Seventeen NYS-fits+ have arrived in New Orleans to continue the rebuilding efforts that we began here in the Fall of 2007. We are expected two more persons tomorrow to bring our team to its full complement. Once again we will be working through the Disaster Recovery Office of the Presbytery of Southern Louisiana. Grace Lutheran on Canal Boulevard is our host church for this visit. Their building was under eight feet of water for three weeks, but, with help from persons all around the country, they were able to return to their sanctuary for worship on Easter of 2006. They continue to be highly supportive of the rebuilding effort in New Orleans, as hosts and volunteers. They have also sent teams to other parts of the country to assist rebuilding efforts there.
