Each morning begins with chapel for praise and worship. Participants will learn from missionaries the how and why of Jesus’ commandment to go into all the world with the gospel.

Included in the costs are housing for six nights, three meals a day, snacks, daily bottled water, mission coordination, group meeting space, a T-shirt and Bible. Discounts are available for more than one from a congregation.

"New Orleans is much more like a foreign mission field than a typical city in the deep South of the United States," said Pastor Mike Horchak. "It is one of our own nation’s most strategic mission laboratories. This mission trip is a catalyst for life change." Please contact Mr. Horchak for an information packet.
