Welcome to the New Orleans Mission

"Volunteering at The New Orleans Mission, Lynhaven, and Giving Hope Retreat is so rewarding. I feel driven and directed by God to be a part of this ministry. I started by leading a women's bible study at Lynhaven, then serving lunch at the Giving Hope Retreat with my husband. Recently, I have been volunteering in the women's closet and serving lunch at the New Orleans campus. I have been able to pray with the homeless men and women under the bridge as we bring them meals and it is impactful. I get to see the miracle power of God working through this ministry each time I serve. I am blessed and humbled to be a part.
The New Orleans mission is a biblical ministry and I am impressed by all of the different aspects it provides. Mental health, physical health, meals, clothing and embracing God's word through every aspect so that each person sees their value through God's eyes and not the world.

"I am truly humbled by my work at the New Orleans Mission. I am not only able to serve my fellow man but to serve the Lord. We are to be keepers of all. I have been afforded an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life with a kind word, a smile, or speaking their name. The gifts that the men and women of the Mission have given me are insurmountable in my life. I have found a meaningful and holy way to spend my time. For all of this, I am truly grateful. God Bless."

"Because I am loved, I am called to give love. In every person I see on the street I see myself. I would want someone to really see me, to the point that I wouldn't go unnoticed, but someone would stop, have a conversation and really care about me. I want the best for each and every person I meet. I want them to know they are truly seen, known and loved.

"God drew me to the New Orleans Mission to volunteer and through that obedience, changed my life .I am now able to hire the men in the discipleship program to work at my company, Safari Car Wash. At Safari we provide a Christian work environment in which they can continue to feel safe and connected to God as well as learn real life skills. It started with me wanting to give back and touch a life but now I am touched each day as I get to be a part of the growth of the men and women who are now living for God, while working for a brighter future."
