Bouncers Lend a Helping Hand in Houston

by Cherish Mason on June 26, 2018 in BOUNCE

Bouncers were sent off for their first day of disaster recovery work in the Dickinson area of Houston, TX. After a Commissioning prayer led by Scott Stevens, the Missions Coordinator, students headed off to their work sites. Bouncers will be working on roof repairs, installing sheet rock and dry wall among many other things. Bouncers were filled with joy and enthusiasm at their work sites today. Groups were able to meet with 

their homeowners and hear their stories and how Hurricane Harvey has affected them. Bouncers were shocked to see some of the homeowners living conditions and were honored to know that they were an answer to prayer. One homeowner was so thankful for the work that Bouncers were doing on her roof that she made home made tacos for all of the students working on her home. Another neighbor to one of the work sites came over to a Bounce Team and let them know that she was receiving a liver transplant today. Bouncers were able to pray for her and she was able to pray for them; over all it was an encouraging time. 

Tonight during worship, the Bounce Missions Offering was taken up. The proceeds of the Bounce Mission Offering will go toward ongoing disaster recovery work. Together, Bouncers donated over $720! The Bounce Staff is thankful for Bouncers' generous hearts and their desire to continue helping those who are still recovering from Hurricane Harvey.
