Our eighth team of volunteers is back from Pearlington, Mississippi, where they served victims of
Hurricane Katrina. In 2005, their homes were destroyed or severely damaged by the storm and
water surge from the gulf. This website follows their activities from day to day on the beginning
on Monday, March 23. Use the date links on the right for a day by day account.
Just about anyone who has gone on a hurricane relief mission trip comes back with stories and
experiences they are compelled to tell. Often they were ears for the hurricane victims who are still
processing their harrowing experiences, losses and grief to promote healing.
Interaction with the people of Pearlington is part of the magic of these trips. The volunteers will be
working to replace trailers and temporary housing with permanent homes for families in
Pearlington. We are greeted with open arms by families who have so patiently dreamed of
returning to a normal life. While in the Gulf, we hammer, roof, wire, drywall, clean paint, install and
do other work to repair the damage. We will also get to know the families and share meals
Christian love, devotions and worship.
