I received the following today from Glenn, PCC’s SR High pastor.

This July 14th – 21st 58 high school students and leaders from Ignite! (Parkview’s Sr. high ministry) will be going to New Orleans to help in the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Their purpose in going is to tangibly share God’s love by helping the residents who were effected by Hurricane Katrina get back on their feet.

They will be cleaning out, and gutting homes that sat under up to 7.5 feet of water after the hurricane. They will also help distribute food and pray for those in need. The group will drive rented vans down and back and will stay at Celebration Church while in New Orleans. Please pray for the unity of the team as they prepare to go, for their safety as they travel, for their health as they work, and for God to show His love to each person they encounter along the way. Thanks for holding these individuals up in prayer as they prepare and go!

This is a photo from last year’s trip. I think it’s amazing that while many of us have begun to forget the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, our students are going to show up and demonstrate- tangibly- the love of Christ. Please be praying for this team as the prepare to go.
