mare motels, hay and equipment covers
RCI has been handcrafting custom corral panels in California since 2001 and is California's most established corral builder. Because RCI exclusively uses Allied Gatorshield tubing with a 55KSI tensile strength rating, most of our original work remains in service even after thirteen years of use.
No other builder can match our quality, workmanship and pricing. Over the past thirteen years we have seen many companies come and go. Almost every company that was originally in our market is either out of business, or no longer fabricating corrals and many now refer their corral business to RCI.
Because of our low overhead we are able to offer the most competitive prices and while continuing to use the best materials. At RCI each corral is fabricated by certified welders using the highest quality steel.
This is not just a claim. Our steel quaity is backed by mill certificates. These are the standards that are required by buiding departments government agencies and engineers. "High quality steel" means nothing without mill certificates and specifications.
All of our steel is ASTM Grade A-500, 55 KSI tensile strength.
No matter what your needs are we have a solution to house your animals safely and comfortably. We have the resources to complete your project on time and on budget.
From a single stall
To a complete barn
To a fully equipped facility
We have the experience to do it right.

The Rev. Reggie Longcrier of Hickory wears many hats in the criminal justice movement, and will be a featured speaker at the COPE Mid-Atlantic Conference on September 25, 2014. Longcrier has been the chaplain of Catawba Correctional Center in Newton for 28 years. He is also the founding Executive Director of Exodus Homes, a faith based United Way agency that provides supportive housing for homeless recovering people returning to the community from substance abuse treatment centers and prison.
The three day conference covers many subjects including dealing with family issues, organizational development, using social media for marketing, fund development, human trafficking, pluralism in religious practices within prisons, post incarceration trauma, and many other important topics. Longcrier's presentation "Non Traditional Faith Based Supportive Housing" is the only one about housing people coming out of jail or prison. It will cover the comprehensive services at Exodus Homes which are primarily provided with guidance and supervision by peer leaders who are residents in the program.
He will show how the housing program partners with many local prisons, and Exodus Missionary Outreach Church where he is the founding pastor. Longcrier will also share how they developed in-house enterprises called Exodus Works that provide vocational training for the unemployed residents while generating income to support the program. Exodus Homes has a national reputation for innovation and effectiveness, and Longcrier has spoken all over the country for years about the unique Exodus model for developing grassroots peer led programs.
Longcrier was incarcerated off and on for 25 years while he battled addiction to cocaine and heroin. Prison ministry programs changed his life, and he tells the story of his transformation in his book "From Disgrace to Dignity" that was published in 2010. Today as chaplain at Catawba Correctional Center in Newton he holds the keys to the prison gate where he was once an inmate.
"I always look forward to the COPE conferences because it brings together the best of the best in criminal justice and prison ministry. I am very honored that they have invited me to present in Greensboro" said Longcrier.
For more information about the COPE conference go to www.copeconnections.org. For more information about Exodus Homes or the book "From Disgrace to Dignity", contact Rev. Reggie Longcrier at 828-962-8195 or firstname.lastname@example.com or www.exodushomes.org.]]>
In 1997 when the Rev. Reggie Longcrier founded Exodus Missionary Outreach Church, his message was that they were starting "The Exodus Movement" which would bring people and communities from disgrace to dignity. This movement included a non traditional multi-ethnic church, a growing prison ministry, and a vision for a housing program to serve the least of these. Rev. Susan Smith Walker was there from the beginning. She has seen the Exodus Movement manifest into a thriving inclusive church where she is associate pastor, a strong prison ministry that brings inmates into the community regularly, and the success of Exodus Homes where she is the assistant executive director. Exodus Homes is a United Way agency that provides 60 beds of faith based supportive housing for homeless recovering people returning to the community from treatment centers and prison.
The program has a national reputation for excellence and innovation. Walker has spoken at the White House, and as far as Los Angeles about the unique peer led continuum that has reduced neighborhood crime, reduced prison recidivism, and given thousands an opportunity to learn a new way to live after addiction or incarceration.
Three years ago, an old friend of Walker's who lives in Germany came to tour the ministry while in the United States after reading about it on Facebook. She was so impressed by what she saw that she returned to her church in Germany and convinced The American Protestant Church (APC) in Bonn to begin sending annual financial support to Exodus Homes. The APC is a very diverse English speaking congregation with 40% of the members from Africa, 30% from Germany, and the rest from countries all over the world who are in Bonn to go to university or work. Muslim people from many countries are settling in Germany, and they are very challenged by the cultural and language barriers of the growing number of their Middle Eastern neighbors.
The relationship between the APC in Germany and the Exodus ministry has grown stronger over the years. They have invited Walker to come to Germany and facilitate a leadership retreat where she will help participants develop greater empathy and compassion while untying the inner knots that block the Holy Spirit from freely leading people into servant leadership. She has been prayerfully developing an interactive program that will include highlighting how Exodus church, the prison ministry, and Exodus Homes work together to make the community a better place to live for all people. She will also share other ways to make a difference at home and in the world such as the Shelter Box program (www.shelterbox.org), and Compassion International (www.compassion.com).
