Welcome to our new mission team experience! We're excited to share with you each of the following opportunities for you to get involved with God's work here in Central City New Orleans. You'll notice several familiar things have changed names and we've added a few opportunities as well. It is our hope that you find a good fit for you, your church, your youth group or your family here with us.
Would you like to serve in missions but cannot go for an extended period of time? Do you or your church want to be involved with missions in a hands-on way? Are you or your congregation interested in missions but not sure how to get started? NOLAtransform is for you!
NOLAtransform is a the missions arm of Urban Impact Ministries in New Orleans, where groups or individuals can partner for a short-term missions experience. Our short-term trips and service projects provide opportunities for everyone to become involved in missions in a meaningful way.
As a volunteer, you can be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ as you help repair damanged homes, tutor children who are behind in their schoolwork, play games with youth needing a safe place to gather and share the Gospel with those who desperately need a Savior.
Through training and practical experience, NOLAtransform team partners are equipped to “take it home,” which often leads to increased service in their own communities. There are so many ways for you to be involved in missions.
During these tough economic times, NOLAtransform is an economical option that still gives you the cross-cultural experience of an internationl missions trip.

NOLAfuision (formerly National Project) youth mission trips uniquely emphasize discipleship and evangelism. You will be exposed to New Orleans’ burning need for a Savior, be equipped to help meet that need and be sent home to be actively involved in ministry.
Time is set aside each day for extensive teaching, quiet time and the development of your relationship with Christ. You will be taught and trained to be a disciple of Jesus. The environment created each summer is one where the Holy Spirit can radically transform each student’s life.
One of the largest aspects of NOLAfuision is the relational ministry you will do in our neighborhood. After training it’s hands on time. Through service at daycamp, recreation outreach and Challenge Circle, we concentrate on teaching you how to communicate your faith. You are given opportunity after opportunity to share your faith as we minister alongside local missionaries, pastors and indigenous church members.
This we are already planning for Summer 2011 if you would like information or to sign up for next summer 2011 call Joan Hathaway at 504-523-5556 or joanh@urbanimpact.org.
