A Moment In Time Photography Blog by Ginger Moseley. North Carolina Wedding and Portrait Photographers - Tuesday May 1, 2007 (trackback link to this post)

My husband, Tim, recently spent a week in Gulfport, Mississippi on a mission trip with our church. The nice folks at Gateway Methodist there in Gulfport put them up in their mission building and the crew worked on several repair projects for those who needed help with home repairs after the destructive Katrina. I know the focus on this area has dropped off considerably now that people are putting Katrina behind them, but the rebuilding and repair continues....and they need help. These are areas outside of New Orleans (which received the lion's share of the media coverage). These small communities are trying to rebuild, but have had to rely on themselves and the kindness of others to do so. Unlike the larger cities, the smaller towns do not have many resources available to them. Gateway has a center in Gulfport to house any group willing to come and help out. You don't have to have construction experience to lend a hand. Some in our group are builders, but not all (our pastor will tell you he was completely out of his element! :o). They replaced a roof, repaired and painted an interior wall, and rewired a house while there. Many of those in need don't have the knowledge, don't have the money, or simply are physically unable to do the work. If any of you are interested in helping out, please contact the United Methodist Committee on Relief regional office at 228-539-9332 for more information on how your group can make a difference in someone's life.

Blessings,

Ginger
