First Impressions

First Impressions

Many on our team are first-timers to Port Sulpher. We asked them to respond to the following:

"You've heard about Port Sulpher many times over the past year. What were your first impressions when you arrived?"

BRAD PARKER--Totally not what I expected when we arrived in Port Sulpher. There was a lack of anything, not much debris anywhere. There are alot of trailers on top of concrete pads. Its pretty desolate.

STEPHEN WOOD--Suprised to see buildings that are still caved in. People talk about it and you think you have an idea what its like. But you really have no idea till you see.

HOLLY HEDRICK--When we drove by the school, it was completely gone. I thought about my school and imagined us being the same way.

ANNA FOWLER--I expected alot of what i've seen--small houses and trailers. I'm really impressed with peoples' connection to the area and how badly they wanted to stay even in the conditions they have to live in.

CHRIS MYER--Port Sulpher is way beyond what I ever imagined. It is unfathomable all the destruction that has occurred here. But what has really got me is the amount of courage these people have to return to nothing. I am honored to be around such amazing and humble people.

hey guys. I'm glad to hear that you guys made it there, although I'll have a moment of silence for trailer. (silence) Anyways, it's good to see that you guys are able to be reflective of the state that the area is in. God is using you and that is completely awesome. Share His love and watch how He works. Miss you guys!
