Brian- Just wanted to send you and Hellen a note to congratulate you. The picture of both of you is absolutely beautiful.

Took a team of 30 to Slidell again for continued Katrina efforts. Team included my Dad, New City folks, Covenant RUF folks, and Tim with some guys from Elon. Trinity is almost redone and looks good. The new pastor, Todd, seems nice, came out and worked with us a few days. Lionel and Rebekah had Dad and I over for fried catfish and jambalaya.

Especially when you think in terms of missions - the very people going oversees to develop these churches and then telling them they need to be independent are themselves dependent on wealthier churches for their survival!
