Rise Up & Build...

    Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me...
    And they said, "Let us rise up and build."








    So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
    Nehemiah 2:18

    Rise Up & Build mission trips helped  rebuild houses damaged by
    Hurricane Katrina in 2005.  

    Coordinated by Lutheran Disaster Response ND, people from North
    Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Minnesota took tools, hands and
    hearts to several areas in the Gulf Coast to bring healing, help and hope
    to the area.

    Paying for their own expenses to travel to the areas, volunteers lodged in
    volunteer camps.  Food and transportation were provided through
    Lutheran Disaster Response ND.  Mission trips were coordinated in
    2006, 2007 and 2008.

    Grand totals of 14 weeks of Mission Trips over 3 years:
                                                            578 volunteers
                                                            28,739 hours
                            $511,835.33 is the value of service given

    2006 = Biloxi, Mississippi and Lake Wales, Florida
    2007 = Ocean Springs, Mississippi
    2008 = New Orleans, Louisiana

    *** In the 2011 flooding in North Dakota, 6 men from Louisiana came to "cut and muck" in
    Minot, stating they were "returning the favor".
