Impact New Orleans

After a year of praying, preparing, and training, we will mobilize more than 300 people for missions over the next 2 weeks in New Orleans!

M.U.D. Minsitries has built relationships with these local churches and pastors over the past several years that have allowed us to have the opportunity to serve along side them. Our ministries desire is not to be a flash in the pan, but to partner with churches that want to do God's Work, God's Way. We will be focused on serving and sharing the Gospel in over 15 different communities during our time in New Orleans.

I met with several Pastors earlier this year, and God is using some of these men in great ways. Of course, it is hard to see it from their position, it is easy for them to get discouraged. According to one pastor, "You do not see a lot of people responding but when a person does get saved...they are faithful." I met former drug dealers and prostitutes that had been converted on the streets of New Orleans. One former prostitute had been actively serving in her local church for over 15 years. She says that since she trusted Christ she has never been the same!

I understand that Jesus never saved anyone that He didn't change!!

Please take full advantage of this opportunity to pray for our mission team specifically. Each group has been trained in Biblical Evangelism and we will not use manipulative tactics to get numbers. Our confidence is rooted in the Gospel! We will share with over 1500 people over the next two weeks. Pray that they see their sin as exceedingly sinful and that the Holy Spirit would convict them and they would repent and trust Christ!! Christ is all they have!!

I will be preaching nightly and will be in a few churches that are planted in the Lower 9th Ward. This was the hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. Many homes are still in rubble and people are desperate. Pray that they will be desperate for Christ and that they will trust Him before it's eternally too late!!
