We have mentioned in past posts and in our January letter that we were hoping to do some work in New Orleans and the plans gave finally come together. There is a crisis response ministry in New Orleans that is part of Touchglobal.They host teams that come work with families still affected by hurricane Katrina by rebuilding homes and other projects.
The staff who work with this ministry in New Orleans are going to be partnering with us and our work at the Elikya Center. People interested in joining a team in the Congo will go through an application process which includes spending a week in New Orleans. The staff there will evaluate potential team members during their time in New Orleans. Sam and I along with the Larsens are going to spend April 10-24 in New Orleans getting to know the staff, their evaluation process and get a better understanding of the crisis response ministry. We are also grateful to lend a hand to their staff since they need the extra help in April.
Stay tuned for more updates and hopefully photos from New Orleans.
