Work Team Updates

It is Saturday. The team from East White Oak Bible Church in Carlock, IL left yesterday. They were a great help to us and to Fellowship Bible Church in Metairie. One fun thing they did was to keep a online journal of their trip. You can check it out here.

The team from SAYSF Bible Church in Lexington Park, MD has been here all week. Part of their team left this morning and the rest will leave tomorrow. They have worked on a number of homes as well as finishing the roofing of our front building.

The Cedarville University team has been working at Ben Franklin High School for the past two days. Today is their last day. You would not believe how much work they have gotten done! The faculty and parents who have dropped by the school over the past couple of days have been astounded by how hard the students have worked and how much progress has been made. If you know me (Doug), then you know that one of my deepest passions is for the church to be involved in the community. We are doing it folks! Hopefully there will be an article in the Times-Picayune tomorrow on this project. How cool is that? Also, Cedarville has a diaster relief page on their site. They have been posting photos of the group working at Franklin. Also, a student named Evan posted his photo album from the trip here.

Finally, the group from New Hope Community Church in New Hope, PA arrived last night. Great drive...dinner at Bennigan's. Today is their first work day.

I'll keep you posted on the happenings here in the Crescent City!
