September and beyond

We are in the midst of some transitions concerning our Hurricane Relief Ministry. As many of you know, we are in this for the long haul. We are drawing up plans that will allow us to continue this ministry for the next 2-5 years. As long as teams are willing to come down and help, we are willing to house them and help them find work.

With that being said, we would love to fill up our Fall calendar with teams. We currently have lots of openings. One minor change is that we are now asking teams to come "between the Sundays." As many of you know, our back building has been used exclusively for Hurricane relief since the storm. Starting on Sunday, September 10, we will be using the back building for ministry on Sundays. That means that teams should be arriving on Mondays and leaving in Fridays or Saturdays.

That is the tenative plan until we can find a long-term solution for housing. We are in the process of taking bids from contractors to add additional space to our facility that will be used just for housing work teams. Please pray with us as we seek God's will on this matter. If you feel God's leading to help us on this project, please contact us.

Please keep New Orleans in your prayers. As I'm sure you are aware, the anniversary of Katrina is next week. We will be having a special service for prayer, remembrance and sharing this Sunday morning.
