Waaaaay back in the year 2008, Sobie Serpe fearlessly led a crew of (somewhat) unskilled workers through the process of replacing the roof on a church building severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina. This church building by the name of Spirit of Praise was destined to become a light in the community of the 9th Ward of New Orleans. Post Katrina, Spirit of Praise was no longer able to function as a church and the building was given to another entity to be used in whatever way the Lord directed. Now, two years later, the roof is in need of some touch-up repairs, and the wheels of Elan Ministries are turning to establish a community garden at Spirit of Praise, with plans for more programs and activities to develop. And who should be called upon to help us move forward in these endeavors? (da da da daaaaaaa) Sobie Serpe and his crew.

Sobie and the Williams Family and friends spent another week with HH2G this March. Not only did they repair the roof of the church, but also installed the drain pipes to harvest rain water for the future garden. In addition to the work on Spirit of Praise, the crew worked on the home of Mr. Desoto “Bobby” Jackson, who happens to be a lover of gardening himself. The team was able to line Desoto’s entire home with plastic lining, which prepared it for insulation and sheetrock. After the team left, I spoke with Desoto about his home, and he voiced (without my prompting :) how hard-working these team members were, and how much he appreciated their assistance. We at HH2G agree with Mr. Jackson, and would like to go further in thanking the New Covenant team for journeying again to New Orleans. Your presence here has brought both encouragement and joy to those you worked for. Thanks again!
