254 professions of faith at MissionLab New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans can be an intimidating place to share the gospel, even for a seasoned evangelist. This summer nearly 1,500 Christian teens and their leaders put their fears aside and found receptive hearts during MissionLab New Orleans. “Miracles abound at MissionLab,” said Darrell Lindsey, director of the missions initiative at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. “I think it is because the need is great in New Orleans and God just chooses to bless us here.” A total of 1,477 youth and sponsors experienced urban missions firsthand at 49 different mission sites in the New Orleans metro area. Through their witness and service, 254 people made professions of faith during the seven-week summer program sponsored by the seminary.
