Down in Mississippi and Up to Good!



Tomorrow night at 9 - we board a bus along with 30 excited youth for an 18 hour drive to Gulfport Mississippi. Its hard to believe that even though the Hurricane Katrina disaster is so far away and removed from most of our thoughts - down there it is a constant reminder daily. Countless people are still holding out hope - hope for a return to a normal life and hope for a return to a home and not a FEMA trailer. Our mission is to work along with Hope Crisis Response Network in order to help build homes for those who are still displaced from theirs. I like to say we are building up Homes full of HOPE. Hope that can only be found in and through Jesus!

We eagerly accept this task and are so full of wonder for what God will have in store for us next week. Prayers? You bet we will take them! Keep them coming.

See you all in a week =)
