| Details: |
It has been over 2 years since
Hurricane Katrina forced people from their homes and churches in New Orleans
and along the Gulf Coast. Although they have been rebuilding and
recovering, some parts of the area still remain in shambles.
We have the opportunity to serve in different areas throughout the city by
helping with housing, literacy, arts & culture, health and wellness, and
wealth and poverty. Imagine what 36,000 young people and adults can do
together for the sake of long term Gulf Coast recovery. This is more
than a service project. It is learning how Jesus calls us to service
as a way of life.
