More pictures- Bethel MBC Metairie, La




Richards RV where John and I stayed also, since we flew to New Orleans, La



The second week, we were serving less people so we moved the cooking area to the campground where we were staying, then we could keep it set up and not have to tear it down every evening. We just packed up lunches and took to the job site





The Ladies took one afternoon off toward the end of the project. We headed over to the Riverwalk Marketplace along the Mississippi River.

Wednesday night service at the church site after Supper

I took many pictures of this part of the Sanctuary. This is actually what will be the back of the Sanctuary and will have stained glass in it with a cross probably. I prayed that the Lord would send many laborers and that many would fill this building when it is complete. And if just one more soul is saved, it will be worth it all.




Bro. Brant led in a devotional, and several shared what coming to this project meant to them.

Group picture(many were not present as this was Thursday or Friday morning when some were already having to leave). I think I counted at our largest to feed was between 65-70 workers, cooks and families.

Youth Group from Hillcrest taking a break, The youth group worked hard, doing whatever was asked of them. They hammered, cleaned up and then at times stood on the corner of the property, stopping traffic and invited people to church and handed out tracts. They also went door to door in the neighborhood and passed out tracts. They were a real blessing.

Meal time! (one of many)




Bro. Moose and Sis. Moose(Elaine) Jackson from ABA Disaster Relief helped us set up the cooking area everyday, sometimes in different locations on site. It was a real challenge as we had extreme weather from Hot sweltering days, high humidity to thunder, lighting and rain.

The first day of the project, July 6, 2009 was John and Esther's 36th anniversary. So everyone insisted we should go out for a late dinner.


So on the Riverwalk in New Orleans, we found the only place open to eat at 9:oo at night.

I highly recommend it, It was delicious.
