Christians in "The Pass": A Mid-Week Report.

Our teams have really been working hard this week. One of the problems with the blog updates has been that we have been so busy working, it has been hard to set aside time to write them up and post them in between the work, driving to the sites, team meetings, meal prep/clean up, and shower time in the "Chicken Coop" (an outdoor set up with 3 showers where most of the guys go to get cleaned up after a day in the field).

A quick summary, though, might give you an idea of what has been going on since the last update:

• Several teams worked together to get drywall almost completely hung at the home of George Hicks, who lives in the Oak Park area of Pass Christian;
• Team 3 repaired an interior ceiling with drywall at a trailer owned by Miss Simone, not too far from Bible Fellowship Church;
• Brent Crabtree's team has done a lot of work in several different trades (including plumbing and electrical) at the home of Donna Flynn (NOTE: please be praying for Donna today at 11:00 a.m. CST (10:00 a.m. EST) as she is scheduled for a mediation with her insurance company concerning their payout on her policy);
• Bill Law, Dave Hollenbeck, Lowell Mininger, Preston Stover, Dave Wingerd, and Preston Stover all did a ton of work together (including painting, plumbing, electrical and the like) at the home of Eric Ladner;
• Tom Cowles' team also did a wide variety of work at the home of the Kimballs, a BFC church family.

Today should be interesting day. Please be praying for our work to go smoothly, quickly, and well. Most of the teams still have a "wish list" of items they would like to complete for their clients, but there is only a limited amount of time left in which to get those things done. We will do the best we can to lay a foundation for the next group to come in behind us and keep carrying the baton forward toward a rebuilt Pass Christian.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support, and thanks for reading.
