DERT Goes to Mississippi

Emmanuel has sent several teams of volunteers to work on recovery operations in Ocean Springs, MS. Our first team went in December 2005. One team just returned in September 2006.

Packing food boxes and loading the truck with supplies.
We filled a whole tractor trailer truck!
Our first team gets on the road...
Arriving in MS we joined the community of Christus Victor Lutheran Church. It was home base and the center of our work.
We distributed food, clothing and supplies.
 
We were busy tearing out the walls of houses that flooded and mopping the floors to get rid of mud.
All walls, furniture, appliances, etc. had to be removed from the houses. Notice the FEMA trailer in the driveway.
Signs of resurrection - a hope for new life for a destroyed home.

One year after Katrina, there is still much to do.

September 2006

Christus Victor has a new ministry - Camp Victor. A home for volunteers who have come to help with the clean-up.
