October Overview

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006 | General, Hurricane Katrina

If you have not been to the gulf coast, and even if you have, you can not imagine how much clean-up and rebuilding remains. Check out Jamie’s blog as she highlights some of the work accomplished in the past 31 days and asks, “Where did October go?”

I wish I had time to blog about every team and every project. God continues to flood us with His overwhelming mercy and grace through the sweat and tireless efforts of so many folks.

Over 30 different groups worked with us in October alone. I thank God for the great people last month who came from Immanuel Baptist Church - Louisville, Ky, Mt. Harmony - Riceville, TN, First Baptist Church - Tullahoma, TN, Midway Baptist Church - Meridian, MS, Highlands Fellowship - Abingdon, VA, Sixth Street Baptist - Alexander City, AL, Oleander United Methodist - Arab, AL, Tammy’s team from KY, Trinity Baptist Church - Baton Rouge LA, Kyle Jefferies and his group, AL, Hillsboro Baptist Church – Hillsboro, MS, Grace Bible - Southern NJ, Hagood Baptist - Barnwell, SC, Lineville Baptist Church - Lineville, AL, Heritage Hills Baptist Church - Douglasville, GA, Oakhurst Baptist Church - Clarksdale, MS, Providence Presbyterian Church - Hilton Head, SC, University of Mississippi – Oxford, MS, Sierra First Baptist Church - Alta, CA, Harvest Community Church - Charlotte, NC, Schriever Baptist Church - Schriever, LA, Northgate Baptist Church- Beckley, WV, New Beginning Family Worship Center - Northport, AL, Grace Bible Church - Canton, GA, New Life Church of Baton Rouge LA, Lima Baptist Temple - Lima, OH, Heritage Fellowship - TN, First Baptist of Natchitoches - Natchitoches, LA, First Baptist Church - Altamont, KS, Jeff Gardner, MI, First Baptist Benton – Benton, AR, Reunion Church - Chicago, IL, and I probably overlooked a few.

With most of these groups working on multiple projects, you can see why I have a hard time keeping up. Someone might feel the temptation to think that with all these folks that we have all the help we need. Nothing could be further from the truth. Come play your part in an overwhelming ministry of hope. Call us at (228) 469-0110 to plan your mission trip to Lakeshore.
