Project Overview:
Ike did not cut the wide path of destruction that Hurricane Katrina did in Louisiana three years ago but the damage where Ike did come ashore was every bit as bad. The major difference between someone who lost everything in Ike and someone who lost everything in Katrina is that one lives in Texas and the other lives in Louisiana/Mississippi.
There are needs in Texas, needs that are not being reported on the nightly news any longer but they are there and very real. AIM and our partners in the region will help participants meet those needs and, more importantly, share the love of Christ with those who are hurting.
When participants come to the Texas coast, they will get the chance to help people and build relationships. As with the aftermath of Katrina, there are those who need someone to talk to and someone to come along side them for extra help and encouragement.

Ministry Description:
Participants should come to Texas ready to serve and pitch in where needed. Ministry could involve food distribution, roofing, cleaning out houses (removal of sheetrock to removal of deep mud), sheet rocking, roofing, etc. Physical labor will be a large part of the trip at least initially. Other, purely relational, ministries are definitely possible. Those opportunities will increase with time. At present, most relational ministry will take place while working alongside a homeowner as you help them clean out their house or rebuild.
