Vanessa Puleo of Led2Serve taking steps to rebuild Houston

In the days and weeks following Hurricane Harvey, St. John the Divine mobilized over 600 parishioners to serve the community and assist residents in cleanup and relief efforts. SJD has developed ongoing partnerships with other local organizations as we continue the work of disaster recovery, including World Vision, Faith Memorial Baptist Church in Houston’s Fifth Ward, and long-time partner Agape Development in the Third Ward.

St. John’s also recognizes the call felt by mission teams to serve in Houston. We are dedicating a portion of our facilities for dormitory use to house incoming teams from around the country who will be coming here to aid residents in their efforts to clean up and rebuild. SJD is partnering in this effort with Led2Serve, a non-profit organization which specializes in equipping, inspiring, and mobilizing mission teams. Led2Serve will offer customized Service Journeys to student and adult teams who will undertake meaningful community projects in Houston, using St. John the Divine as their ‘home base’. read more

SERVICE MISSION ~ JASPER, GA

What a super way to spend Valentine’s week! This team showed a lot of love to our partner camp in Jasper, Georgia. They installed new wood panelling on the walls of “Eagle Branch” at SharpTop Cove.

Project leaders helped to ensure that the team understood the scope of the work and also coached them during the week.
