Irvin Bell's Blog
Greetings from the Big Easy! / Nov 2, 08:52 AM
Hello everyone,
I apologize for not giving you a shout out much sooner. I’m not much of a “blogger”, however I do feel the need to share with you all the excitement & energy that God has poured into us here in NOLA. That’s New Orleans, LA for you non-cajuns.
This inaugural year has started off with 10 young adults (two teams) putting their best foot forward and digging deep into the fabric of the community. They’ve all started to build relationships with their neighbors, church members, and one another. Natives have been pouring love into the idea that these young people have sacrificed a year of their lives to serve the inhabitants of inner-city New Orleans. We are having an awesome time getting to know each other, while learning more about ourselves. Some of us had the opportunity to March in Jena, get involved in reconciliation programs (at church), witness jazz funerals, walk with God amongst the the majestic century old oaks of Audubon, and fill our soul with red beans & rice, jambalya, gumbo, po-boys and a host of other indegenious dishes; all prepared by the hands of our generous neighbors and friends.
Please continue to pray for our energy, commitment, & strength as we follow God’s lighted path through the Bayou.
Blessings & Peace,
Brother Bell
I’d like to be in that number, when the saints come marching in.
