Back in August Jill supported me in going with a group from church down to Biloxi, MS on a missions trip for a week. We had a great group of folks -- young and old, guys and girls -- and we tackled some tough tasks for a week. I say there were tough, but they weren't -- the Lord gave us the strength to do the job we had to do and He fed us and sheltered us better than the people we were there serving.
The place we were is called Hope City and it is supported by the HCRN -- Hope Crisis Response Network. A week after we were there President Bush came down and awarded one of the volunteer leaders we served with the President's Volunteer Service Award. What a great honor!
The folks we served were all great people and I hope that they were lifted up by the Holy Spirit through our deeds and words. I added some pictures to the albums part of the site that show some of those fine folks.
