Off & Running

by Alex Geurin | March 1, 2021 10:30 AM

The team made it safely to Camp Pearl last night where we will be lodging! It was a late night and a long drive but we know this week will be worth it. We're off and running now working at three different work sites! Please pray for energy today!


Ministry Day 1 Complete!

by Alex Geurin | March 1, 2021 9:29 PM

This week, our team is in four groups, where three are doing house projects (mucking, gutting, roofing) through Operation Hope, and one is doing much needed trail clearing work at Camp Pearl. In the afternoon, one of the groups will travel around the community for grocery box distribution through Christian Baptist Church. Pictured is Mrs. Ake's group preparing boxes this morning. 

Our team's energy was incredible, and we have already gotten so much done! We've had powerful interactions in the community and are super expectant for what's ahead the rest of the week.

Teamwork is Key!

One of the best things about work projects is being able to work alongside the group! The conversations and bonding time here is priceless.

Serving the Community

Each day we have a list of homes given to us by a Christian Baptist Church member, so we get to represent the church by visiting people in the community and bringing a grocery box!

Back Together Again!

by Alex Geurin | March 2, 2021 9:13 PM

After a long day of working at our respective sites, we get to come together in the evenings for dinner, and then later we have a time of corporate worship, seek God together, and someone leads a devotion. Night one we heard a powerful testimony from Mrs. Peters, and tonight Thomas gave a convicting word.

Lafayette Rec Day!

by Alex Geurin | March 7, 2021 1:59 PM

This is in front of St. John’s Cathedral in Lafayette, Louisiana. On Friday, We enjoyed a fun day on a guided Cajun tour, where we ate Boudin, Poboy’s, and Gumbo. We visited historic Vermilionville, had a dance lesson, and went on a swamp tour and saw many alligators! It was a great day learning about Louisiana culture.
