Restoring the Gulf Coast – Lagniappe Church on SBE
Erik Guzman September 12th, 2008
When Jean Larroux and Curt Moore surveyed the damage on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, instead of leaving after their relief effort, they started a church in the desolation.
Lagniappe Church is still there. Their goal? Nothing short of participation in the restoration of creation through the declaration and demonstration of the love of God.
Now, after Hurricane Gustav, in addition to rebuilding, Lagniappe is serving as a Red Cross shelter. Curt and Jean took some time from housing refugees and building houses to talk about their incredible story on this week's SBE. Use one of the options below to listen.
Visit Lagniappe online to find out how you can join them through volunteering, giving and prayer.
