THE HEART
New Orleans is a city of stories, but most of them aren’t the ones you’ve heard before. The world knows New Orleans as a place filled with sinners and endless parties, but the reality is that this city is filled with people living their day-to-day lives, trying to make ends meet, and in need of Christ. People there are full of personality. Spend any amount of time there and you’ll see just how beautiful the culture is.
THE DATES
March 10th – March 15th
THE PLAN
We will partner with a New Orleans based mission organization called Mission Lab. Mission Lab has been loving & serving the city of New Orleans in the name of Jesus since 2000. To learn more about Mission Lab you can visit them on their website at MissionLab.com
Our group will serve as a team throughout the trip, learning practical ways to express the love of Jesus to others while sharing a meaningful missions experience–an experience that will hopefully carry over into life back home.
THE FAQ:
- So what’s the cost?
The cost of the trip is $450. The covers food, lodging, transportation, and ministry needs as we serve the city of New Orleans.
- I’m not sure if I have what it takes to do a trip like this. How will you train us?
We will hold training meetings on support raising, evangelism, spiritual readiness, and everything else you will need to know to be fully prepared for this trip.

So what do you need to do…
- Pray – Ask the Lord if He desires for you to be a part of this trip. A good prayer might be, “Lord I am ready to go, but willing to stay.” The Lord will make it clear if you should be a part. If you are, then money and any other possible issues will not be a factor, because God will take care of those if He has called you to be a part.
