Teams from Florida and Viriginia are in the state!
We thank God and acknowledge the work of relief teams from Largo, FL and Pulaski, VA who are working in St. Bernard parish this week.
The team from Largo, FL is led by Pastor Anthony McDaniel and they have been working to with Pastor Rick Hager to clean out and gut the Amazing Grace church in Arabi. We were by there today and they have done a tremendous amount of work in just one day. Their plans include removal of the present flooring structure and cleanup of all existing furniture and carpet. A number of appliances and office furniture had to be removed as well. Another team from Alabama will be at Amazing Grace in two weeks to complete the work that is not finished by this team.
The team from Pulaski, VA is headed by Pastor Jerry Collins and they are working with Pastor Terry Hammett to remove everything from the parsonage at Cornerstone. This house will be completely gutted and then decisions regarding our future plans will be determined. The homes in this neighborhood were flooded and most are not inhabitable.
Additional teams arrive from Pennsylvania next week. All our teams are being housed at the Manantial de Vida church in Metairie where Ernie and Gayle Maynard are serving as hosts and cooking their meals.
Thank God for all that is being done to help our churches who are in need. What a great family the Church of God is!
