Camp Hope News

Lisa and Heather have recently completed a new Camp Hope brochure that is designed to help raise the awareness of the ongoing need here on the Coast for rebuilding. In the brochure, they recount what one of our newest members said about our Camp Hope ministry during the one-year Katrina Remembrance Service: "They not only rebuild homes; they rebuild lives."

Pray for us. Pray that the Lord will work through us to rebuild lives here on the Coast. There is still much hurt and much pain. There is still a lot to do.

On a related note, I received the latest update on the volunteer who fell and fractured his skull several weeks ago. His wife had this to say about her husband:

"[It] has [been] a good week. He was able to enjoy friends, the lovely weather, and the water garden from the deck. I still monitor him in walking just as a safety factor. He has had some upset stomach episodes again from the balance issue. He has therapy again tomorrow and again on Thursday. He is very tired after therapy. He is enjoying friends' visits but does tire easily. We hope to have our small group in Saturday for soup and a Gulfport recap. Maybe early church will be attempted on Sunday. We'll see what the engery level dictates! Again thanks for all the cards and prayers. We are certain [he] is at the level of recovery because of your prayers and encouragement."

Please continue to pray for them in this.
