Come experience mission and extend Christian love
to our brothers and sisters in Texas.
Be a part of God's renewing and restoring work in the world.
THE NEED:
The Galveston and Bolivar Peninsula area of Texas is still recovering after the eye of Hurricane Ike came ashore there in September of 2008. Billions of dollars of damage occurred, and nearly 75% of buildings on Galveston Island alone were damaged.
Join our team for a week of service, deepening faith, and renewed friendships (plus a trip to the beach and other touristy activities) - it WILL change your life as you change the lives of others.
WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?
DAYS:
Rebuilding work will be coordinated and led by the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. Because work in disaster recovery is flexible, we do not have an exact idea of the work to be done. Everyone has an ability to help someone in need. PEOPLE WITH ALL DIFFERENT SKILLS AND GIFTS ARE NEEDED!
EVENINGS:
Each evening will include dinner, free time, and group time (debriefing, devotions,
and prayer).
FREE TIME
We have time at the beach and other activities planned.
