Casting the Vision for New Church Plants


On October 1 & 2, the Baptist Association of Greater New Orleans hosted a church planting vision tour which featured seven potential plant sites. Pastors from Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Maryland, and others came to hear directly from the strategist working on the plants and to see first hand the community where these efforts are being made. This event was different than the typical large group bus tour where individuals are asked to consider if and where God might lead them to plant a church. This tour started with seven actual proposals where the sites have been determined and demographic surveys conducted. This was the only tour that I've been on since Katrina that took and optimistic look at the devastation and real possibility of what God can and wants to do in the Greater New Orleans area. If you would like more info about these potential church plants and how you or your church and be involved, please get in touch with me. These church plants are a very important part of the spiritual transformation of our city.
