Final Day of Blitz Build Construction

Today is the final day of construction for the four-week Blitz Build in Kaplan, Louisiana.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who gave of their time and resources to participate in the build! Because of your help, six families are closer to having homes of their own after suffering the devastating effects of Hurricane Rita.

Thanks also to the BWA Global Impact Churches that, along with Baptist World Aid, contributed money to help fund the construction of the houses. Thanks First Baptist Church of Wilmington, North Carolina, Columbia Baptist Church in Falls Church, Virginia, and Seventh & James Baptist Church, in Waco, Texas!

The six homes will be dedicated tomorrow morning at a special ceremony held at the new Remington Road subdivision. Julie Justus, who works for the Baptist World Alliance, will participate in the dedication service.

Check back on Monday for photos from the dedication service as well as photos of the houses as they stand at the end of week four!
