notes: Redeemer is hosting missions teams which are helping rebuild New Orleans. If your church would like to participate, please contactL Contact: Shane Gibson, MDiv., ministry intern at: 504-894-1204, or Catherine at: RedeemerRelief@gmail.com So far through June 2007, mission teams hosted by Redeemer have gutted and/or rebuilt more than 200 homes in New Orleans. Redeemer has recruited, hosted, equipped, and supervised 80 teams. ARE THERE STILL HOMES TO WORK ON? 80% of the city of New Orleans was flooded in Aug 2005. 172,000 of 215,000 homes were damaged. This amounts to several times more than the entire rest of the Gulf Region combined. Habitat for Humanity (the finest organization of its kind) has built a less than 172,000 homes nationwide in its first 25 years, so you can see our task is huge. Another way of looking at it ? there are 520 licensed contractors in New Orleans, so at even ten homes per contractor it would still take them 35 years to rebuild! CAN NON-PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES COME? YES! The majority of teams have come from Presbyterian churches, but we have hosted groups from 8 other denominations thus far. This is a project where we can celebrate the unity of the Church. DO WE NEED TO BRING TOOLS? We have lots of basic tools, stored in an enclosed trailer we own. We hope to acquire a 2nd trailer by August. If you will be doing specialty work, you may need to bring those tools. DO WE NEED TO PACK BEDDING? Beds (mattresses, bunk beds, or air mattresses) and pillows are provided, but it helps if you can bring your own towels, sleeping bags, and sheets. If you use the extras we provide, please wash them before you leave. HOW MANY HOUSES HAVE YOU WORKED ON? Through June 2007 the number exceeds 200. Some of these we have practically rebuilt completely, but most have involved just gutting and/or drywalling. In the future we hope to work on less homes, but to do more for each home. DO WE NEED INSURANCE? Yes, please secure this. And we have waiver forms for you and the homeowners to sign as well. WILL WE GET TO MEET PEOPLE AT THE CHURCH? Most groups come Sat. to Fri. and thus worship with us Sunday. Often we have a potluck, or members will go to lunch with the teams after worship. We also host a party for the teams, parishoners, and homeowners most every Thursday night. HOW DO YOU SELECT WHICH HOMES TO REPAIR? We started off by helping members hit hard by the storms. From there we worked on friends of members. Now we find homes mostly through word of mouth, or referrals from other organizations. We maintain a waiting list, and give priority to those worst hurt, and those closest to our neighborhood. WHERE ARE THESE HOMES? We generally confine our work to New Orleans city limits. We give priority to homes in our Uptown neighborhood, but many that we?ve helped have been in Broadmoor, Lakeview or Gentilly neighborhoods. -> Redeemer is hosting missions teams which are helping rebuild New Orleans.

If you will be doing specialty work, you may need to bring those tools. DO WE NEED TO PACK BEDDING? Beds (mattresses, bunk beds, or air mattresses) and pillows are provided, but it helps if you can bring your own towels, sleeping bags, and sheets. If you use the extras we provide, please wash them before you leave. HOW MANY HOUSES HAVE YOU WORKED ON? Through June 2007 the number exceeds 200. Some of these we have practically rebuilt completely, but most have involved just gutting and/or drywalling. In the future we hope to work on less homes, but to do more for each home. DO WE NEED INSURANCE? Yes, please secure this. And we have waiver forms for you and the homeowners to sign as well. WILL WE GET TO MEET PEOPLE AT THE CHURCH? Most groups come Sat. to Fri. and thus worship with us Sunday. Often we have a potluck, or members will go to lunch with the teams after worship. We also host a party for the teams, parishoners, and homeowners most every Thursday night. HOW DO YOU SELECT WHICH HOMES TO REPAIR? We started off by helping members hit hard by the storms. From there we worked on friends of members. Now we find homes mostly through word of mouth, or referrals from other organizations. We maintain a waiting list, and give priority to those worst hurt, and those closest to our neighborhood. WHERE ARE THESE HOMES? We generally confine our work to New Orleans city limits. We give priority to homes in our Uptown neighborhood, but many that we’ve helped have been in Broadmoor, Lakeview or Gentilly neighborhoods.
