Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
Here is an update, request for more workers and continuing prayers. We need more workers!!! There are five more teams gathering to go. Ellie Menz from Iowa District West, our partner with the relief effort, has sent the following information including dates of the five teams that are going to help in Louisiana.

Greetings,
Thanks to the many teams from Iowa District West and East who have donated time, talents and money to help rebuild homes and lives of many in the Louisiana area!! We have been able to change the lives of many but there is soooo much to do. I understand that 850,000 homes were destroyed.
I am currently working with five more teams who will be going to help in Louisiana. Dates are June 18-23, July 13-21, July 8-15, August 7-11 and one that the date is not finalized. WE NEED MORE WORKERS!!! You can set your own dates and there is no set amount of people per team. An individual can go or teams can go.
If you can not go to help, money is needed for the building supplies. Checks can be written and sent to Iowa District West or Iowa District East. You may indicate on your check that you want it to be used for building supplies.
Please share the need and contact me at ellie.menz@idwlcms.org or 515-386-8420. I will work with you to make the arrangements. Remember, the food and lodging is provided for the volunteers.
God’s Blessings,
Ellie Menz
Iowa District West, IOWAY Director
