Well, it’s not really “my” project. But it is what I worked on November 11-17, 2007 as a joint project between the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination and the Jefferson County Habitat for Humanity in Beaumont, TX. We (the national denomination) provided the $100,000 capital donation to Habitat for the materials and affiliate financing of the two houses with the partner families and the volunteers from all over the nation for the two week-two house “Blitz Build.” Both partner families were Hurricane Rita affected.
A great, relaxing and fulfilling week.

Isn’t it great to be part of “his” projects.
Thanks for sharing. I took my family down to Katrina’s kitchen to work for a week this summer as our “vacation” and it was a blessing to part of the work.

Its really a blessing for all of us that care, when someone takes the time to help others, help themselves. God bless you, and all who were involved. Thanks for posting.

this is a great project, thanks for sharing. If you haven’t done it, try blogging the experience, I’d like to see what you learned in the process. I went to Mexico City about 12 years ago to help build a church there. While tying rebar on the 2nd floor, we had an earthquake, my first to experience. I was left with the question, “why am I here working on this God?” All I heard later that day was, “do this at home.”
Short and to the point, but I got the message.

Very nice, you must feel real proud of yourself, after that experience of helping others.
