| Rebuilding one house can make a
difference! That one house repaired helps a family move back into their
HOME.
Many families show they are thankful that their home has been
repaired by telling everyone "Thank you" a number of times. Other
families have asked specifically about their volunteer teams, and for their
church addresses, so that they can write to them telling the teams how much it
means to them that they are living in their own home again.
At Rita Recovery, we were blessed with a note from one of the
homeowner's whose home was repaired. The homeowner wrote to Rita Recovery:
I want to "Thank you" so much for my
new roof. They put it on Friday and it rained Saturday and Sunday.
It was really good, hard showers - and I didn't have a leak. I think God
was just giving it his own blessing and baptized it.

MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED (for Edwina's Home)!
To the
Mission Team all those who heard of a need, “adopted” our Mother, and
volunteered to assist in the restoration of her home after Hurricane
Rita destroyed it:
After
losing her home and most of its contents and memorabilia, the Lord
called her husband, our precious step-father, home to Heaven.
At a time
of such loss and such a feeling of helplessness on our part, you gave
our Mother (and those who love her) hope and a will to keep going as God
intended.
“Thank
you” does not begin to describe the gratitude and thankfulness we all
feel. We appreciate the time you spent working and thank your families
for their patience in your diligence to help our Mother.
Mother
says there are no words to describe how she feels except to say this:
“Everyday
we will lift up in prayer each of you, Pastor Rick, and the whole
Woodcrest congregation for your love and selfless service to God. We
pray for special blessings for each of you, your home and household, in
the precious Name of Jesus.”
