Meeting At Crossroads for June Trip
New Orleans Trip June 2010
In the past four years several hurricanes have destroyed the Gulf Coast states. Hurricane Katrina destroyed buildings, homes and people. The levees did not hold flooding over 80% of the city and killing thoudsands of people and destroying homes. Gustav and Ike merely passed around the Greater New Orleans area with no major damaged. However, windows were broken and many trees fell on the roof of homes and buildings.
After four and a half years some of the residents are not able to live in their homes. Also, we have projects working with street children having a BBQ and talking about Jesus. Crossroads work with many churches helping in what is needed.
A family home we worked on in 2006 and 2009 has moved into their home January 2010. What a blessings to see the smiles on their faces. And still there are homes that have not been touched. In December 2009, we gutted a building that had been sitting for four years. This property will be one of our projects in June 2010.
We will be working with elderly people of NOLA to help paint their homes and/or clean their yards. There are many elderly men and women in NOLA who do not have the funds or energy to work around their homes. The city of the Greater New Orleans area rquired the home owner to clean their yards and paint their houses, but when you go inside the home is still a disaster with very little work done.
LAMB Ministry Center (Laborers About the Masters Business), land needs to be cleared of debris and weeds. This land is owned by my partners in NOLA Chaplain Hy & Libba McEnery focusing on the children of New Orleans and their families. Their ministry has lead many children to Christ.
New Orleans still has not recovered from hurricane Katrina in 2005. Much work is still to be done there as do most of the Gulf states.
Crossroads is commited to sending volunteers to NOLA as long as there is a need. You do not need to be a member of a church but have the willingness to help those in need.

Love and blessings, Hazel Bardoni
