About My Church Plant

New Orleans has held a special place in our hearts since our service in student ministry on the Northshore. There we fell in love with the people of southern Louisiana and the unique culture of New Orleans (NOLA), specifically.

Because NOLA is a historically difficult city for planters to gain traction in, we intend to employ an entrepreneurial church plant (ECP) model and lead out in mission through the marketplace. This model will meet needs in our community, provide sustainable income for the mission and will help us “earn the right to be heard.”

Our discipleship strategy will allow us to provide coaching and resources for under-resourced citizens who want to develop their own businesses. We don’t want to just “teach people to fish,” we want to help them buy their own pond, thus opening the possibility of multiplying ECP churches.

NAMB Church Planting

Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.

Pray

We will encounter many difficulties in New Orleans, including injustice, building trust and meaningful relationships across racial lines and funding, to name a few. Pray that the Lord of the Harvest, who is sending us out as workers into the harvest will supply all our needs according to His will.
