Monday In Mississippi




Our day started with a sumptous breakfast of oatmeal, sweet rolls, fruit, orange juice and lots of coffee.











We spent most of the day assessing five homes and what needed to be done and what was a priority. We were able to meet most of the homeowners. These people were all very thankful for all the volunteers down here.





This afternoon we drove down to the coast for a view of the worst devastation. I can tell you Mississippi needs us just as New Orleans does. There are some areas that appear untouched.



First Presbyterian Church- on the coast

This afternoon we had our first meeting of all the volunteers at Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA). We are about 100 strong now. The camp here is continuing to expand and improve the facilities for the volunteers. Hot showers! The camp plans on being operational for three to five years. Yes years! You just can't believe how much work there is to be done.


We are blessed that so many people are assisting with the relief efforts here. Please continue to pray for these people.
