Mission Trip Begins

4:30am
Union Baptist Church sends 36 members of it's congregation to New Orleans on a dark, muggy morning. Seeing the missionaries off were at least 38 people (and one canine). While it was difficult to pack vans, and make sure everyone was where they needed to be (while still trying to wake up) the excitement was evident.

From a "left behind" point of view it was sad to see everyone go but know that we will be there with them as a congregation while they are here with us in spirit and in prayer.

Good luck missionaries and God bless!

  1. From someone being packed up and sent off, it was very exciting! To have everyone show up at 4:00 in the morning was very energizing and empowering!! Thanks to all who were there in body and those who wanted to be and were there in thought! Thanks for supporting us!!
