That’s how many miles it is from the doorsteps of Christ Presbyterian Church to the doorsteps of Lagniappe Presbyterian Church. After some initial hiccups that required the pressing into service of the CPC trailer (Thanks CPC! I’ll bring the trailer back next Saturday!) we finally got on the road at 8:30pm on Friday night. To add to the adventure of our departure our team of riders wasn’t complete until we picked up the “late, but don’t call me out” Mike Shaw in Farmington. Seems Mike thought we were leaving on Saturday! Glad you could throw things in a bag and join us Mike!
22-hours later we arrived in Gulfport, MS where Mike confirmed the trip was so easy that we did it, “sitting down.”
No doubt about it! I don’t want to sit for the rest of the week!
Lagniappe Presbyterian Church is the home of the Hancock County Habitat for Humanity chapter. Lagniappe is an incredible church, born out of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. They and their amazing story of grace and perseverance have been featured in many articles.
The Lagniappe facility is an amazing testimony to the ingenuity of people called by God to do a hard task. Every inch of the facility is designed to maximize a work teams time, talent, energy, and spiritual well being during their time in Gulfport.
Our team is excited to be entering into this experience of following God into the hard places. Please pray for our teams that we would continue to grow together, work together, laugh together, and learn together.
Grace & Peace
Mike Hotz
