On the Road Again
Here we go again.
Last October 11 of us mixed up Methodists worked on Mr. Silas Dillon's home in New Orleans.
To date, Silas continues to live in his FEMA trailer.
Jake, the Westbank Recovery Center, Coordinator told me that his facility is booked up during the next three months.
Silas only needs to have his kitchen and bath cabinets installed.
Ah ha, I know a cabinet maker, his name is Bud................Bud Hill and I know a carpenter, his name is Ron Crowley.............both self-employed, which means they can set their own schedules, of course with their wives permission.
Jake, says, he can provide the beds until June 1, then he is full.
It took several months to come up with the money to purchase the cabinets for Silas' home.
Steve Hoskins is self-employed, I'm self-employed, I got a big red truck and Chapel Hill UMC just purchased a big trailer for use by the Henderson County, Ky. UMC, Disaster Recovery and Mission Teams.
Jake says, I'll call you when the cabinets are ordered.
The 4 of us, Bud, Ron, Steve and I will leave for New Orleans tomorrow, (Monday, 05/21/2007), arrive in New Orleans late that afternoon and hopefully(prayerfully) be able to install the cabinets in his kitchen and baths by Friday.
After watching several documentaries on New Orleans, it still hurts your heart to see all the suffering people, but they are survivors who continue to have hope that help will come.
Well, we are doing a small part to help out. We have to eat that elephant, one bite at a time.
Lord, God we thank you for your mercy and grace that has been shown in New Orleans and all along the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast. Continue to bring volunteers to these areas to help your people, in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Keep watching this blog! We will update you daily, if possible. Also, we plan more mission trips in October/November and again in January/February 2008.
