We had eighteen members on our team but none of them had work in the construction business. Jamie had done this type of work in the past and he had good work skill and knowledge. Gladys was also a great blessing to our team. Mark August 5 t h on your calendar as the Lord's day on which we will have our third special outreach contribution for 2001. Our goal is to equal our weekly budget amount in the special contribution.
Immeasurable good is done each year by the funds set aside in the special outreach contribution.
Further help for earthquake victims was sent in the form of clothing, food and other essentials. There is still much to do in that earthquake ravaged Country. After devastating earthquakes, funds from our special outreach contributions were sent to El Salvador to assist with the rebuilding of the homes of relatives of our some of our own Katy members. More recently, Jamie and Gladys Mejia, whose families live in El Salvador, went there to help with rebuilding efforts. Once again, funds from the outreach contributions helped with this work.
