WE PRAISE GOD!!!

THIS HAS BEEN AN AWESOME WEEK!!
We've met new friends and have just been so blessed by being with our brothers and sisters this past week.
If you've never volunteered with us, or haven't in awhile......please read on..........we miss you.........and we really need you......... :)

We had many congregations working together in Bayou La Batre during this past Work Camp.
We had volunteers from Cox Blvd. COC, Sheffield, AL., Creekwood COC, Mobile, AL., Bayou La Batre COC, BLB, AL., 9th Ave. COC, Haleyville, AL., Jackson Heights COC, Florence, AL., as well as DRT staffers from Mid-County COC, Troy, Oh., Lancaster COC, Lancaster, OH., Fredrick COC, Fredrick, MD.,

Much was accomplished by the work of these groups! There are now a few more families who can leave their FEMA trailers and finally after 14 months move back into their houses. There are also a couple more families who are just days of work away from moving into their homes.

Also, WE PRAISE GOD for (3) individuals who have put on their LORD in baptism!!!
The Cox Blvd. COC, also sent evangelism teams along with work crews. They are very successfully using the Open Bible Method of one on one Bible Study that was developed by the Northwest COC, Lawton, OK. The Cox Blvd. COC group has been a tremendous strength to DRT as well as the Bayou La Batre church with their dedication in bringing work crews and evangelistic teams. (this work camp was their 14th trip) !!!!

Jay and Anita Aguilar are now able to move into their house because of the labor of DRT volunteers and building material purchased by DRT. THE BEST NEWS..................
After Bible Studies with members of Cox Blvd., Jay and Anita were baptized Thursday night!!!!

If you are interested in learning the Open Bible Method of Bible Study please send an email and I'll be glad to get you the information.

Hurricane Katrina: Live video of the storm.

One of our volunteers from the Norval Park Church of Christ told us about this video that he had found online so I googled and found it and thought some of you might find it interesting. It shows Hurricane Katrina hitting Biloxi. The man taking the video is in a parking garage.
