Today we are going out to do about 3 houses with 10 or 12 workers. We'll be chainsawing some downed trees for a man whose house was bulldozed yesterday. Some are going to Slidell to finish demucking a house.
This trip has really opened my eyes (again) to the value of service for a Christian. Its a commodity we don't run across, or see, in our daily lives. We need it though. We need to see areas of service around us and fill those areas. I'm extremely grateful to the Tamany Oaks Church of Christ for setting up their building as a warehouse for over 1500 volunteers from all over the country to come down and serve in New Orleans and surrounding areas. I hope to come back soon, I hope to be of more use at home.
Thank you God for this opportunity!
