David and Rhonda have been faithful Christians and served their church for decades. Now David has stage 4 cancer and their spare money is going towards medical expenses. Bouncers repaired their fence so they could save some money. North Central Baptist Church is a multi-ethnic congregation that has been in its current location for almost 70 years. Harvey did some damage to their building, but they are getting it back in order a little at a time. They depend on volunteer labor and Bouncers painted five rooms for them saving them a good bit of time and making their building more enjoyable. Iglesia Bautista Tierra Prometida is a hispanic congregation whose food pantry was flooded by Harvey. They are working little by little to get it cleaned out. Bouncers helped carry out trash, tear out old flooring, and repaint the entire interior. Mr. Skipper, a Navy veteran also sustained home damage from Harvey. He too has to make repairs a little at a time and money allow. Bouncers painted his home and put a new roof on.
That is not all the good things that happened at Bounce. Some students walked neighborhoods praying for residents that they met. Others made more repairs. People from different churches and Christian agencies of all colors worked together to help one another. Black, white, and brown worked side by side to accomplish more than any individual could do alone. And here's the beauty of it all. This whole thing was a response to what Jesus has done for us!
If you prayed for us, gave money, sent your child, or supported Bounce in any other way you had a part in what God was doing in Houston last week. Thank you!
Here's a bit more.
