After a long road trip, we finally made it to North Carolina. We got acclimated to the area and met some new friends. We are excited to be here and serve those affected by Hurricane Florence. Join us in prayer as we go out and begin working.

Day one began with some prayer to help us prepare for a week full of work and serving others. We broke up into teams to help out as many people from the community as possible. Some of us helped remove some insulation from under a house, some helped do some yard clean up among many more things. We made a lot of progress. After all that hard work, we helped Catholic Charities by packing up some boxes full of cleaning supplies, blankets and some food to take to some elderly people that had just been placed into some temporary homes. We visited them and even stuck around to hear some of their stories. We finished our first day strong and are ready to do even more great work in NC

After an early breakfast and a 30 minute commute yesterday, we made it to the Baptist on Mission's warehouse. There we were given some background information on their ministry, the areas we were serving in, and the impact of Hurricane Florence.

Once again, we woke up feeling pumped and ready to do even more. We continued the work that we started yesterday and were blessed at the opportunity to be able to meet the owners of the homes we were working it. People were very grateful for the work we were doing in their homes and it’s helped motivate us to do even more work around these communities. After finishing up some projects we headed out to help some people move out of some homes and into their new homes. The elderly were beyond grateful and loved having some company. They even told us some great stories. Today couldn’t have gone any better! Ready to start our last full day tomorrow. We’ve been so busy that we didn’t realize how quick the week is going by!

After a long day of work, some of the team took some time to just relax and spend some time together. They even went as far as to make a pyramid for us to enjoy! As you can see, nothing can stop this team from having a good time

Wednesday consisted of finishing up some projects with Baptist On Mission. We finished up pulling out some insulation from under a house and then headed over to Catholic Charities to start a new project. The house in the picture is where we started to work, pulling some weeds, cutting up some gras and even powerwashing it a bit to help out these homeowners. We plan on finishing it up tomorrow and we’ll be sure to post a picture of the after shot of this house!
