Disaster Recovery

   

REALLY?!?!

   

We are beginning our 5th year of disaster recovery efforts.  How can it be?  Really?!  In some ways, it’s seems like only yesterday since Hurricane Rita hit.  In many ways, though, it feels like a very long time! We’ve endured direct hits from Hurricanes Humberto and Ike and close calls from several others in the last 4 years.  As 2009 ends, we celebrate no hurricane this year!!!

 

As we begin 2010, we want to give thanks for the hundreds of volunteers that have come to Southeast Texas to assist with recovery efforts as a result of Hurricane Ike.  As of December 31, 127 homes have been completed. We continue to repair damaged homes and we celebrate each home that can be checked off the list.

We are beginning 2010 with great news.  We have volunteer teams scheduled for every week beginning January 4 through March 31.  However, we still need you!  There are still many families who cannot live in their homes due to the damages sustained by Hurricane Ike.

We ask for your continued prayers for the staff, volunteers and the families who are waiting to receive assistance.  May 2010 be another year without a hurricane and a year that finds more homeowners back in their homes.

To God Be The Glory!
