Worksite close to Camp Restore – had been almost rebuilt once and then destroyed by fire
Lots of nail holes to cover, vaulted ceilings, six arches, two raceway ceilings
In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged the Gulf Coast from Texas to Alabama. Over one million households were displaced and over 250,000 homes destroyed. Through its volunteer camps, RAI Ministries has hosted over 30,000 volunteers and managed construction efforts to complete over 6,000 projects (2,750+ major home repairs and 4,000+ minor home repairs and other projects). Additionally, three churches and one school facility have been restored. Currently, 60,000 homes are slated for demolition in New Orleans
Camp Restore estimates that there is 10+ years of work left to do. It is currently partnering with State and Federal agencies to assist residents in applying for aid money that has been made available, but has not been used. 1 Peter 4:10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. Whatever your gifts and talents are, they're meant to be used in service to others; whether it is in New Orleans or right here in Mayer. (carpenter, sheetrocker, electrician, mudder, taper, sweeper, quilter, fixer upper person, . . . And most importantly - prayer!)
