Do you love odd jobs around the house and getting a new tool from Home Depot?
If you answered “YES” you are ready for our New Orleans Missions Trip. The team is looking for skilled carpenters, plumber, and electrians and we are also looking for unskilled people who want to help too. This trip is great for someone going on their first missions trip and for families.
