Here you will find a picture record of our mid March trip to the Gulf Coast. We assisted the leaders of the Lagniappe Church relief work in and around Bay St Louis, Mississippi. The Lord is reaching out through the actions of so many people. We returned May 20th to help with the transition to the Lagniappe property and train the interns for shed building. We stayed one week. The Lord provided GREAT progress! Feb, 2007 we are returning to Lagniappe to help and see what the Lord has done.
