Gulf Coast Hurricane Relief
Families and churches along the Texas gulf coast are still suffering from the effects of last year’s hurricanes. Samaritan’s Purse is asking for more volunteers to lend a hand and share the gospel with those still suffering. We need adults and students for a few days or a week of outdoor work with great fellowship, hard work and spiritual growth, ministering to those in need of help. Some of the work will be physically demanding in unpleasant conditions. Work might include light construction, clean-up and help to families and churches in the coastal regions that are still hurting from last year’s hurricanes. Jody Kennedy International will organize groups to spend a a few days or a week in the continuing effort to restore lives and share the gospel of Christ with others.
