HOPE CHURCH MISSION TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS, LA

New Orleans Mission Trip

We are heading back to the Crescent City from Wednesday, June 13th to Sunday, June 17th, 2012! We will be supporting our partner in ministry, Hope Church, June 13-17, 2012. We will be joining with other churches from around the country who are partnering with Southern Baptist congregations and church plants in the city of New Orleans to share Christ and encourage believers during this week. Below is a description of what we will be doing during the week.

Description

City Uprising is a 4-day mission event that connects with and loves the local church planter’s community. This event encompasses worship, community restoration projects, and outreach components. Each City Uprising is unique to the needs of the city and the church planter. In New Orleans, City Uprising participants will serve in city schools, manage a community 5K race to support a local cause, and participate in outreach activities.

Church Planter

Matt Tipton, Lead Paster of Hope Church. Matt & Elaine spent 4 years in New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina going to seminary and doing student ministry. In 2005 Katrina wrecked the seminary, their church, and all of their possessions. After five years away Matt, Elaine and their two kids (Anna Claire & David) moved back to New Orleans to plant Hope Church in a city that deeply needs the Hope of Jesus. The Tipton family is working to build relationships in the city, serve the needs of the city and share Gospel with those in the city that will hear.
