jrgwdenner,
I just returned and found your post. The North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention asked churches around the country to a adopt congregations in the storm area. Our church adopted a congregation in Lacombe, LA. We have been working with this local congregation since right after the storm. Intially we took in relief items, set up a satellite communication system and helped with disaster relief distribution. Later, we helped clear property using bobcats and chainsaws. This past week we roofed one home and repaired the roof on another, gutted a house that had been flooded and carried school supplies to the elementary and middle schools that had been collected through one of our local schools and the church.
We are planning another trip in a couple of weeks to gut addtional homes and start repairs on those that have been previously gutted.
