Hi folks, in spite of what you see, do not believe that it was me in that video. I was being held captive by my fellow Presbyterians in NOLA and was forced to be video taped and say untruthful things. We have been very blessed to be able to make this mission trip to NOLA to continue God's work for those who survived Katrina. Once again I am very humbled when I hear the stories that these home owners experienced. If you can imagine climbing into your attic and having up to 15 feet of water below you in your home, and then surviving for three days with no food or water. You are then finally rescued by a boat, taken, to another boat, then to dry land waiting to be taken by helicopter to the airport and then to be shipped via plane to an unknown destination. Then you must hear these stories as they are being told. If being treated like a prisoner, with guards holding guns, yelling at you and disrespecting you is normal in your life, then you might now understand. I don't understand this at all. Our home owner went through what I just described. She even had her daughter and special dog with her at this time. The rescuers would not take her because she wanted to take the dog with her. It was her love of the animal and her faith in God that helped her through this ordeal. I am amazed that people still ask why we continue to go to NOLA to help. Well, please consider giving up some of your time to come with us on the next trip and experience, first hand, how God works through us to help his people who still need our support. Thanks for supporting and praying for all of us during our mission trip. We really appreciate all you do for us.
