rebulding of the gloryland baptist church

today is monday june 30th 2008 and out team was truly blessed when we arrived at gloryland baptist church with the love of the pastor for us coming to help rebuild his church to bring back the congregation that once was there but left after hurricane katrina so we were there to help in such a great way with the love of jesus christ and to bring hope back to this congregation.
so there was 8 guys leading the charge in the drywall job and some helping with the church pews and bruce helping with the sound system with the microphones and when he fixed them pastor dunbar and the organist started to play music and sing the awesome southern gospel music when i heard that i said yeah this is where God wants us to be to bring back to life this pastor and his congregation.
so we got a plan to get drywall at the home depot but one problem 30 pieces of drywall was not going to fit in the minivan we had so luckily a guy named mike drove three of us in his pickup truck to go get the material we needed so that was awesome and we got 3/4 done but alot of it still needs to be done so hopefully we can go back and finish the drywall that we started.
God worked in such a way today it felt like he was right there with the pastor being joyful singing praises to God after the devestation that happened a couple of years ago because of hurricane katrina and that is the hope that will bring back new orleans in such a powerful way with the church and volunteers and community leading the way but with God and believe me what he has planned for new orleans will be so special.
finally when we leave to go back home the community will know the body of christ will never leave the side of new orleans because God is moving in such a way the next chapter will be wrote and a new chapter will begin and HOPE!!!!!! once again to new orleans and one last thought GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
