Hurricane Matthew Lumberton Rebuild–August 26–September 9, 2017

Mission Trip Adventures 9.9First Week: 1-FBC Salisbury; Second Week: 2-Southeast BC, Greensboro; 3-Tom Yarbrough, Winston-Salem; 4-Region 3 Feeding; 5-Life Community Church, Greensboro; 6-Ideal Electrical Services, Indian Trail; 7-FBC Mauldin, SC.

Mission Trip Adventures 9.9-001We only had a one team scheduled  for last week we took the week off. We had a nice time at home and with family. David took off this week and Anthony a few days each week.  By rotating our time the site remained open and lots of work got done.  Teams have been working lately to complete some of the many homes we are working on. Sophie worked on electrical issues last week and then on Friday Jeff Little brought a large electric crew in to help out. Most volunteers have done trim work touch up painting and floor installation. A group this week also installed floor decking.  In other words a little of every thing has been done over the past two weeks. One of the most asked question this week was were we closing up and going to Texas or Florida.  NC Baptist Men does have teams in Texas and others will respond south when and as needed.  As for the Lumberton operation the plan is for it to stay open and operating.  So if you have already made plans to come to Lumberton I pray you will stay the course.  And if you want to volunteer to help others in need but don’t want to travel to Texas or Florida then please come to Lumberton to help rebuild homes so the people here can return to their home.  Also with big cooking teams going out of state we are being left short handed in the kitchen. So we still need many volunteers to rebuild Hurricane Matthew damaged homes and cook to feed the volunteers.

Also, Ann walked in the First Annual Robeson County Walk to Remember today (Saturday) at Luther Britt Park and received a Challenge Coin.
