Getting Ready!
Hello! This is Rik and Martha, and we’re getting ready for the journey (mental and physical) to the Biloxi/ Gulf Port region. Last year’s experiences were great—I didn’t realize that we were the ones being blessed—until afterward! We are going there to physically help where and when we can—certainly, but I (Martha) believe that what we are to learn will come from the people with whom we come into contact. For example, last year, Rik, being the friendly guy he is, introduced himself to a neighbor living in an older house that was near a Habitat for Humanity house. The fellow said he was grateful that so many folks were willing to help build the neighborhood. Rik told him a little about our church and gave witness. Last year, we also met many people who had “weathered” Katrina and the other storms and lost almost everything but their faith. Many (if not all) had their faith in God strengthened by this trial. What a blessing to meet these folks and hear their stories! That’s about it for now. To whom will God lead us? Blessings! Martha and Rik
