Your group has manifested love through your work and encourgement.
What on earth (feel the humor here) would possess Teens and Leaders to spend Spring Break working?
This is what some of the group had to say:
Catie Moulton: To have fellowship with kids from a different environment,
Amanda Sweeney: Building strong relatinships with youth at this church and being able to have the opportunity to serve others.
Mary Webber: To come down and spend time with the kids, form a bond & friendship, and take something back to help our own community as well.
Sarah Flanders: I watched everything that happened w/Hurricane Katrina on TV at home. As I followed everthing going on down here I wished I could help out. I'm just glad to be here, helping rebuild, and doing what needs to be done to help the people live with normal houses again.
James Moody: I heard about the devastation that took place down here and felt stirred to come and help rebuild both the city and the people. I don't want to just rebuild buildings, but also I desire to touch and encourage the people living here.
Grant Wege: My hope and prayer for the Gulf Coast has been one of transformation. Much of what was destroyed needs to not only be rebuilt but also reformed. I hoped that by investing hours of work and love there may be a positive impact on the community. perhaps someone will see the love we share and also share their love.
Chris Birch: I saw other churches come to help and heard the stories about how amazing and life changing the trip was. I needed that in my life. I can see now how people have changed through this trip. I love doing construction, but also building a relationship with other churches is amazing. I will leave Gulfport with new friends. God has blessed me so.
David Cianci: I saw a presentation from students who came down last year and said to myself "I'd like to do that". So, when the opportunity arose I was excited that I could come down and help out. I especially liked the idea of doing construction/demolition/manual labor. :-)
