Hurricane Florence Response

Our team arrived in New Bern, NC yesterday evening. Our home for the week is called Camp Hope. This is the local headquarters for Christ In Action while they are serving families in New Bern. What an amazing operation! CIA brings portable bathrooms, showers, and a kitchen. Truckloads of supplies and equipment are staged and ready to go every morning. Check out Christ In Action here to get an idea of their capacity for ministry.
Today, we split into teams and went to three different homes that have been damaged by flood water.

We cleared brush, repaired roofs and pulled water-logged ducts out of crawlspaces. Our goal is to make these homes livable while the families wait for insurance and other agencies to start the rebuilding process. These families have been through so much in these past few weeks, but they are so gracious and thankful for the help.

Here’s Mark, Pam and Cash after some crawl space time.
