When I returned to NOLA from my training session in MN, I was greeted on Sunday night by 32 pink shirts! Yes pictured right is Sandstone EFC from Sandstone MN. They served with us last year and could not wait to serve again. For most this trip truly impacted their life. On Thursday nights we hold a sharing time and there was story after story of God transforming their hearts to see just how much He is at work and how much He loves the people of New Orleans.
Pictured Left:
This is Ms. Linda. She lives in the upper 9th ward and like most homeowners in this area, her home was completely flooded by the storm. Since the storm she has been able to restore the interior but the exterior of her home has been another constant reminder of that horrible day 6.5 years ago. We will be working with Ms. Linda, showing her the love of Christ, through meeting this physical need. We are blessed to have this opportunity to extend Christ's love to Ms. Linda and her family.
Pictured Right: Meet Cassie!
This is my girl Cassie. She is working on Ms. Valerie's home (across the street from my house) and this was her very first mission trip. Her proximity to my house/office allowed us to hang out quite a bit. I really enjoyed getting to know Cassie and hear how God showed her the importance of family through her mission trip to NOLA. Check out the video on facebook to hear from Cassie herself about what God taught her.
Praise God for using a storm more than 6 years ago to transform people's hearts! God be praised!!
