Adult Mission Teams and National Project Youth Mission Trips
Since our beginning in 1989, Urban Impact Ministries has welcomed mission teams from all over the United States to partner with us in transforming the Central City of New Orleans.  Over the years we have seen the profound impact teams have on our neighborhood, and the often dramatic spiritual growth in the missionaries themselves. . August through May mission teams. Since hurricane Katrina the EFCA Katrina Project has been established to oversee disaster relief in New Orleans and Covington, LA.  The Katrina Project is a partnership between Urban Impact, Touch Global, Trinity Church, Food for the Hungry, and the Evangelical Free Church of America.  For more information and to sign-up your mission team for a week of service please follow this link to www.efcakatrinaproject.org.  . There is still a huge need for volunteer labor in New Orleans.  We have entered a phase were we are starting to rebuild homes, but there is still a back-log of homes that need to be gutted.  Please consider bringing a team to help in the process.
