Through our several mission trips to this post Katrina city the idea for Go Light Our World (GLOW) was born. It was here that we realized we are not just sent to build up houses but to build up the house of God, that is the people of God. Long after the house repairs have outlived their purpose, the relationships that are created and fostered among people will continue to live on as the light of Jesus shines in their lives.
The ‘New Orleans’ mission is actually based in the ministry of New Hope Alliance Church in ‘West Bank’ Gretna. It was there we met Pastor Willy Neudahl and his lovely wife, Dawn. Their hearts for reaching others with the compassion of Jesus and helping them to discover God’s best for them inspired the inception of Go Light Our World international missions. Their heart for worship and discipleship continues to inspire us to partner with them in building up the family of God.
