Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the devotion with which Reverend Sam Thompson and his wife, Annie Thompson, have served the Clover community for nearly twenty years; and
Whereas, in 1995, Reverend and Mrs. Thompson were spiritual pioneers in establishing the New Beginnings Baptist Church and ministering to hundreds with the hope of new beginnings through faith; and
Whereas, with concern for the physical needs of those in their community, the Thompsons also founded the Lighthouse Shelter in 1995 to house the homeless and feed the hungry; and
Whereas, they established God's Kitchen in 1998 through which they feed the hungry and deliver meals to shut-ins and groceries to families in need; and
Whereas, in 2004, Reverend and Mrs. Thompson launched The Lighthouse Thrift Store which has enabled them to distribute clothes and other necessities to those who need help; and
Whereas, they have devoted themselves to assisting those in need, serving them with a keen understanding of how to fill those needs with compassion and caring; and
Whereas, realizing the deep truth, "God setteth the solitary in families," Reverend and Mrs. Thompson have sought to provide a safe home environment and sense of family for those less fortunate; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the consistent and generous charity of Reverend Sam and Annie Thompson as they have ministered through teaching, counseling, friendship, and sharing to so many in the Clover community. Now, therefore,
