Hurricane relief Louisianna 08




Bryan traveled to New Iberia and Houma in southern Louisiana to help with Convoy of Hope relief efforts. Nova Pittman of the North Texas District and Duane Gryder, Motorcycle chaplain traveled together and we worked alongside Convoy of Hope staff and volunteers, the National Guard and volunteers from the community. We served 9500 people with food, water, ice and tarps to cover their roof damage. The churches opened their doors to provide places for volunteers and returning evacuees to sleep. Many people returned to find roof damage and flooding. Some people we met had lost everything! We were able to pray with people and offer hope.
