If you have read this blog for any amount of time, you know that our student ministry has invested much in the last three years in Mississippi following hurricane Katrina.
Honestly, we've loved getting to know the people and watching lives changed as we help them put their homes together and share Jesus with them. Not only is there "sweat equity" in the area of Bay St Louis, but meaningful relationships have been built.
After three years, the number of families still living in FEMA trailers and still trying to get their lives together is great. One family we have worked with specifically on the last three trips is scheduled to move into their house in October. For many that were abandoned by the insurance companies, this is a harsh reality. (For this particular family of 5, two adults and three teenagers live in a 20 ft. trailer.)
Our lives have been changed in a huge way as well. God has taught us alot about serving and loving people there.
Pray for the people of the Gulf Coast.
