Getting ready to leave for New Orleans- NOLA10!

Hi all! 

We are getting ready to motor on back down to New Orleans for another week of rebuilding and sharing community and hearing stories and serving.  

This is our 10th team to New Orleans.  And it was 10 years ago the (almost to the DAY!) that we first went to the Gulf after Katrina.  

The team is 22 strong.  People from Minnesota, Ohio, and  Indiana.  Our buddy Milt from Louisiana said he wants to help us out this week, too.  We are excited to see him again.  

Pray for us for safe travel and good community.  Pray for our home owners.  We have gotten our work assignments and they look challenging and rewarding.  

As always-  if you want off this mailing list, please let me know.  (If you are one of the four people I added without asking today, - there are no hard feelings if you would rather not get these daily emails from this team- just let me know and I'll take you back off.)  

Thank you for going on this trip with us!  You are an integral part of our team and we are honored to have you.  

Rod (and team)

Are you a tool?

Christ has no body on earth but yours,

no hands but yours,

no feet but yours.

Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out;

yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good;

and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now.  

(St. Teresa of Avila)
