New Orleans mission trip...what a trip it was




Some pics and small comments about an amazing week!






We stayed 4 nights on campus at the

New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
what a beautiful place!









We preached as much as we could. Even with ice cream vendors!



This is a picture of some of the members of my team. We spent our second evening on the French Quarter in New Orleans. This was our fun night; preparing us for a hard working week.

We spent some time with some residents at an assisted living center. This was indeed an emotional experience. I pray our love and attention brought the King glory.









We spent most of our time cleaning destroyed lots from Hurricane Katrina. Many of our students were blessed by serving the city of New Orleans. What a mess.



We also took care of the physical as well as spiritual needs of the homeless people on the streets of New Orleans. We passed out hygene packs, clean shirts, and proclaimed the glorious Gospel. What a Savior.


We also found time to sit around and sign praises to our King.

This trip was indeed a blessing. I was amazed by the hard work from my team. They demonstrated a passion for proclaiming the excellencies of the ONE that set them free (read 1 Peter 2:9). My heart was enriched with praise by the service from my church. Please pray for missionlab as they minister to New Orleans. May that city be reached for Christ! Soli Deo Gloria!


Blessings,


Dave
