Praises:
For an amazing summer serving alongside 240 volunteers and 10 interns. God allowed us to serve in 4 neighborhoods and pray over them. We are excited that 10 years after Hurricane Katrina, God is still using this storm to transform lives with the Gospel.

We pray Matt 9:38 - Ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up workers for His harvest field. We need more volunteer teams during our slower seasons, fall and winter. Please pray for the interns God will bring to us next year.
