KATRINA RELIEF MISSION 2008
The ASM Katrina Relief Team returned to New Orleans again this year, 61 members strong,  bringing the ASM spirit of service to others and
willingness to share the love of Jesus Christ. This years team left it's own mark on the people of the region.  We helped a local elementary school get
its new collection library books ready for the new school year.   We did interior demos of several homes, including a complete demo of a home in Port
Sulphur, LA to the ground, which included salvaging as much of the reusable wood as we could.  This trip also included helping a local organization
with distribution and installation of compact fluorescent lights to a variety of New Orleans residents, allowing us a wonderful opportunity to get out
and talk to people.  As a special treat, our team was featured in a news story for a local TV station.
Van Driver Tribute Video - New Orleans 2008
As the van drivers were using walkie talkies to communicate with while we were caravaning
around the New Orleans region,  we quickly adopted nicknames for each driver with a Top Gun
movie theme flavor.  Using that as a guide this driver tribute was created.  Enjoy!   
KATRINA RELIEF MISSION 2009
The 50 member ASM Katrina Relief Team returned to New Orleans to continue with the groundwork laid during the three prior years.   The big
change this year was the switch from demolition to rebuilding.  We did everything from installing drywall, mudding and taping, painting, building
staircases, installing doors, and laying tile.   While also cleaning some yards, doing exterior finish work, and also prepping a site for pouring concrete
sidewalks and driveways.   When there was some free time at a given site, team members headed out into the neighborhoods, to talk with the
residents about their experiences during the storm, while also taking opportunities to discuss the Gospel.  A new set of terrific memories from our
adventure in the Big Easy.
