The Church Is Alive


Tom - Orion UMC

We are working in Natacha's home with periodic visits from her 8 year old son Tyrone. As I was mudding drywall, he stopped and asked, "What is that stuff?" I started to explain about joint compound when he said, "Isn't that drywall mud?" Kids here are learning what it takes to put homes and communities back together.

Problems here are as apparent as trees lying on roofs and FEMA trailers sitting in driveways, but the church is also apparent. It reminds me the church is most alive when we expose our problems and bear one another's burdens.

Hi! I've loved reading about your experiences and the service you're providing in LA. It's overwhelming to know that the work continues, and that there still is so much to do! Thank goodness for people like ya'll----it's a blessing to get to help brothers and sisters. Great job, Uncle Tom and Aaron!!