APC pastor the Rev. John Carrick says "There are a surprising number of Muslim people in our neighborhood. I do encounter them around the church and in the park near the church all the time. There is a huge cultural barrier for most of us in reaching out to them because of a language difference for many of us and because we do not know what is appropriate or polite in their culture. Many of us rub shoulders with Middle Eastern folks but make no eye contact and do not speak to each other." Walker sees similarities between how Germans experience discomfort with the "other" just as people here are unsure how to feel about homeless recovering people as they try to re-enter society and begin again.
The retreat will be held 80km from Bonn at the The Familienferiendorf Hübingen located in the mountain setting of the Nassau Natural Park, Westerwald. Walker leaves for Germany on September 30, 2014 and will return on October 6, 2014. She is thrilled that what the Exodus ministry has accomplished in Hickory, N.C. will now impact church leaders in Europe. Many members of the APC are only in Bonn for a season, so what they learn in this retreat has the potential to spread worldwide when they return to their home countries.
Walker is excited and anxious about the opportunity, saying, "I have to remind myself that God is the unseen power at work in our ministry, and that only God could orchestrate an invitation like this. Who am I to go to Germany and speak to people from all over the world about empathy and compassion? All I know is if God brought me to it, God will bring me through it. I pray that God uses me to make a difference."

Taylorsville furniture manufacturer Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Inc. is a strong supporter of Exodus Homes, a Catawba County United Way agency that provides faith-based supportive housing for homeless recovering people returning to the community from treatment centers and prison. They believe in Exodus Homes' strong work ethic, and commitment to being as self supporting as possible.
Exodus Homes is able to generate two thirds of their annual operating budget from in-house enterprises called Exodus Works and resident fees, and they depend on tax deductible contributions to make up the gap. Gold and Williams have stepped up for the past seven years with a $10,000 gift in the summer when revenues and expenses collide in a serious cash flow crunch because of insurance renewals, and other annual expenses that all come due at the same time. "The annual Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Challenge has been a faithful bridge that brings us over the financial dog days of summer, and we are deeply grateful for their help" says the Rev. Reggie Longcrier, Exodus Homes executive director.
"Exodus is truly a welcoming and affirming environment for everyone which is why Bob and I love this organization," said Gold. "Bob and I know many of the residents and applaud their tremendous efforts to be self supporting. These are people who for the most part, did not start life with good support and have almost never had the proper support system to keep them out of trouble. Because we feel lucky to have had that support all our lives, we think it is our responsibility to help these folks and give them the break they so desperately need to succeed and get ahead."
"It's our hope that the community will join us in supporting Exodus Homes and that our matching gift challenge will inspire others to step up and give to Exodus so that they can continue to do their great work," said Williams. "Giving homeless recovering people a pathway back to gainful employment is good for everyone and these people really need a break from society so that they can be productive citizens. The more we raise, the better chance they will ultimately have to succeed."
The 2013 Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Inc Challenge is on from now through September 27, 2013. To participate, send your tax deductible gift to Exodus Homes, P.O. Box 3311, Hickory, N.C. 28603 or you can give online at www.exodushomes.org.
Angela is a board member of Exodus Homes, and dedicated her second Boston Marathon in 2012 in honor of Exodus Homes and her son, Nolan. She raised awareness about teenage substance abuse, interventions, and continues to assist local families seeking help for their teens.
In 2011, Angela's running friend, Anna Griffis, carried the torch for Running for Recovery. Anna is a former resident of Hickory who now resides in Colorado. She is the daughter of the Rev. Thomas and Susan Griffis of Hickory. While training in 2011, Anna worked with homeless and addicted people in Washington, DC. The 2010 and 2011 Running for Recovery campaigns raised over $35,000 to help Exodus Homes survive the recession and continue serving homeless recovering people regardless of their inability to pay anything at admission.
At age 53, Angela has qualified for five Boston races. She compared the rigorous training for each race to what the Exodus residents must do to learn a different way of life saying, "People in recovery have to work hard to stay clean and sober every day, often against all odds. I am running another Boston Marathon for them because it's never truly over for these folks. As a board member, I see how hard they must work, and I see how much it takes for Exodus to help them become productive members of society. I am a strong supporter of Exodus Homes, and I will run my best for its survival and for all the people who have been transformed by their unique program".
Angela is also an avid biker along with her husband, Dr. David Hamilton. She works in private practice as a speech-language pathologist and consults with Solutions of Hickory. She is a member of St. Luke's United Methodist Church where she helps with the ESL program. She is also an Augustine Project Tutor at Grandview Middle School.
