We have several teams here for winter break weeks!  They come from as far west as Hawaii to all the way to the east coast! (Thanks Terah!)  Please pray for these teams as they continue to serve homeowners like Mr. Lionel, Mr. John, Brother Larry, and Mrs. Mary.  Please pray that God will use each volunteer to show His love to those in need and that each volunteer will experience God in a new way this week that will draw them closer to Him!

Happy New Year from Katie Hooks (and in 33 days it'll be Katie Manning!! yay!!)
