The mission to help New Orleans reconstruction stretched our faith, showed us new ways to utilize our gifts, and gave us a fresh perspective of our country by moving us out of our community comfort zone. The trip was a work week with evening revival meetings, and some time for sightseeing.During the trip we
• Met pastors and believers in and around hard-hit areas and discovered the joys and challenges of ministry there
• Visited sites teeming with inspiration, and discovered that "the soul is waterproof"
• Served believers and the lost community in a construction project and praying over their home, church and city
About a dozen people departed Monday, June 9th and returned Saturday, June 14th. We partnered with the Laymen's Movement of the National Baptist Convention to assist with improvements, repairs, and reconstruction to areas of the lower Ninth Ward devastated by hurricane Katrina.