This year, Angela is designating all Running for Recovery funds to be used for sponsoring new Exodus Homes' residents who are admitted regardless of their inability to pay. Exodus Homes is one of the only programs that will accept homeless recovering people who cannot pay. Your gift in Running for Recovery will help sponsor their first month – the critical orientation phase. During this time, new residents are assessed and receive help with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, access to substance abuse treatment, orientation to recovery, and job readiness training. Your gift for the 2013 Running for Recovery campaign can help a man or woman begin again, and learn a new way of life!
In addition to your financial support, there are other ways to help in this important work that reduces neighborhood crime and stabilizes the community. You can volunteer your time and talents to Exodus Homes in helping a resident find a job; provide transportation to medical appointments or court; work in the Exodus Homes office, or volunteer at the Exodus Works Thrift Store at 510 1st Ave SW in Hickory, 28602. Please contact Rev. Susan Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or 828-962-8196 for more information about volunteering.
Donations of furniture, appliances, and household items in good condition are always needed at the Exodus Works Thrift Store, where you can also get your car hand-washed as you shop. Please call 828-828-324-2390 if you need us to pick up your donation.
Rev. Susan Smith, Rev. Reggie Longcrier, and Angela Hamilton are all available to speak to churches, civic groups, and other organizations about the work of Exodus Homes. Please call on us!

Get there early because it doesn't last long! See you then!]]>
We hope you will join us for a delicious meal and fellowship with William Mangum, the one who has helped raise over $4,000,000 for homeless programs over the past 25 years. Those who agree to help get these cards out in the community will be helping all the homeless recovering residents of Exodus Homes, especially our homeless veterans, and other homeless and needy veterans in the community.
This special concert will feature Zack Martin, Exodus Gospel Choir Minister of Music, along with Raymond and Shonda Hollis of The Favor Center.
The Rev. Reggie Longcrier, founding executive director of Exodus Homes is going to Washington, D.C. to participate in a planning meeting of religious leaders convened by The Sentencing Project to develop a long term vision and strategy for ending mass incarceration The meeting on Tuesday, February 28th, 2012 in Washington, D.C. is part of a 9-month process of exploring the dramatic rise in the prison population in the United States, and has included state based advocates, formerly incarcerated persons, and national organizations working towards reforming the nation's criminal justice system. Faith leaders play an important role in calling for significant changes in the criminal justice system because of their ability to expand the constituency engaged in reform.
Exodus Homes is a faith-based United Way agency that provides 63 beds of supportive housing to homeless recovering people returning to the community from treatment centers and prison in Hickory, N.C. This is not the first time representatives from Exodus Homes have been invited to help shape national policy in Washington.
The goal of this convening is to bring together faith-based leaders who can help identify the structure and framework of a national campaign to end mass incarceration. Faith leaders play an important role in calling for significant changes in the criminal justice system because of their ability to expand the constituency engaged in reform. Longcrier was invited because of the national reputation of excellence at Exodus Homes which includes his work as chaplain of Catawba Correctional Center in Newton, N.C.
The Exodus Homes' "Giving Back" Gospel Concert is an annual event of thanksgiving to the community for supporting the faith-based United Way agency that provides supportive housing to homeless recovering people returning to this area from treatment centers and prisons. The renown Exodus Missionary Outreach Church Gospel Choir under the direction of Minister of Music Zack Martin will sing contemporary and traditional gospel music sprinkled with testimonies of thanks from Exodus Homes' residents. For many people, the Giving Back Gospel Concert is an upbeat way to close the holiday season for another year.
Exodus Homes will give a special thanks to Greensboro artist William Mangum, creator of the Honor Card program which has raised over three million dollars for programs helping homeless people over the past 24 years. Each year, Mangum creates a special painting with a message for the Honor Card which is produced at no charge to the nonprofits who receive 100% of proceeds from card sales. The Honor Card program is a major fund raiser for Exodus Homes every year.
The 2011 Honor Card titled "Change the World" features Bonnie Harris, a formerly homeless woman who Mangum met at church in Greensboro. He was impressed by how she had overcome addiction and homelessness to become the founding director of Hannah's Haven, a Greensboro program that helps homeless recovering women get back on their feet again. In the "Change the World" painting, Harris looks out the window at a homeless person in a scene that Mangum hopes will inspire us to do for one what we would like to do for everyone. During the Giving Back Gospel Concert, Harris will perform "He Loves Me Anyway" with her liturgical dance team made of up of residents and graduates of Hannah's Haven.
When considering how God has brought her from homelessness to community leader, Harris said, "There are only two words that I can say - praise Jesus. I never imagined that God would use what almost destroyed me so that I could help others." Since 1998, Exodus Homes has helped thousands of homeless people like Harris become productive, tax paying citizens. The Giving Back Gospel Concert is a celebration of life and the amazing ability to change with God's help.
The concert is free and followed by a lively time of fellowship and light refreshments.
