Katrina victims on Miss. Gulf Coast inspired by volunteers
PASCAGOULA, Miss. (BP)--Southern Baptists along Mississippi’s Gulf Coast say the response of Christians from around the nation has inspired them in their struggle to recover from Hurricane Katrina damage.
The Jackson County Baptist Association in southeastern Mississippi, for example, processed more than 3,000 volunteers in the two months following Hurricane Katrina. The volunteers have removed mud and debris from 600 homes in Pascagoula and elsewhere in the area.
“It gives us a great deal of encouragement and emotional energy to go on,” said Tom Miller, associate missions director for the Jackson County association. “The fact people care and come and assist in demolition and repair work gives you a boost.”
