The NOBTS Family: Putting Hands and Feet to the Gospel
From SBC Life.....

Nearly seven hundred volunteers from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary marked the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina by putting hands and feet to the Gospel at twenty-eight sites throughout New Orleans on August 29.

Subjects like pastoral ministry, missions, and evangelism were not taught in the classroom on this day, but in the city. Real-world training took place in hard-hit areas like the Ninth Ward, St. Bernard Parish, and the seminary's own Gentilly neighborhood. The volunteers' work was a message of love, hope, and God's grace — a hug for the hurting city

NOBTS is committed to the city of New Orleans. It is encouraging to see so much "hands on" ministry taking place through seminary training. Getting out of the classroom and into the city is what ministry is all about. May we in every church learn this also. We need to "get in to the city" and fulfill the Great Commission!
