Bethel Update February

From the PDF:
Without each of you, rebuilding would be only a dream for most of us as 70,000 homes in Mississippi are either uninhabitable or were completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. It is your compassion that makes rebuilding a reality! During a recent, “Where did you see the face of God” talks after dinner, one of the “locals” tried to convey what the residents of the Mississippi Gulf Coast have come to realize. When disaster strikes (such as with the magnitude of Katrina) it’s not the government, it’s not the insurance companies that you’ve invested-in for years, it’s our fellow citizens from near and far whom we can depend upon to help us rebuild our homes … our lives. You have come to join us and in many instances to work for us in rebuilding our beloved communities. Your hands and your hearts are the one constant in our lives since August. And for that, dear friends in Christ, we shall be eternally grateful. The Mississippi Gulf Coast will forever be known as the community rebuilt by love.
