Change Is A Good Thing

Okay, I know, It's been a while since I last left a post. In my defense a lot has been going on and now that the dust has settled, I can tell you about it. I'll pass over all the boring details and get to the point. In an effort to help the city of New Orleans and the surrounding area recover from hurricane Katrina, the North American Mission Board has begun Operation N.O.A.H. Rebuild. N.O.A.H. stands for New Orleans Area Hope and its mission is to rebuild 1000 homes and 20 churches in the New Orleans Area over the next two years. This God-sized project is headed by local leadership and will utilize 50,000 volunteers. Part of the local leadership includes yours truly. I have taken a temporary assignment for the next two years to be the base camp manager for Operation N.O.A.H. Rebuild. The base camp is located at the New Orleans World Trade Center at the end of Canal Street and will house and feed up to 500 volunteers at a time. This is an exciting time for Christians in our city as we have the opportunity to break through barriers that were torn down by the storm. Not only will we be rebuilding homes, we will be building the Kingdom of God through lives changed forever by the grace of Christ.
