We're Home!
We're Home!We arrived in the Twin Cities at 9pm last night, we're so relieved to be home after a 2-day, 22 hour drive.
In our short stay in Mississippi, we accomplished and assisted with the following -
- Supporting the Lakeshore Baptist Store, keeping the shelves stocked with food and supplies, the blankets and clothes folded.
- Digging a large trench to insert wiring and pipes to provide more advanced electricity and plumbing needs to the sanctuary.
- Staining and painting the floor of a small home
- Purchasing a washer/dryer to a family in need
- Picking up debri on the grounds around the church
- Sorting and folding clothes for women and men by season in the supply warehouse.
- Helping to build roof support beams for the two trailers.
This trip was and will continue to be an incredible blessing for all who went. We learned so much in such a short amount of time. In the following days to come, be prepared to see many more stories and pictures provided by more of the people who went on the trip.

I never could have imagined how difficult this trip would be emotionally. It is hard to get a glimpse of such devastation and suffering. Yet Pastor Don Elbourne kept directing us to the cross. Our Savior suffered. He was "a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering." Yet, He is in control. And Pastor Don said (on our last Sunday) that after 6 months, "Would I choose to go through this tragedy again? I think, yes, because of the impact on the community and the strength of the Cross, the awareness of God's presence, and God's glory." Praise God!
