Mrs. Linda Bates, Assistant to the Coordinator for Katrina Disaster Recovery in Mississippi Presbytery (228-604-2424), says they have a special immediate need for help in preparing the manse for the Handsboro Church since that congregation has just called their first installed pastor in seven years! The Orange Grove Church has also recently called a pastor, so there is a lot of excitement and lots of work for mission teams to do.
Linda can find work and room for teams as small as one person and as large as one hundred. The Mississippi Disaster Recovery Office which is coordinated by Dr. George and Mrs. Linda Bates is located at 1304 Pass Road, Gulfport 39507 (228-604-2424; Email: presbyrecovery@bellsouth.net).
The Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley Presbytery has posted online the updated Mississippi Presbytery Mission Handbook. The Mission Handbook has most of the information and FAQ’s any congregation or committee would need to consider, plan, and pursue a mission trip to help folks on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Remember, also, the St. Andrew Missions Committee commitment to “ordinarily pay Mississippi Presbytery’s suggested donation of $100 per person for supplies to assist, encourage, and support our congregations in sending mission teams to Mississippi Presbytery. Contact Exec/Treasurer Greg Goodwiller for application information.”
St. Andrew Missions Committee Moderator
