Kentucky team to Mississippi

Seven VIMers just returned from Pass Christian, Mississippi and met up with four individuals from North and South Carolina to work on a home in the area. It was unbelievable to us that the devastation was still as fresh as it was. The debris was still piled high on the roads, more than half the towns were deserted and to get groceries it was a 30 mile drive. We worked together and got a roof on a house and have it ready for other groups to work inside.

We also worked with a man named Ken Morris that has been in the Pass since January that has given up his career as a contracter and is hekping others to rebuild as a volunteer. He truly blessed our group. We were also received by open arms by the First Methodist Church of Pass Christian which has turned their Sunday School rooms into bunk rooms for volunteers to use.

It is an experience our group will not forget and we are planning our next trip at this writing.
