Missions at home

The call to missions is not just far away from home. In fact, it starts in our own backyard. The NOLA missions team is committed to serving here, in Delaware, as well as in New Orleans. That is why we partnered with the deacons at Glasgow Church for the "Judea Project." The Judea Project is an extreme home makeover for a family in Wilmington. When I first entered the house, there was nothing - no carpeting, no furniture, no beds, no dishes - nothing. Our team came in and patched the holes in the wall and painted the whole house. New flooring and carpeting is going in this week and furniture will be delivered soon. Here are few pictures from our day serving with the Judea Project.

2009 Mission to New Orleans!

Time has passed. The national focus and priorities have shifted. And yet, in New Orleans, there are still people desperate for hope, desperate for help.

Glasgow Church is responding to this call by going - in force and on a mission. This summer, over the course of two weeks, 50 people from Glasgow Church will be going to NOLA to serve. The first team in NOLA from June 27 through July 5. The second group will arrive July 3 and be there until July 11.

Pray that God would use us in amazing ways. As a team, we have committed to memorize Ephesians 3:14-21. In that passage, we read that God is able to do "infinitely more than we ever dare to ask or imagine." We are asking that God will do amazing things - infinitely greater things - than we can even imagine in and through us. Follow this site to see the pictures and read the stories from our trip. And finally, pray for us!
