Volunteers meet for prayer and for a safety discussion at the beginning of the day
Ken Vaughn and Doug Jaeger of Columbia Baptist Church in Falls Church, Virginia, stand in front of the house that Columbia helped to fund. Ken and Doug spent the day working on this house that will be the future home of Annique Watson's family.
Annique and her three children, ages nine, six and three, were living with Annique's grandparents when Hurricane Rita hit and did damage to the home. Subsequent problems with mold and mildew forced them to relocate, and the family has been staying with friends in a mobile home, where the three children share a bedroom and Annique sleeps on the sofa. The family looks forward to moving into their new home soon.
