Current Purpose of this Website:
The current purpose of this section of our website is to promote awareness of the continued needs for assistance in the Gulf Coast region. As such we will continue to provide updates on this site - especially in the progress reports section. A secondary purpose is to help facilitate the networking of resources and donations to those in the affected region while offering encouragement and hope to Hurricane Katrina victims. To God be the glory!
Please be aware that the Gulf Coast Bible Camp is no longer functioning as a work camp. The main reason for this is that assistance has moved further inland into the affected areas as conditions have somewhat stabilized.
If you have a group who can not locate housing and wishes to check on the availability of the camp facilities please contact Ronnie Carter at rcarter@elmore.rr.com
If you are interested in assisting in this region and need more information please go directly to this link and make direct contact with any of those listed therein.
