Thank you for expressing an interest in making a trip to Lakeshore. The relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts could not move forward without your help. Lakeshore Mississippi took the brunt of Hurricane Katrina’s fury. Strong sustained winds (150+ mph) and a 42 foot storm surge destroyed all the homes in this almost forgotten town, leaving its residents without shelter, food, or running water. Months later, the daunting task of rebuilding homes and lives continues. From day one, Lakeshore Baptist Church has served as a conduit of help and hope for her hurting community.

Thousands of gulf coast residence still live in very difficult conditions. With their homes destroyed, their lives drastically altered, and reminders of devastation at every turn, the task seems overwhelming. You can make a very real difference in their lives.

Lakeshore Baptist Church does not charge teams to come volunteer with us. We completely depend on donations to operate. we do not want a financial obligation to prevent your group from working with us on the gulf coast. We realize that God has gifted everyone differently, so we ask that you prayerfully consider how you can contribute to the efforts. The Rebuild Lakeshore ministry costs about $10 a day per person. Whatever your group can contribute will be greatly appreciated and will go toward the continuing ministry in the gulf coast to the glory of God.

The needs remain great and the project list continues to grow. Your visit will provide help and hope to the Lakeshore community. As you make plans to come, contact us for available dates, housing arangements, and possible projects. To help in your planning, we have provided answers to frequently asked questions. Feel free to contact us for any other questions you may have.
