The Next Step: Somebody Still Cares!

In response to the ongoing needs of the city, Somebody Cares America is planning a city-wide “compassion crusade,” currently targeted for March of 2008, called “Somebody Still Cares, New Orleans!” Working with other ministry partners, SCA will recruit work teams for construction and gutting houses and, during a two-week period, will offer youth-oriented athletic activities, concerts, and medical missions. Beginning with a “Somebody Still Cares” billboard campaign and by bringing in teams of intercessors to blanket the city with prayer before the outreach. Among the groups participating will be Athletes Who Care, Medical Professionals Who Care, Business Professionals Who Care, and more.

“What would it look like, in our lifetime,” Doug says, “to take a city that has been literally washed away and rebuild it on a new foundation?”

Prayer and compassion, he says, are not events, they are a lifestyle. “Our desire is not to just blow in with a big event then blow out again. We want to leave a deposit as we equip, empower, and encourage those who are in New Orleans for the long haul—serving in the church and the front line ministries—so they can fulfill the mandates God has given them.”

Your continued support can help us make possible what seems like an impossible task: rebuilding a city—once known for its decadence—on a godly foundation.

“The church in New Orleans has been given the opportunity to be a voice of hope in a city that has a daily struggle finding the strength to continue on,” says Mark Roye. “I have never seen a city that is so spiritually vulnerable. It is time now for us to help them rise up and take their place with the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
