A hot shower has intrinsic value

Santa Rosa, California and Shelby, Ohio were the places that volunteers travelled from to reach the Bayou this past week. They installed windows and doors in the Lam family's home, in Julie Seaman's home they installed the kitchen sink, a washer and dryer, and the hot water heater. They're taking hot showers now in their own home. Imagine how good that first shower would feel a mere ten months after losing your home. Also, a crew hung sheetrock in one of the homes on Bellingrath road south of town. Also, Keith, Marcus, and Jeff have come down to help out the NDR team for a few weeks during this very busy time of year. Thank you guys for all of your hard work and sacrifice.

Bethany First Church of the Nazarene

A volunteer team of fourty-seven from the Bethany First Church of the Nazarene in Bethany, Oklahoma, near Oklahoma City worked in the Bayou area during the week of June 25.

They fixed up the property at the Grand Bay Church of the Nazarene volunteer facility, cleaned and trimmed parks in Bayou La Batre, moved load after load of debris from home yards to the Theodore Landfill, and worked on projects in bayou homes on Little River Road.

The team focused on the motto "Be Flexible" during the week as they were led by Mike McGarry. BFC also hosted a two very fun community parties during the week that provided food and fellowship for the Bayou La Batre and Grand Bay communities.
