These volunteers have continued to come and minister to the people on the Gulf Coast since Katrina. This was their second visit to P.O.P. We were happy to meet the new folks and also Pastor Ricky who was able to come for a couple of days.
Don’t be fooled by the pictures!! Yes, we enjoyed a lot of food, fun and fellowship while serving our Lord together but this team blessed a lot of families with a lot of hard work this week including our own.
One of our major projects has been the ongoing ministry we have with the Butler family. The team of volunteers helped him by installing siding to his home as well as completing the framing, caulking and painting of his interior windows. Some of his baseboards were also cut and installed. This work has helped the family get closer to their “move in” date of February 16th. They are ever so grateful for the sacrifice this group made with their talents, time, care and concern shown to them while they were here this week.
This group also worked on Woody‘s home, a man to whom God led us in January of last year when we framed his home with a team from VA. Since that time Woody has also been blessed to receive lots of help completing his beautiful home. This team caulked the siding and windows of the exterior of the home. They also spray painted the home it’s beautiful green color! Woody is also very appreciative of all of the hard work and sacrifice. He will also be able to move into his new home soon!
Another couple God has us ministering to since the storm are our neighbors on the lake, Brian and Jan. Their home had extensive damage from the flood surge but still had it’s basic structure remaining. This team was able to help them by installing railing around their porch missing since the storm. In a storage room under the house they installed a very large storage shelf and another shelf beneath it Brian calls his “workbench”. The couple are always amazed that people would do so much for them and they too have seen the love of Jesus pour through the hearts of the volunteers.
Our camp facility was once again blessed by the work of this team. Last year they installed porcelain tile in our kitchen / dining area which has been an unbelievable blessing to us and all who have come since. This time they painted our two restrooms and one of the bunk rooms. WOW! It brightened up the areas and gave it a fresh, clean look that is able to be wiped down and cleaned and also added an air of cheeriness to the spaces. P.O.P. is so thankful for this work!!
Last but not least, we have been so, so honored this week to have the same wonderful father and son team who worked on our camp floor to install ceramic tile in our tub area and shower stall. They also completed Monica’s tub surround and step. Words cannot express our gratitude for all of the outpouring of love, sacrifice and care this group of people have shown to our family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you.
