You have gone; now, continue to strive through the heat and pain you will endure - give them Jesus!
This trip will be an experience you will never forget. It will touch your heart, soul and life in ways you cannot imagine. Years from now, you will have some sort of realization of "something" - a trigger of a memory from your service to the Lord and others in need there and you will be blessed yet again.
Blessings to you all for the love and effort you are giving in the name of MY Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
In prayer for your work and well being,
Laura Rogers
"May the LORD bless you and keep you; and make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
May the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."
Num 6:24-26
Hey FBC Portland!
Hi there! I’m Sam, the hurricane relief intern at Berean. Thank you so much for coming down to help rebuild this city. Amazing things are happing in New Orleans and y’all are a part of that. Unsaved homeowners are seeing teenagers giving up a week of their summers to come rebuild their house, and they don’t understand why. A lot of the teams get to pray and share Christ with the homeowners, and who would have thought you would have an opportunity like that in New Orleans. Katrina hit my senior year of high school and it was by far one of the worst times in my life but these past 2 year I have got see a countless number of work teams, come stay here for a week and by Friday their own life was changed. If I can give you any advice before you come down it would be have an open heart and mind, expect anything and everything and be flexible. Another thing is get to know the people of New Orleans. Its one thing to hear about the hurricane on the news but its totally different to talk to someone personally about it, it will help you have a better understanding. Can’t wait to meet y’all!!

You all are a living example of loving your neighbor as yourselves! May you be blessed each moment you are serving those who have experienced such loss.
"The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love.
He will rejoice over you with singing!" Zeph 3:17
With appreciation for what the Lord is doing through you,

As Dick and I were driving past the Linscott home the other day, we were trying to recall the dates for your trip. (Short-term memory can be difficult sometimes when you get to be our age!) In our experience with these types of trips, we understand the "ups and downs" that happen at any given moment. (and heat can really make you cranky)
My calendar wallpaper on my computer at work is perfect for you today. It comes from Philippians 4 verse 8 - "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on THESE things."
While the environment that surrounds you may not be beautiful or lovely...and definitely not "pure"...focus on the ONE who is...the ONE who brought you there to bless others...it will last a lifetime! You will be blessed!
Consider yourselves hugged!
