Our week-long youth service project ended hopefully today
WE FULFILLED OUR PART. We realize that lots of people have worked on this house before us. Many more will follow before work on it is completed. One plants, another waters... The family lives on the second floor, which has been restored, while the first floor, the level most badly damaged, has yet to be rehabilitated. Natasha's mother, who used to live there, will return once the first floor is restored.
I RECOMEND THIS CHURCH ORGANIZATION. Our work and hospitality this week was coordinated by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Disaster Relief ministry in cooperation with the Disaster Relief office of the United Church of Christ. This is the second work group from West Morris Street Free Methodist Church to do Katrina rebuilding work in the Gulf area with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). We have found their efforts well-planned and coordinated. We worked well with their site supervisor, mission director, and team coordinator. We would recommend other groups working with them in the future--there is plenty of rebuilding work still needed in and around New Orleans for years to come!
HEADING HOME. We start for Indianapolis and home early on Saturday morning. It will be an all-day drive, but we're anxious to be with our families again. We're also looking forward to sharing about our experience of service and the "Mission Trip Top Ten" in Morning Worship on Sunday. Thanks to all who supported us with prayer and financial support. God bless you as you stood with us in our mission of service.
