June 2006: Metairie, Louisiana Caring for the Caregivers
The first of two workshops donated for those ministering in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricanes was held near New Orleans in June. As one of the participants wrote us after the course, "We all came burdened by caring for others and left feeling refreshed to return to ministry in a new way. It was great to laugh together, to hear each one's sense of how God was working, and to be healed of some of the trauma — even as we face a new hurricane season." Click here to read more. The second Gulf Coast workshop will be held near Fairhope, Alabama, September 11 — 14. If you know of someone who should be considered for an invitation, please let us know.
