“I’m Still Alive”

Some friends of mine from Philadelphia recently went to Gulfport to work… do whatever they can do to make a difference in the aftermath of the hurricane. They put together a video that is really good by a professional guy in their church, Jonathan Centeno.

Here’s an excerpt from the Crosscombe’s blog about the trip:

Gulfport is 1200 miles (2000 km) from Philadelphia and we drove straight through. Upon arrival we immediately set to work, breaking into 5 crews. These were tree cutting (later to become roofing), counseling, cooking/cleaning, distribution and admin. We found, as expected, things in a hectic state. Those who had preceded us were working tirelessly to help the community, through a local church, Little Rock Missionary Baptist. We were able to come alongside those there and begin to bring some order and cohesion to the work.

It is almost impossible to describe the devastation in parts of the town, so I won’t even try. I can say that our team was amazing, God blessed all they laid their hands to, and great things happened.
