2018 Team Presentation Speakers

2018 Presentation Speakers

It was a good year, a good trip, and a good presentation. 


Our leaders and some of our team shared of some of the logistics of our trip, but in the end, it was more about what we learned, experienced, and how we grew. 


Thanks to all the team members, including Chris H from OKC, and Paul and Denise coming in from Mississippi, and of course, our home church at evergreensgv.org 


Please keep our homeowners in your prayers, as we continue to pray for:


The Shipleys
Josh and Sarah and 
Miss Susan


And thanks for your continued prayer support and interest in our efforts to try and bless others because God has been so good to us, not only in providing these growing friendships and opportunities to serve, but to let us see firsthand God trying to care for people, even when using imperfect but willing people like us (and hopefully you too!).


Here’s a playlist of all the videos

SGVBuild 2018 – New Location, New Partner

2018-New Location, New Partner




For 2018, we will be serving in Denham Springs, LA, just outside of New Orleans,
and we will be partnering with ReachGlobal




In 2007, a small team from Evergreensgv.org partnered with Habitat for Humanity in Biloxi MS and we were known around our church as the “Katrina Team.” In 2015, in response to tornado devastation in Moore, OK, we felt led to serve in Oklahoma City, once again with Habitat for Humanity.
For 2018, our team feels called to Denham Springs to perform similar rebuilding/recovery construction work, but how we found our new partner is an interesting story .
Over the years, our annual trip has changed in where, who and sometimes even how we serve.
We’ve not always been building new houses, it’s sometimes been doing rebuild and repairs. Our team members have some repeats, but we have often a lot of new faces. Team membership has even grown to include our previous site supervisors from the Habitat affiliates that we befriended.
But we’ve always tried to serve where and how God was leading us, as Craig describes in the video. We prayerfully ask God to lead us, and then we try to have the confidence to take the next step in that direction.
This year, our steps take us into new territory, so we carefully steward your prayers and care, as we again partner with you, serving whomever and however God has in store for all of us, this time in Denham Springs.
