(From the May 24, 2006 issue)
   Club Beyond, a military outreach ministry for teenagers on Ft. Benning, took two mission trips to Mississippi during this year's spring breaks. Mostly middle school students from Faith Middle School went the first week, and then all of the high school students were from Chattahoochee County High School the second week.
   The high school students went to Gulfport and worked for Youth for Christ, a prominent youth outreach ministry there. They stayed for five days and worked in Pass Christian, Gulfport and Pascagoula.
   Much of what they did was clean up houses that had been damaged during Hurricane Katrina. From floodwaters rising over seven feet in one house to trees falling on and ruining the roof on another, there was still much work to be done eight months after the hurricane.
   The students worked at God's Katrina Kitchen one day. The kitchen opened right after the hurricane hit and is still serving over 1,000 people a day. All food is donated from people across the country. There is also a distribution center next to the kitchen that acts as a free store for the residents of the area. Donations in the distribution center range from clothing to food and other necessities. Residents are able to come gather necessary items once per week.
