... with the help of friendly folks from Deleware, Indiana, and Oklahoma. They worked on projects all over town this week. Our Ministry Intern, Ryan Knapp coordinated clothing and food distributions to the Grand Bay and Bayou La Batre communities.


One of our longer-term volunteers, Jeff, got to practice his nursing skills by providing first aid to our local friend Blake, who cut his foot while fishing in the water at the thank you dinner at Coden Park. 3 cuts right to the bone, 11 stitches, and one sliced ligament.

Here To Serve






"Gumby" volunteer laborers from Dothan, Alabama, Noblesville, Indiana, and Toledo, Ohio contributed to the on-going story of Restoring Hope to Bayou La Batre this past week. They contributed with their time and skills to the home rebuilding and remodeling projects on Belligrath Road, Shelly Smith's home, Harber Chang's home on Saint Michael Street, and the Gartman's home on Delcamber Street as well as others. Thank Y'all for your hard work and willingness to serve.
This pool will become Ed Gartman's new flower garden.

Jekyll Clubhouse Peach


Last week, a team from Whispering Hills Church of the Nazarene from Brentwood, Tennessee and a Valparaiso Nazarene Church Middle School team worked in Bayou La Batre. They focused on projects on Little River Road. They cleaned up debris, leaves, and branches around the Bryant and Cash homes and painted the interior of the Cash home. They sure are some neat colors! Take a look. Also, check out our newly updated Volunteer Frequently Asked Questions page.
