I think it was last November when Northside Baptist Church of Charlotte, NC sent a team down to Lakeshore. This wonderful energetic crew helped in so many ways. In the video you can see them pouring the footers for our metal quanzet hut that serves as our temporary church building. The pictures encouraged me this morning because many of the homes they were doing preliminary work now have families living in them. For example, you see them hanging sheet rock in the Ward’s house – the Wards now have a beautiful home. They worked in the Nesome’s – the Nesomes now live back in their spacious house (FEMA campers get mighty cramped with 6 kids).
We could not have made a dent in the progress over the last 14 months without teams like Northside Baptist and hundreds of others giving of their time and talents to come down to lend assistance. Plenty of work remains to be done. Thousands of people still live in campers and need your help to rebuild their homes. Videos like this give you a glimpse into what a mission trip to Lakeshore feels like. Why not plan your trip today? Call our church office at (228) 469-0110 for details. If no one answers, it means we are probably all out working on houses. Please leave a message and we will return your call asap. We would love to see you come help rebuild Lakeshore to the glory of God.

Pastor Don,
As we make final preparations for our departure tomorrow morning from Charlotte, it is refreshing to see this testimonial about my home church (NBC/Charlotte).
My great uncle (Jack Hudson) started this church in 1954. I am a third generation pastor from our family, following in the footsteps of my great-uncle and father, who are now both with the Lord.
We look forward to bringing another team from Harvest Community Church and serving as their “tour guide.”
May many others “answer the call” and travel to the Gulf Coast to see what the Lord is doing there..
In Him,

I am excited about the opportunity and experience and the chance to serve people. I know that God will use these trips to teach me a lot about God, myself and trust, and see what God has done and is doing in this area of the world. (Romans 5:4) I know you will see the value in what we will accomplish. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God’s leading in the many short mission trips to Lakeshore, Mississippi.

Im glad to see other people with the same passion for Gods work as me. I just wanted to post a reply to let everyone know about a new missionary website for believers. You can upload videos and pictures of your missions trips. Im trying to find people who want to help support this mission. Thanks and God bless!
