Burlington, ND

It has been a very busy spring for us. The entire crew is here and we have started the Mission Builder project for this year.
We are in Burlington, ND which is about 10 miles northwest of Minot, ND. The church we will be working on this year is Peace Lutheran. The building sustained damage to the basement in last years' flooding in the Minot area. The entire basement had to be gutted, mucked out, sanitized, and the members of Peace decided not to rebuild the rooms in the basement, instead they will be adding about 5500 sq. ft. to the building to replace the classrooms and office space lost in the flood. Members were telling us that the water level in the basement was within a couple inches of getting into the floor joists. As devastating as that is, they are thankful they can still use their building. Thousands of homes and business were total losses and are in the process of rebuilding and many have just abandon their homes and moved on.
The project here at Peace is off to a slow start so we are working in the community helping others who have been qualified to receive help through Lutheran Disaster Response.
