MERCI' to learn more...
Every year when the
hurricanes hit, it's a mad scramble to fill cleaning buckets, make health
kits and collect diapers and can food. Please join MERCI in 2006 by
helping to fill the warehouse with those items ahead of time! By the time
August first rolls around, MERCI would like to have over 1000 cleaning
buckets on hand as well as thousands of health kits, school kits, layettes,
etc.. We are also seeking a trucking group to help us deliver, especially
one that can go when needed. Starting in January, MERCI will be using a new
custom made date base and needs volunteers who are willing to do some
"office work". Please join in 2007!

the Fayetteville District
Imagine people still
in need of repairs from the devastation of hurricanes Ivan (9/16/2004),
Dennis (7/11/2005), and Katrina (8/29/2005). Team members do not have to
have special building skills, only a desire to serve. We are looking for
people who will be ambassadors for Jesus Christ by ministering to others.
We trust God will provide enough skilled team members to guide those of us
who are willing to serve at their direction.
ONLY 15 spots
available
Cost: $100-$125 plus
meals during travel.
($50 deposit required
to guarantee reservation)
