Recently, while attending one of Governor Christie's Town Hall meetings in Belmar, NJ, I introduced myself to the young lady sitting next to me. As is the case with many folks, her Sandy-damaged home is still in need of repairs. I let her know that a volunteer team from Blue Bell, PA would be here in May and would be able to come alongside her as she prepares to elevate her home with a REMM grant from FEMA and the State of New Jersey. That team of ten wonderful hard workers came and went, leaving hope in her heart. Half of the team worked to get the first floor gutted to the studs and ready for the next stage. The other half of the team went to a home in Brielle, NJ. They spent their week painting the interior of a cute little beach cottage. I am working with our ABC churches and our community partners to welcome our teams for ABCNJ/ABHMS 2014 “Rebuild • Restore • Renew” Work Weeks. I would ask you to prayerfully consider joining us in Manasquan July 12-19 or in the Atlantic City area August 9-16 as we bring physical help and spiritual healing.
