A Picture is Worth More Than Words
























This is just a glimpse of what this past week was like... The 44 Relief Workers from all over the country moved mountains of trash. We worked at 24 different sites and were able to complete all but two of them. One still has a bathroom to be gutted and dear Marie has to be helped to sift through her belonging before we can get to the home structure needs.

Mercy Response Outreach has made a huge connection with the city of Galveston this week. If it were not for my home church out reach of OAKS this connection may not have knitted us together in the same way. God certainly had his plan and is remaining to work in us and many other churches and organizations.

I remain thankful for the call that He has placed on me to be able to come along side the less fortunate and lift them up in hope of a better day!

I am thankful for the team from my home church to have made the trip and to close the gap that is is my heart. I miss my family so when church family comes it is such a huge blessing to feel the closeness.

Thank you to the other teams from IN, CO, SD, NY, and FL you are now all family as well... Be Blessed in all that is ahead of you and know that you are in our prayers.
