Speaking
Opportunities
– Legislative Retreat, Victory Bible Church, Leadership St. Tammany, Wedding,
Baby Dedication, Christian Legal Society.
My goal is to spend more and more time speaking to community
organizations about the need for spiritual renewal and revitalization in our
community and country.
Discipleship – A number of men
have recently come to faith and I am following up. It was fantastic to see one of the men
authentically give his testimony before I spoke to a lawyers group in New
Orleans. He was a great object lesson in
the power of the gospel.
Preaching
Opportunities
– It was a huge privilege to be a speaker at Forcey Bible Church’s
Missions Conference in Silver Spring, MD.
Many responded to the invitation.
Donna spoke at a women’s luncheon after church.
“We
preach Christ and Christ crucified.” 1
Cor. 1 & 2
National
Prayer Breakfast – Once again, I helped co-lead the team from Louisiana to the
National Prayer Breakfast. Dr. Ben
Carson seems to have launched a national movement after his keynote
address. The trip included key
appointments with political leaders in Washington, DC. Here Donna is pictured with Gabby Douglas,
the 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist.
Disaster
Response – I like to do little projects to keep my hands in the TouchGlobal
Disaster Response Ministry. It was
fantastic to meet with leaders from New York City who are figuring out how to
follow-up in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Urban
Impact – I enjoy serving as Chairman of the Board at Urban Impact in Central
City, New Orleans. The ministry has
purchased St. Monica’s Church and school and has renovated the property. It is thrilling to see kids have a place to
play, learn and worship.
PRAYER
1. Pray for full recovery for Donna
after her recent knee surgery.
2. Pray for my ministry starting in
mid-April through mid-June in Baton Rouge among Legislators during the 2013
Legislative Session.
3. Pray for open doors, changed
hearts, wisdom and boldness.
4. Pray for revival, revitalization
and renewal in the United States.
