is part of Ministry
August 29th, 2009 AdminThe stories of many Gulf Coast residents have had a life-altering impact on the ministering duo. One survivor affectionately known as Old Man Percy from the Point Cadet neighborhood in Biloxi received a travel trailer from FEMA. Buchhorn and Georgie visit Percy every time they return to the Gulf Coast. During their last visit, Percy kept repeating 575 Biloxi, Mississippi as he petted Georgie.
I finally asked him what he meant and he said thats my P.O. box. You make sure you send me my pictures of me and Georgie, relates Buchhorn. Here is a man who lost everything in the world. The fact that he wants pictures of him with Georgie speaks volumes.
Buchhorns Extra Mile ministry is centered on a Bible verse that charges people to extend themselves beyond what is expected to help those in need. If someone asks you to go one mile, you go two, says Buchhorn. When people dont know what to do, they do nothing. I am bound and determined to give people help and equip them so they will know what to do and they can go the extra mile to help.
Buchhorn plans to return to the Gulf Coast every month to continue his efforts. Georgie turns three this year and while the extra mile may seem like a big burden for such small shoulders, she makes it look effortless.
