Well, we're going back... (I suspect we'll keep going back until we're asked not to return.) This is year 3 and things are a little different this time around. Trinity Methodist Church in Gulfport is no longer housing, feeding and co-ordinating volunteers so we've found a church in Van Cleave, Mississippi to house and feed us. We'll be about 30 miles from where we were last year. Believe it or not, there are still houses in the area that have not been touched and need complete gutting! This is over 2 1/2 years after Katrina... So we may be doing some gutting. Certainly we'll be doing drywall and painting, maybe insulation. We've gotten pretty good at these trades.
We fly this Saturday 1/26. This church doesn't allow the volunteers to work on the Sabbath, so Sunday many of us will probably go to New Orleans to see the sights and of course to save some souls on Bourbon Street!
More to follow from Mississippi on Saturday night...
I'm going to try a video upload/link. Never did this on a blog. This is the short video I made after last year's trip to show in church the Sunday after we returned. i hope you enjoy it...

Hi all,
OK, Dan, I managed to find the BLOG!..........were thinking about you this week.
We hope you are having a wonderful time and that God is working in and through you as you give of yourselves this week. What an awesome blessing to you and those you are there to serve.
Can't wait to hear all about it when you get home.
With much love,

Hi everybody, Things are going great down here, It's a lot of hard work, but when you see the smiles on the face of the home owners, you know you are doing the right thing.
We all are blessed to have great leaders like Dan and Rev.Tom to help to keep us on track.
I know for myself since i have been with c.c.a.o.p. I have become a better person, and i thank Dan and Tom for it.We'll be home in a few days, see you then.
