LONG-TERM GULF COAST RECOVERY EFFORT

Hurricane Katrina will be remembered as one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the United States. She left a path of destruction 200 miles wide that ran deep into the heart of our nation. Hundreds of lives were lost, millions displaced, and damage ran well into the billions.

Today, parts of the Gulf Coast still look exactly as they did the day after the storm. Tens of thousands are still struggling to rebuild their lives. And opportunities to share God's love with the victims of Katrina will exist for years to come.

Forward Edge is playing a vital role in the long-term Gulf Coast recovery effort-and you can be a part! To date, more than 1,000 FEI volunteers have served in the Gulf Coast-helping the poor and elderly return to their homes, and repairing damaged church buildings. Several anonymous donors have supported FEI to pursue this vision by providing a one million dollar matching grant, with 100% of the funds going to the need.

We invite you to participate firsthand in the long-term Gulf Coast recovery effort. You-or a group of 10 or more from your church, campus fellowship or business-can serve with FEI for 7-10 days in the disaster zone. Forward Edge has full-time field coordinators living in the Gulf Coast, and handles the on-site food, lodging, and transportation logistics for incoming teams.
