Operation Noah Rebuild

Operation Noah Rebuild is a three-year partnership project (through August 2009) between New Orleans churches and associations, the Louisiana Baptist Convention, and the North American Mission Board to help New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Volunteers are needed to rebuild homes; start, restart, or strengthen churches; and reach people with the good news of Jesus Christ. ---There is so much to do here. We helped an 82 year old widow finally get back into her house after spending 3 years in a fema trailer. That's just a drop in the bucket. NOAH has a smooth operation, and we pray that other churches and states will get involved. We were moved by the young people that came from Virginia on their Spring Break to hang drywall. Awesome! They didn't play. They worked hard. We had hope for the city as a neat little house newly renovated with a pristine yard was surrounded by homes that should be demolished. They have picked up to carry on. Why care? Why try anymore?---Maybe the little bit that we and others have done have instilled a little bit of hope. Pray for this city. Go as God leads. Oh yeah, we'll be back.
