Nearing the three year anniversary of our nation's costliest hurricane, the buzz around Katrina relief efforts has faded to a ho-hum. None-the-less, workers based out of Trinity Church in Covington, LA swarm the New Orleans area rebuilding and revitalizing communities. Though the spotlight has shifted to cyclone relief in Myanmar and earthquake relief in China, volunteers from around the country continually unite to serve the needs in Louisiana. Media attention is gone, but the same kind of needs that existed days after the storm exist today. Keystone Senior High will partner with the EFCA organization TouchGlobal June 15th-22nd to aid in further relief efforts.
Please pray for our group as we will begin our 1800 mile journey June 14th. Please pray for the preparations of our team members' hearts in the days before we leave. Though opportunities to let our good works shine will be everywhere, the week will bring long hours, intense heat, unpleasant humidity, and tireless, dirty work. The conditions are excellent for growing anger, impatience, despair, and disagreement. Pray we will store up good in our hearts so when we are squeezed, the good might overflow and bring praise to our Father in heaven.
