OK2K Mission Trips

Operation Kid to Kid, New Orleans - November 8-13, 2009

Join VBS Senior Editor Jody Brolsma to serve children impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

Yes, there is still much to be done in New Orleans after the nation's largest natural disaster. You saw the horror of Hurricane Katrina where over 1,500 people died. But did you know Christians have led the way, quietly rebuilding and cleaning up after the disaster? And now you can help minister to the children of the 7th Ward--where flooding caused massive destruction. Take your passion for Jesus to kids who have lived through challenging times. This trip is open to you and your team, but space is very limited.

Your trip to New Orleans is organized by Lifetree Adventures. Our service will include painting, cleanup and repair of a volunteer center and homes in the 7th Ward. So come prepared to work--and to connect with kids afterschool. See the direct impact of your church's Kid-to-Kid Comfort Critter gift of love. Bring them with you to distribute! You'll help these children know the love of Jesus, and your heart will be moved by how God works through adversity.

While you're in New Orleans, you'll learn about the unique culture of this battered city. Discover fun foods: Creole, Cajun, beignets, po'boys, muffulettas. If you're lucky you'll hear a Cajun French or English Cajun conversation. It'll be a fun trip of service while experiencing a unique culture within the United States.

Plan now to connect with Jody and reach out with love to the kids and families of New Orleans, November 8-13, 2009.
