A journey into 3rd world America
Wow, that's what comes to my mind about the mission trip to Buras, LA. For those who saw the devestation you understand what I'm talking about, but it's hard to describe to others exactly what we saw.
Imagine whole towns- destroyed. Nearly every house, EVERY business, and every church building wiped out. The most powerful thing for me to see...the Church still exists. It needs no building, no pews, and no powerpoint. The Church is the people, the organism of God that is alive and kicking.
Please ask people about what they saw, what they felt, and what they are thinking now after the trip. If you missed out, plan on it next year. Buras 2007, bring it on.
If you would like to see pictures and hear testimonies we will be doing a sharing time on Wednesday night the 16th in the mid-week worship service. It starts at 5:45 and we will be done in time for X-Factor at the Dub.
