KATRINA RELIEF
TEAM ON WEDNESDAY ----- Original Message ----- Wednesday, September 21, 2005: Today all 38 of us were back in Bayou La Batre. We came into town with only a tentative outline of what we were doing for the day. As we came into town we stopped at the Bayou La Batre Wesleyan Church to see if our services were needed. The Wesleyan Church has become the area headquarters for World Hope International (WHI) since Hurricane Katrina hit over 3 weeks ago. WHI is a faith based disaster relief organization that has traveled across the world to aid in disaster relief. The Bayou La Batre WHI team is in charge of distributing food, water, sheets, baby items, cleaning supplies, toiletries, and other various items. They have been distributing items every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Each distribution has handled an average of 350-400 family. As Coach Olson contacted the head of the WHI team we found out that our stopping was an answer to prayer. |

| When we came in the WHI team was in a meeting, and one topic of their meeting was how they could keep the Thursday date on their schedule. They had just lost 30 volunteers the day before, and needed at least 30-35 more volunteers to be able to distribute tomorrow. We were all able to fill those spots and a couple more. The majority of our group spent the rest of the day cleaning up from the distribution yesterday, and preparing packages of food, water, baby supplies and the various other items we will be distributing tomorrow. The rest of the group went out with WHI and church officials to help out at area homes. | |

We all had an amazing day getting prepared to serve hundreds of needy people tomorrow. Coach Larry Olson
