Students help with Hurricane Katrina clean up
“I am very excited about the opportunity to take this trip,” said Peter LoPresti, a senior accounting major who plans to participate. “The Lord has definitely blessed our group with students willing to serve and use the gifts that they have been so graciously given.” “Our group is ready to serve in any way that they can use us,” said Wendy Van Wyhe, resident director of McKee Hall and an adviser for the New Orleans trip. Other students will head to Jackson, Mississippi, Mobile, Alabama, Houston, Texas, and San Lius, Mexico, for missions trips over spring break. The group traveling to Mobile will also assist with hurricane relief efforts. Students on the Jackson trip will focus on social outreach in an area that is struggling with poor housing, segregated education, and few jobs. In Houston, students will help Bread of Life, a ministry that provides basic necessities to low-income families and those coping with HIV. The Mexico trip is in connection with the Caring Hearts Ministries, an organization that runs an orphanage, a church, and a Bible school and reaches out to the homeless. |
