Gulfport , Mississippi Mission Trip Photos

A close encounter of a God-kind....this team of ADVIM workers worked on 2 homes-Arcadia and Gulfport in Mississippi. 8 quilts were distributed by Lucy Harward to home owners who were receiving repairs. 60,000 people have been served by disaster relief teams in Mississippi and New Orleans so far. According to Relief Coordinators, The United Methodist Church, The Amish and The Mennonites have been the most devoted mission workers in this 2 state area since Katrina came. UMCOR coordinates the United Methodist efforts in relief.

These photos were part of the Mission Sunday presentation made by the group on April 6.
