Home >> WLC Response to Hurricane Katrina >> Team 10
As our 200th + team member hits the road, these generous servants
of the Lord have logged a combined 500,000 road miles and donated
more than three years full-time equivalent (6,400 hours) of service
to the residents of Ocean Springs. To God be the glory for the response
to this ministry!
Team 10 leaves in staggered starts Friday and Saturday, with Mike
Hunst and Stan Bomsta leading the group. Wives Vicki and Gloria will
serve as spiritual directors. Please keep Stan and Gloria in your
prayers as they first attend the funeral of Stan's brother-in-law
on Saturday.
The team includes JoAnne Schaffer, LeAnn Radel, Ron Linden, Jean
Luebker, Allison Vercauteren, Emily Grahavac, Luke Ruland, Donna
Schiltz, Sandi Lindstrom, Theresa Ingram, Melissa Cornwell, Emily
Lott, Nancy Burns, John Strharsky, David Urbaniak, Sam Keul and Gary
Gibson. Also on the team are servants from First Presbyterian in
Stillwater -- Russ Cummings, Ray and Betty Roemmich, Louis and Carol
Winslow, Todd Williams, Steve Spark and Bill White. The team will
be joined on the road by Rod Lowther from St. Andrew, our host church
in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and Connie and Lindsey Butorac from
Trinity, our host church in Bloomington, Illinois.
Also traveling to Ocean Springs to work at the Methodist camp next
week are two student groups with WLC connections. These 60 students
are led by WLC member Cortney Kenow Heerwald serving in mission at
the University of Minnesota Duluth Chi Alpha and Team 5 member Rebecca
Lehmer (read
her blog here) leading a group from the University of
Minnesota sponsored by Christian Student Fellowship (and brilliantly
trained by WLC member Bob Holland on dry wall installation). Blessings
on their travel and their work week, as well.
Whew! It'll promises to be quite a week in Ocean Springs as Christ
army's from the cold north marches into the South!
