Frequently Asked Questions

Where Does the L4N Mission Go?

Through summer 2010 L4N focused on weekend mission trips to southeast Texas. With the completion of the "Rita Recovery" work in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area, L4N moved with "Disaster Recovery" to Galveston. As of November 2010 L4N is roofing in partnership with the Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church and the UMCOR team there helping the victims of the February 2009 tornadoes in southern Oklahoma.

Shall I Bring My Own Tools?

Only if you wish. We have tools enough for everyone. And, we will teach you how to use all the tools you will need.
