All About Real Life Church...Check it out!

God began to speak to my wife and I about moving to New Orleans roughly 5 years ago. The mission was clear. We are to plant a church and to engage in family ministry that will encourage and strengthen healthy families and bring healing and restoration to hurting families.
The journey has been long and filled with varying challenges. But, by God's great hand we are here and we are moving forward in the process of getting this work off the ground! The praise truly belongs to God! I will be sharing tidbits of the journey in the weeks to come as we move forward!
So, this blog post is devoted mostly to providing information about this new church, Real Life Church, which will be located on the West Bank of New Orleans. I want to provide a clear description of what we are all about for any who have an interest in being involved either by attending and serving or by making prayer or financial contributions.
