Office of Disciples Volunteering

Disciples Hurricane Recovery Initiative

The needs across the Gulf Coast remain strong and Disciples are committed to respond at the heart of the recovery. The goal for the first phase of response was surpassed as more than 750 Disciples work groups traveled to the Gulf Coast to help. In the on-going response, volunteer groups will be working to repair and/or rebuild hurricane damaged homes. In planning for Phase II, an initial goal of 250 work groups was announced. Given the reality of rising fuel costs and recent disasters occurring throughout the Midwest, the goal has been revised to 150 to 200 Disciples congregations traveling to the Gulf Coast between September 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009.  Seven churches will serve as Mission Stations across the Gulf Coast.  These Mission Stations will be set up in Gulfport, Miss.; Port Arthur and Beaumont, Texas; and Slidell, Metairie, Lake Charles and Algiers, La.
