Volunteers Needed for Disaster Rebuilding in USA:
HarvestCall’s next large-scale winter rebuilding ministry will be in Jennings, Louisiana.
On October 9th, 2020, Hurricane Delta made landfall on Louisiana’s Gulf coast as a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph. This occurred just six weeks after Hurricane Laura – a larger, much stronger storm impacted the same area. With recovery still underway from the earlier storm, many structures had temporary tarping which was easily ripped off creating even greater damage
to these exposed structures. Additionally, this came near the height of the COVID pandemic, greatly reducing the number of volunteers who came to help out. Now, a little more than three years later, many are still in need of our help to repair and rebuild their homes and lives. Homes will be re-roofed and repaired for underserved people who suffered loss and are unable to recover on their own.
While construction is the obvious activity of this ministry, the primary goal is to share the love of Christ and proclaim the Gospel.
• Forty volunteers are needed each week starting January 7, 2024, and continuing through March 22, 2024. Please consider giving your time and talents to minister to those in need.
• Skilled tradesmen AND unskilled workers are needed, as are those with a passion to share the Gospel with those we serve.
• Serving from a posture of humility is of utmost importance.
• Online registration is required for all team members and opens at noon Central time on Wednesday, November 15th at www.harvestcall.org
