The Big One

This coming October 27 will be our fifth and largest WMU/BAGNO sponsored prayer walk. For this event, the Louisiana and Alabama WMU have come together to lift up a specific part of New Orleans in prayer. Early in the post Katrina process, we divided the association in to zones for better strategic focus and Alabama Baptist adopted what is known as Zone 6. This zone falls in a part of our association that needs to be rebuilt physically and spiritually. Zone 6 has only two evangelical churches and they are struggling greatly. This zone is the most like a foreign mission field out of any other in our association. We are having to start at zero in many ways. Therefore, this zone is in desperate need of prayer. The WMU of Louisiana and Alabama have responded to this need and will be putting their feet to the streets the weekend of the 27th. As an evangelism strategist, I can't see us moving forward in Zone 6 without first laying a foundation of prayer. This will be the beginning of the work that is to come.
