The Biggest Event in America This November

Turn on the T.V. some time today and you're almost guaranteed hyped up media coverage of our current presidential slug-fest. Depending on who you listen to, the fate of the world depends on the outcome of this election. So much attention, emphasis, and importance has been given to the presidential race that the biggest potential event in America this November is going largely unnoticed. What could this possibly be? I'm glad you asked. This November 8 & 9, New Orleans will be hosting Crossover, a city-wide evangelistic emphasis that will precede the annual meeting of the Louisiana Baptist Convention. Crossover will feature three Restoration Fests located in some of the city's at-risk communities. There will also be a large outreach to our Hispanic community as well as smaller events that target the outlying regions of Greater New Orleans. Crossover has but one goal, the reconciliation of New Orleans to God through Christ. Can you imagine that? God can and He is able to see it through. A New Orleans for Jesus is of far greater significance for the Kingdom and to our nation than who sits in the oval office come January. A New Orleans for Jesus can impact our culture in ways we cannot imagine. Instead of people coming to New Orleans to reach the city, imagine New Orleans going out to reach a lost world. This is all within the realm of reality for our Great God and Crossover can be the catalyst for just such a transformation. Please join me in prayer for Crossover and our city. Check back to this site for updates or become a Crossover New Orleans fan on Facebook. Better yet, come and participate in what God has planned for November 8 & 9.
