For the past 3 Saturday’s, Houma Christian staff and students have partnered with LWC to do relief work and cook hot meals for Hur Laura victims. We have met many sweet people who have lost and endured so much! It has been a blessing to pray with and love on these new friends. We served at Celebration Worship Center in Sulphur and New Life Church in DeRidder. Thank you to all those you sent in supplies and money to help. Thank you to the staff and students who attended and were walking out the Great Comission.
