What Will We Do? Our team will leave Calvary early on Saturday, June 27, and make the 15-hour drive to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where we’ll get settled into our dorm rooms.
On Sunday, we’ll attend church together, enjoy lunch, and spend the afternoon sightseeing. The mission week officially begins that evening with dinner and worship.
On Monday morning, we’ll start with missions training before heading to our first ministry site. From Tuesday through Thursday, the team will serve at one ministry site in the morning and another in the afternoon. Each evening, we’ll gather with other teams for dinner and worship.
On Friday, we’ll check out of the dorms, share breakfast together at a local restaurant, and begin the drive back to Indiana. Depending on the team’s needs, we may stay overnight in a hotel on Friday and complete the trip home on Saturday.
