For three days, Margaret Gambill, Nancy Gambill, Dennis Higgins and I worked along side homeowners, a mission team from Des Moines and former First Christian youth minister Tom Felts in reclaiming two homes in Iowa.
Floods in June of this year have still unsettled many residents. Water levels in the two homes ranmged from 3 feet to 7.5 feet. While neighborhoods look fairly normal (save piles of debris), many home interiors are still stripped to bare studs. Many residents wait for funds and labor to secure homes before winter.
Here are a few photos. Thank you for your continued support of First Christian Church mission teams.

I grew up in an area of Ky that experienced floods and usually had a major one about every 10 or 12 years. The cleanup was smelly, backbreaking work. It was always uplifting when someone came to help with renewed energy enthusiasm and encouragement. We referred to them as angels of mercy.
Thank you Ed, Dennis, Nancy and Margaret for being the "angels of mercy" for two households in Iowa.
