In this initial post, I'd like to give you a glimpse of what we're getting ourselves into next week. On our NC trip, we'll be rehabbing low-income housing. Here's a little more information about the area we'll be serving:
Located 20 miles south of the state capital of Raleigh, North Carolina, Fuquay Varina and Harnett County is a very large, but often forgotten area of need. It is an area where some still do not have indoor plumbing, where 15% of the population is below the poverty level and where many have not heard the Gospel. In this distinctive rural setting, Harnett County Social Services has their finger on the housing needs of this community. The needs include roofs, porches, handicap ramps and painting.
As you read this post, and look at the following homes, I'd ask you to pray for us. Pray that we might serve as Christ served!
Pray that we would be Ready... Ready to Love, Ready to Change, and Ready to Serve...
