This is a new friend Mr. Conrad Velasco- I mentioned him on an earlier post. He and Jake Earle have started a ministry which is called "Sheds for Jesus." LPC is going to partner with them and construct storage sheds for people in the community. Most residents are in FEMA trailers with little to NO storage space- 8x8 trailers are being sold all over the coast for upwards of $1,100-$1,400 dollars. We are building them on-site at homes, spending time with homeowners and doing it for $500 per 8x8 shed with treated floors, shingled roofs, drip edge, etc... This is very exciting. Here's the best part- the storage shed becomes our entry into people's lives and our ability to minister to them. LPC's "Shed Project" is going to be "Shed the Love"- no explanation needed. We are thankful for our new friends and partners in ministry Conrad and Jake!
P.S. We also met up with a group in Kiln, MS today (home of Brett Favre) called "Camp Coastal" they are doing relief work in the Kiln area and hosting teams- great folks and should be a good partner in relief work!
P.S.S. Morrell foundation camp NEEDS 80 houshold extension cords- 10 ft. long and 40 clip-on work lights (they look like big silver bowls with a bulb and a 'tong-like' clamp on the back) Can you get some of that? If you can let us know, box it up and send it to us- actually we'll let you send it to Morrell foundation- call me and I can give you an address!!!!
