Mission: New Orleans – Day 4
Today we set off on another adventure, full of serving our Lord. We headed out today at 7:15 a.m. ready for the last day ahead of us and to give it all we had left. Looking at this week and the mindset I had before leaving the Noke I was a little unsure of how this trip would go, to be honest I thought this trip was going to be just like a vacation, a social event full of play and some work and not really a “God thing”. Well I was completely wrong; God’s presence on this trip was unbelievable, each day was unique and such a beautiful experience of meeting new people, serving others, good times full of good people, and bringing glory to God above everything else. When I look back at everything today and through out the week I get a huge smile on my face thinking about how amazing our God is and what a great opportunity He has given us. God provided, taught, and loved all of us this week. Our God is amazing, just sayin’.

At the beginning I came in not knowing anyone. I really didn’t know what to expect because I never have done anything like this before. Through out the week I got to know a bunch of people and really felt like I belonged. The best moment that I had was when we all we singing on the dock by the Mississippi River and right then it really hit me that I was surrounded by loving and caring people and we were all there to praise God for this wonderful opportunity. I was never really close with my church back home and making this trip to New Orleans has opened my eyes and my relationship with God. This has definitely been the highlight of my summer and I will keep in touch with all the new friends I have met through Rhythm…
P.S. The last day we all had crawfish and they were in the words of Joe Hine “they were BOMBIN”

This is my second time coming to New Orleans with Rhythm. I just want to tell you all that this is ultimately the best week I have had here. The people of New Orleans are so grateful that we are here to help rebuild their community. Its been a great week to get closer to God but also a great week to show Gods love. One of the nights we were down here we went downtown and worshiped on the dock and I noticed a guy who was on the bench not too far from us; and he started tapping his foot to the beat. After a couple of minutes he came closer and sat right beside us and I could tell he really enjoyed us being there. Its such a great feeling to see people smile when they have gone through so much. I cant wait to get back and share the awesome love of Jesus and share the wonderful stories I have experienced here in New Orleans!
