A team of our brothers and sisters in Christ - junior high students and adult leaders - are in New Orleans, Louisiana, for the purpose of participating in the Katrina relief effort, as part of Youth Conference Ministries. Here is a report from Midland's 2009 Son Servants Mission Team, courtesy of the FPC-Midland Youth blog, Postcards From the Edge. New Orleans … Day 2
Greetings Blogosphere … Today was our second day of work. A lot of groups switched up their jobs and it sounded like everyone had a great day! We had some really special encounters with some New Orleans residents: a man named Cliff who carried his siblings on his back in water up to his chin to get out of the Lower 9th Ward…Pastor Washington whose church was destroyed and he started rebuilding it himself at the age of 78!, and even a UPS lady who was incredibly touched by the fact that a bunch of kids would come spend a week rebuilding the city. Enjoy this evening’s installments from the kids. They’re well worth the read! PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AT THE BOTTOM AS WE LOVE READING THEM TO THE KIDS IN THE EVENINGS!
