Greetings!
Once again we are headed to New Orleans during Mardi Gras to take the Gospel to the thousands of people who will be visiting New Orleans from all over the world. If God has been speaking to you about our nation, there are few opportunities that will allow you to be immersed in sharing your faith and ministering to the lost.
Will this be the year you join us?
Two years ago we saw the Lord enter us into a completely new harvest field. We spent much of our time with dozens of homeless young people who were very receptive to the Gospel. We plan on ministering to many of them again as well as seeking out new homeless young people who will be visiting New Orleans for the first time, just because of Mardi Gras. If you join us this year, you will be amazed at what you see God do as we seek out the hurting and troubled in the alleys and abandoned homes of one of the most poverty and crime infested neighborhoods in America. As always, you can expect significant opportunities to share your faith on Bourbon Street in the evenings, and in the neighborhood surrounding Abiding Temple during the day.
We plan on leaving Flower Mound, Texas, Thursday, February 7 at 7:00am and returning Wednesday February 13 around 8:00pm. The cost this year will be $400.00 and will include all transportation, room and board, and about 15 of the 21 meals. You will need at least $60.00-$100.00 for spending money throughout the week. as well. The $400.00 is due no later than January 26th. For those of you who cannot come for the entire week and plan on using your own transportation or plan on flying in, the cost is $320.00.
For those of you who are local to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area we ask that you attend our prayer and planning meetings, which will be announced shortly.
How can you help us get ready?
Whether you are able or unable to join us this year, we ask that you prayerfully consider the following needs:
- Sponsor someone. As a ministry committed to helping place believers on the front line, we have supported countless individuals over the years. Your aid in this area means we have greater freedom in using our funds for ministry and supplies.
- Donate towards food & supplies. Donations are welcomed and needed as we plan on passing out thousands of tracks and feeding hundreds throughout the week. You can make a donation today by clicking on the “Make a Donation” button at the top right which will allow you to donate through PayPal. If you would prefer to mail a check or even Wal-Mart gift cards that we can use to purchase food when we arrive, you can do so to:
Executing His Word
PO Box 294245
Lewisville, TX 75029 - PRAY. PRAY. PRAY. Although the financial needs are great for a mission trip like this, we must have fellow laborers praying now and during the trip. Please commit to praying for divine appointments, health and safety of our team, and that we would have an abundance of everything we need so that we can accomplish everything the Lord has for us.
This will be an extraordinary opportunity to share the Gospel. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
