113. Spring Break Louisiana – Community UMC, Columbia

Spring Break

University of Missouri students from Community United Methodist Church, in Columbia, Missouri, served in New Orleans over spring break.  They worked on homes that were destroyed years ago by hurricane Katrina.  MissionCast caught up with three of the students at Community to listen to their experience.  Thank you to Liz Hinz, Sami Owen and Ben Rackets for sharing with us.  Tammy Shelton from Community also served on the team as one of the team leaders.  They report that it is estimated that mission teams will be needed for the next 18 years to complete the cases that are still open and are needing attention.
If you are interested in serving in this way contact Audrey Phelps, at the Office of Creative Ministries.  (phelps@umocm.com / 573-474-7155)
Thanks to the many Missouri college students that we learned about on facebook, and from whom we requested permission to use their pictures, who also spent spring break on this project that was planned by Beverly Boehmer and the Missouri Collection Connection.
