Vineyard USA talks to Ken and Jodi Hanning, Vineyard church planters in Galveston, Texas.

Ken and Jodi Hanning planted a church Galveston, Texas, just months before Hurricane Ike devastated the island in September 2008. With help from the Vineyard Mercy Response Team, the Hannings are serving the needy in their fledgling congregation and their community - even as they rethink their church planting strategies.
