Katrina damage

Just returned from a one week trip to St. Bernard Perish, Louisiana, to help repair homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. It is hard to believe that there is still so much to do when it happened over two years ago.

Most relief agencies have pulled out and FEMA has closed their temporary housing. Many are still living in FEMA trailers on their own property. Hopefully the work we did on 5 or 6 homes will make a difference in their lives. I know it made a difference in our lives. Sixteen of us traveled from Oregon to do what we could to help. There was also a group from Maryland that was doing the same.

Continue to pray for the people there and help if you can through your church or other organizations.
