Mississippi Mission Trip - "March 9th - March 17th, 2007"

"Jesus Calms the Storm"

...Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"

But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, "Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

When the world seems bigger than God......Call Psalm 30

...prosperity had made David feel invincible. Although he knew that his riches and power had come from God, they had gone to his head, making him proud. Wealth, power, and fame have an intoxicating effect on people, making them feel self-reliant, self-secure, and independent of God. But this false security can be easily shattered. Don't be trapped by the false security of prosperity. Depend on God for your security, and you won't be shaken when worldly possessions disappear....

Here is the Word and Deed Group from Ontario... Minus myself, Jay, Momma D, Jon and Andrew... We went on a shopping trip and that's when they decided to do the group shots...

We Managed to get in this one though... This is a group shot of everyone at Camp Hope :)

Here we have a picture of our crew on Day 1.... by the end of the week we had almost everyone helping us... It was a pretty big job!! Andy gave us the name... "TEAM AWESOME" :)

Here are pictures of before and after of the one room we were working on!! I feel bad for the crew who had to mud that room... we sure aren't professional drywall'ers ;)

Some of the guys working hard... or hardly working' ;) They just posed for the camera as usual...

Here is a picture of Andrew Bergsma and Jack Daniel!! Without Andrew on our trip... It would have been a long 24 hour trip there and back... and it was already long enough!!

The BEAUTIFUL Mississippi Gulf Coast Line... Now imagine a 32 ft. wave coming out of there hitting the coast!! :/
