MISSissippi


Spring Break is a pretty exciting time for revolution. For the last three years we've taken a mission trip on spring break to come to Mississippi to help rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

We left Miami last Friday at 5am and arrived before dark here in Bay St. Louis. We dove in head first yesterday and got a good days work in on 3 different homes. With a team of 62 people, we have 5 solid teams that can get much accomplished in this area.

Two of our teams are back on a house that we began last July. We put on a roof, hung drywall and did yard work last time. This time around we are finishing drywall and painting, plumbing, etc. We are excited to be back with Billy and Dixie and their three teenagers.

Our other three teams are at multiple homes doing drywall, yardwork and various construction. We worship on the beach each night after work, it's a short one block walk to the water. (it was two blocks before the hurricane) It's a pretty cool time of sharing and getting quiet.

Pray for our team this week!
