After we visited Ed Phillips, we drove to Pascagoula, MS to follow up on some of the contacts that teams from Morning Star Baptist Church made during their trips to the area to help rebuild. Anouk and I tried to contact four individuals that were helped by our teams however, only two were home so we left notes for the other two.
It was a privilege to meet Della. She took us into her home to show us the progress that has been made so far. She was very excited that the new drywall had been hung and other improvements have been made. I was pleased to hear that she had been thinking about our team that came down to help her. She is still very thankful for the work that the team did on her behalf. She was glad to hear that another team from our church will be coming down to help in January.
She is living in the FEMA trailer that is parked on her front lawn but is anxious to get back into her house. Please keep Della in prayer as she is working a lot trying to make ends meet. Click here for an “essay” written by our assistant pastor who was on the team that went to help Della.

Encouraging to see Della’s home improving. It’s got to be a slow, arduous journey for her.
How come I didn’t see these posts when I was on here yesterday? Did you add these things recently or am I going crazy?
We love you guys!

[…] This past week, we were wrapping things up in Lafayette, LA so we would be prepared for the last “leg” of our journey. The last weekend in January brought about new and exciting plans for our last few weeks in the South. After discussion with Global Grace’s board, we decided to go to Mississippi / Alabama to help finish the work on Della’s house (remember Della? Our church in Rockford - Morning Star Baptist - adopted her. Click here for her story). […]
