I just wanted to post a few pictures of our time in New Orleans (March 25-28, 2007) to help Chuck Staub (coming on staff with Executive Ministries this summer) rebuild his house. It was rewarding being with David and his friend Rick from Roaring Gap and fun to labor together.

It is always more blessed to give than to receive, and that is not only in finances but in the form of hard labor. Rick commented about how we felt after the first long day of work, "This reminds me of two-a-days back in high school when I played football." We look forward to how God will use Chuck, his leadership, and the house to reach Influencers for Christ in New Orleans!

Serving together,
Leslie




The front of the house. The bottom half is painted and the upper section is not.
