Gulf Coast Team #636

Here’s a review of our activities:

We know we clearly shared the gospel with at least two home owners, but I think there were more opportunities to share and pray for people
We did not see anyone make that decision to give their lives to Christ
We worked in at least five different homes doing:

• framing
• repairing
• scrubbing with bleach
• pulling nails
• insulating
• sheet rock prep
• sheet rocking
• electrical work, repairing, upgrading, installing receptacles,
• primed an entire house (interior)
• laid sub floor
• removed & replaced windows
• built a deck stairway and railing
• reinforced a floor
• misc siding
• closed in an open wall
• hung a cabinet

We also had chances to do more than work physically

• gave three prayer shawls
• blessed home owners with lunches
• got to know some local people at the community supper
• toured parts of St Bernard Parish & the Lower Ninth Ward and the French Quarter
• had about 10 devotion times, giving everyone on the team a chance to share a brief meditation
• had a few brief teachings such as “the Armor of God,” “Give What You Have,” “Short-Term Mission – Who’s it For?” “Let Your Light Shine”
• representatives from the team scouted new possible locations for future Eagle Brook teams

There is probably much more we could list, but this is at least a snap-shot of what God did on this team!
