Shelter From the Storm

One of the ministries which our Grace Point Team had the privilege of being a part of was building transitional housing. During our 7 days there the team was able to build 4 shelters for families who desperately needed them. With hurricane season at hand, the need for adequate shelter is overwhelming.

Tent cities spread as far as the eye can see. Many people have built makeshift shelters in the median of an unbelievable busy highway, risking the lives of their family members in order to find shelter from the storms.

Joy House has an awesome opportunity for the foreseeable future. Another major Christian based ministry has agreed to provide materials for as many transitional homes as they have the manpower to build! Anyone interested in going to help with constructing these homes can contact me for further information.

Thanks,
John
