New Orleans...the task ahead!

Kathy and I spent the day in New Orleans yesterday. The scenes still move me. We were able to get into the former Cornerstone church. It was my first time. The building is completely destroyed.

Due to some security issues, we were unable to reach Amazing Grace. The area around the church was secured by National Guard and they would not allow me in. We hope to see it later.

We are still attempting to arrange a building for a Command Center. Each time we get close to a deal, something happens to put the building out of reach. We ask that you continue to pray with us about this. There is a place and we must find it.

Tomorrow we go to Lake Charles to see the team from South Carolina who are working to repair the church at Le Bleu. Also we hope to see the parsonage at Living Waters.

The strategic plan for New Orleans is taking shape. The State Council meeting on November 11th will be an important step. We will need to forge a direction which identifies our possibilities and enables our efforts to be a "force" in the city!

Be encouraged!
Bishop Bill
