We have been praying for over a year that God would align our hearts with His—so that we might elevate Gospel hope for the flourishing of our neighborhoods, New Orleans, and all nations. One way this prayer is taking shape is through a focused initiative: Loving Our Neighbors.

Flourishing disciples love God by loving their neighbors. To grow in this aspect of discipleship, we are committing to step outside our own neighborhoods at least four times a year, engaging in a three-pronged approach: 1) Praying, 2) Serving, and 3) Sharing the Gospel.

In partnership with local churches in each neighborhood, we engage—because flourishing disciples also love God by loving the Church—we focus our efforts over a three-month period. During this time, we pray, serve, and share the Gospel together in that specific community. In May, June, and July we’ll focus on Kenner and partner with La Viña Iglesia Bautista Hispana and Pastor Geovany Gomez.
