Hurricane Clean-up Mission Trip Jan 14-15

Due to bad weather, our team did not go to Louisiana on Dec 18. We have rescheduled our next team missionary trip for Fri- Sat, Jan 14 - 15, 2022.

Here's what you need to know:

As you know, Hurricane Ida hit the gulf coast of Louisiana on 29 August 2021 and caused a lot of damage that is STILL being cleaned up to this day. With this series of missions, we're going to offer the survivors some hope and a little help by either cleaning up some of the mess or perhaps even putting a tarp on a damaged roof.

Here's how it usually goes:

First, we drive over there --- thus far it's been about 300 miles each way.

When we get there, we talk to them a bit to hear a story or two.

And then we get to work on a project for the rest of the afternoon.

They graciously provide us dinner and perhaps several deserts as well.

The next morning after breakfast, we either finish what we started the day before or perhaps we'll have another project altogether.

They also feed us lunch before we depart.

And then we drive home Saturday afternoon.

We will be doing outside work like cleaning up tree debris and /or putting a tarp on a roof; basically, whatever they need.

When: Friday - Saturday, January 14 - 15, 2022

Rough Schedule:

Depart Crestview: 6am Friday

Arrive _____ UMC: noon Friday

First shift: 1-6pm Friday

Second shift: 8am-1pm Saturday

Depart _____ UMC: 2pm Saturday

Arrive Crestview: 8pm Saturday

We'll be operating out of a designated UMC and staying there overnight, we need to bring along our own air mattresses and bedding (sleeping bags) and they will be providing a us some floor space, restrooms, and showers and a few meals to boot.

If you want to know how the first two trips went, then definitely ask Pastor Ronnie, Carson Hale, Jody Woodward, and/or David Hill about their experience.

Please consider making this trip with us ... or ... perhaps the next one: we're looking at either 4-5 Feb or maybe later in the month.

Please forward this on to anyone that you think might be interested in helping out. Thanks!

In Christ We Serve,
