New Orleans is a city where physical reconstruction has outpaced emotional reconstruction, following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. People who are overwhelmed and/or struggling with depression can be found in every racial and economic category.
Inevitably on a NOLA project, the Lord often guides us to specific people. He has shown little concern for their class or race, and we have found ourselves working in middle-class neighborhoods as well as in the inner city.
Your ministry here, just like Katrina itself, might impact people from all walks of life. We are able to help those who are broken restore their lives and homes through sharing the hope of Christ with them.
We have found that the Lord has used prayer walks to lead us to the many of the work/ministry sites in the city. There is still much to be rebuilt physically, as well as spiritually, in this devastated area.
