We had a bit of a delay in the morning do to a alarm clock malfunction (we won't say by who, unless you ask). We left Memphis and safely arrived in New Orleans at 2:45 PM. We went through a brief orientation with the Urban Impact interns. Then it was off to the RiverWalk and the historic French Quarter. We enjoyed some Beignets at Cafe Du Monde and stopped for a brief supper before meeting up with the other teams from Michigan & Colorado back at CastleRock Community Church.
Everyone is pretty excited! We met the all the interns and learned some of the new cheers that we will be doing. We will spend most of the day on Sunday in training.
Prayer Items: 1) Pray for the team to remember the things that learn at the training times and are able to put them into practice throughout the week. 2) Pray for a good amount of sleep, we will be early to bed 10 PM and early to rise 6 AM. 3) Pray for safety as we training and work on several projects through out the Central City of New Orleans.

Thrilled to hear that you made it safe. My prayers are with you as you train tomorrow (Sunday).

Hey ya'll,
Pastor Jim gave us a a great challenge in his last sermon this morning: A match can't light a candle unless it's burning -- are we "lit," are we on fire for the Lord? If not, we can never expect others to "catch" the fire! Our prayer for you is that you'll all spontaneously ignite in love for and worship of our great Lord and King. What a bonfire that would be! May you start a wild fire in New Orleans!!

Hi Guys!
You all have been in my thoughts and prayers. I have been praying for changed hearts as you are seeing a whole different side of life. Let HIM shine through as you minister this week.
We miss you, Ashley! Danny said he knows you are gone because the phone is NOT ringing off the hook. Imagine that!
Have a great first day doing VBS!
TT - Mr. Curtis and I are praying for you!
Blessings! Julie Curtis
Hey Dave & Team:
We are praying for you from the midpoint between the cities and nawlins. My guess is that the alarm clock malfunction was in the room of the guy who thinks 10:00 am is early! Just a guess. Please greet John and Miss Joan for me.
