An Adventure Awaits You In New Orleans!
It takes far more than bricks and lumber to rebuild a devastated city.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans, striking a devastating blow to the livelihood of every resident. Nearly 80% of the city flooded, leaving a trail of destruction. Overnight, thousands of people became homeless and unemployed.
The nation rallied around relief efforts in the early days following the hurricane, but with each new calamity, national attention shifted further away from those whose lives were destroyed. Residents of New Orleans feel discarded, left only with their loneliness and depression.
You can help rebuild those lives and restore hope.
As you walk the streets of New Orleans with your prayer team, you will meet people who feel overwhelmed and abandoned. You’ll connect with these people’s pain as you listen to them share their stories. Your heart will break as you meet people of every race and class caught in a downward spiral of despair.
You can show them that God is faithful, even through the most impossible tragedies.
You can bring excitement for the future to the city’s youth as you connect through sports programs and share the hope and promise of Jesus with them. Your team will bring the provision of God to life as you serve food for the hungry that still struggle to get by.
You might also have an opportunity to absorb the unique flavor of New Orleans, visiting Bourbon Street. Whether it’s live jazz or etouffee you seek, you’ll find it during your stay.
The people of New Orleans are still suffering from Katrina’s wrath. Will you come help rebuild their lives?
