Tuesday August 5th
Everyone had the same assignments today. The majority going to the house that is being built for the 2nd time. Destroyed by Katrina first and then a fire caused by a lightning strike. This family is determined !! Painting, roofing and siding were the tasks at hand and as we know many hands do make short work. Especially impressive today was the determination and teamwork of our youth group!! Talk about on the job training.
Fran and Tom went to a house that was totally destroyed by Katrina The owner is rebuilding and has hit a snag with the plumbing. The yard is covered with thick, sticky mud. You know the kind that pulls your shoes off. The water line from Katrina is 40 feet high on the trees. The original house actually floated away and landed in the trees. Donna lost everything and it has spent the last three years trying to get her life back on track.
The NPC community here at The Bay are truly living the passage from James 2:
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
It is by example that God's love will truly shine through. Please continue to pray for the team and all of the families here. We thank you for all of your support.
