airboat rides

an email that some of you upcoming groups might want to read if you are looking for something fun to do while you are here:

Hi Doug!

Our church, Highlands Community Church, up here in Renton, WA was down there doing some relief work through your church this spring. Pastor Derek Nelson, Weston Foucher and crew had a blast working with you. I’d like to pass on some information if I may. Apparently the airboat tour that our group took after the work was over has been quite a hit among other groups looking to come to your area for Mission Trips. I just spoke to Harold Busch from Texas about his group going out there next week. Harold called to ask about who we used. Can I just pass on the information to you so you can have that information and save them a call? You can use this for future groups as well.

We checked out a couple of different tour companies via the internet. The one we settled on was Airboat Adventures, LLC. Their phone # is 1-888-GO-SWAMP (1-888-467-9267) and their website address is www.airboatadventures.com. They give group discounts.

Thanks for all the work you’re doing down there. I can only imagine the huge effort all the coordination requires! Have an awesome summer!

Blessings,

Gretchen Bryant

So Tulsa was here the week of June 2nd. And what a week it was! It was a great way to kick off the summer. Fellowship Bible Church from Tulsa made their 8th trip down. That’s no typo I did indeed say 8th trip. This church comes to New Orleans 3 times a year to serve. And every time they are here they impact someone in one way or another. May it be a homeowner, someone in the French Quarter or a member of Berean, they come down to love on the people of New Orleans and share the Word of God.

With Doug being out of town it was left up to Lawrence, Melissa and myself to man the home front. The week started out with an injury, but after that it was a smooth as butter. In preparing for the week and taking with the Tulsa leaders, Coy and Susan, they communicated with me they were feeling lead to work with the Fischer Community. So they worked at Fischer Elementary School during the day, and in the evening they hosted a sports club.
