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. Some Final Reflections from New Orleans …
The Mission Trip was inspiring in so many ways I can’t even list them all. Being there and experiencing a little part of what the New Orleans citizens had to go through was just amazing. I have had so many fun memories while meeting new people from different places. This week I chopped weeds, ripped out floor boards, and scraped paint off and old house than needed to be re-painted. Doing this work for these people gave me a sense of accomplishment. Everyone was extremely nice and so thankful for what we had come to do. Every person in New Orleans had so much hope for the future. It’s amazing how they can have an enormous amount of hope after Hurricane Katrina.
