The Weather Channel covered the Lagniappe Presbyterian Church (PCA) of Bay St. Louis and its valuable ministry activity. The church not only serves the hurricane-ravaged Mississippi Gulf Coast, but it also was born amidst the disaster, being formed as it ministered to the coastal area. The church has helped manage the activities of nearly 7000 volunteers and continues to help build houses and do other reconstruction efforts. The video below contains footage of an interview with Pastor Jean Larroux who describes the work they are doing. Thanks go to readers who sent us this clip. The segment aired on June 5, 2007.
