On January 14, we began a mission to help re-new New Orleans. We kept a blog. We came home January 20, but the blog continues for while as we sort out our feelings, our experiences and our mission for the future...

Here We Go !!!
When this started, I thought it would be fun. Go to New Orleans and help some people... Boy was I ignorant. Not until I was seriously planning did I really look at what happened there. I knew only what the news station fed me. That's pretty much the way I tend to take things. Not Good Goddess! Once I found out more and realized the horror these people lived through and died because of, my heart broke and where it broke, New Orleans took hold. The faces of the people and the culture took root in a special place in me. God, forgive my ignorance, my complacent attitude and give me the grace to really reach someone in your name; for your glory.

I know it is just a small part of the process, but I feel like I have at least done SOMETHING.
Getting up at 3:30 am Saturday morning, picking up Rob and Keith, and delivering them to Ontario Airport was my way of participating in ReNew Orleans. I wish you ALL a safe trip, a great experience, and most of all, a safe return.
Bill Hilborn.
