All Ready to Go

Well...the preparation is complete and we are ready to head out. We just finished our last meeting and the next time the team will be together will be at 4:30am on Saturday morning. We will load the bus and be on the road by 5am, putting us into New Orleans around midnight.

Thank you so much for your financial and prayer support so far, but we covet your prayer now during our travel and service. Pray that God would move within each of us, giving us the strength we need for the tasks ahead. Pray that we would come back to Sioux Falls as changed people, ready to work for justice here, in our families, neighborhoods, and cities.

Keep coming back here each day for updates from the team as to the ongoings of the day and what God is teaching us. See you soon!!

New Orleans T-Shirts

Here is a picture of the t-shirts
that we will be wearing during
our time in New Orleans to unify
our group and let others see our
cause. Thought you might want
to see what they look like.

A Huge Thank-You

I am writing on behalf of the New Orleans Mission Team to thank Asbury UMC for their incredible generosity. We are so thankful for your financial support throughout our fund raising process. The New Orleans Dinner was the most successful fundraiser we have done during Jason's stint as youth director and it is all due to the wonderful people of Asbury.

We are also thankful for your support through prayer. Know that this is the most important way that you can support the team during our trip. We will need your intercession on our behalf if we are to accomplish anything for the Kingdom of God. There is a 12-Hour Prayer Vigil from 5am-5pm on Saturday, May 31 so you can be praying for us as we travel from Sioux Falls to New Orleans. Please sign up at Asbury to a part of this exciting opportunity.

Finally, we thank you for your donation of foods that we will need during our time in New Orleans. Without your generosity, this trip would be too expensive for many of us, so thank you.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

We are so glad you found this site and we invite you to keep coming back. The purpose of this site is to keep Asbury UMC in Sioux Falls, SD and its friends informed as to the ongoings of missions at Asbury. This site may be used during the course of the year in the future, but for now will primarily be used during Asbury's upcoming trip to New Orleans.

While we are in New Orleans from May 31-June 8, 2008, we will be writing daily to keep our church family informed as to the daily ongoings of our team. Check in daily during our trip to find out what we're up to!
