New Orleans mission trip story 2023: At Feed the Multitudes this year, I was really reminded of the importance of ministry. In past years I was extremely work focused and I was consistently running to do this and that but this year I was able to sit with multiple families and individual people and just talk and pray with them. And outta that I was able to see so much joy and appreciation for the simple fact of being listened to and heard. While the work aspect is greatly needed so is the personal ministry. - the youth pictured above may not be the person who wrote a portion of this story.
