I am leaving today for Bay St. Louis Mississippi. I will be part of a mass relief effort for the city of Bay St. Louis. This city was nearly destroyed by hurricane Katrina over two years ago. From Saturday December 29th until Saturday January 5th over 1,000 volunteers will come together to impact this community.
The goal is to build 7 new homes and do remodeling projects on 150 other homes. This will be the Extreme Home Makeover “Christian Edition”.
I am so excited to be a part of this relief effort. Most people have forgotten about the gulf coast and the ongoing work that needs to be done. This will be my third trip to the gulf coast and each time has been such a blessing. To see the faces of the people we help and to know that we made a difference in their lives in amazing.
There will be 15 people from NewPointe Community Church participating on this trip. I look forward to reporting on how things are going in future blogs. You can be a part of this trip by praying for the team and Eight Days of Hope. Some things to pray about would be safe travel for the volunteers, enough supplies and materials, funds to feed all the volunteers and lives to impacted for Christ.
