The Texas Mission Team Gets Busy

On Monday, our Ohio-to-Texas Moravian Mission Team set out to accomplish some projects in Port Arthur, a city on the Gulf Coast still getting back on its feet following Hurricane Harvey which devastated the region in August 2017. Pastor Darrell said, "Think about it. Some of these places, these homes, these properties have been waiting for attention for almost a whole year." Many home owners have been displaced all this time, including Shari, the person for whom our team is doing work this week. As with all the structures in the neighborhood, Shari's house was inundated with 5 feet of water during the treacherous storm. It has had to be gutted and rebuilt almost from scratch!

Today, our team continued the work of previous volunteers. They worked indoors painting and installing a range hood in the kitchen.

And they worked outdoors to tame the overgrown jungle of a yard.

They made a lot of progress! Imagine how overjoyed Shari will be when she finally gets to return to her home! This is LOVE--the Jesus kind--in action.


Thanks to Hannah, McKenna, Michele and Pastor Darrell for supplying today's photos.
