Mardi Gras Outreach

Main Menu

Upon returning to Mississippi in 1994, the Walker’s took their experience with No Greater Love Ministries’ street witnessing ministry in New Orleans, Louisiana during Mardi Gras and chose to focus primarily on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

With two Christian floats in most of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Mardi Gras parades each year, the ministry typically passes out more than 100,000 tracts and thousands of Bibles during the roughly six weeks that is the Mardi Gras season.

During the 2011 parade season, we were blessed with the help of No Greater Love Ministries of Du Quoin, Illinois (www.nogreaterlove.org), Congregational Christian Church of Darlington Indiana (www.cccofdarlington.org), and Underwood Baptist Church of Florence, Alabama (www.underwoodbaptist.org) which sent mission teams to help out. Their presence was greatly appreciated and well received.

Through God’s provisions were able to pass out over 100,000 tracts and 5500 Bibles this year! We had a significant increase of Bibles from last year. Praise God for the increase, and thanks for all of your prayers!! What a blessing this has been!

We are looking forward to next year. We are hoping to raise enough funds and donations to increase the number of Bibles to hand out.

**Our goal: 6000 Bibles**

It is heart-wrenching to see the disappointment on a person’s face who asks for a Bible and we do not have one to give. We hope to not have to experience that next year.

A special thanks to:

Their dedication and faithfulness to the Lord and their willingness to join us in our ministry by providing live music for the floats is such a blessing to us. We believe many people were touched by the uplifting songs and preaching that they so lovingly presented.

Heaven Bound

Float Tract

HOW CAN I BE HEAVEN BOUND?

1. Realize that God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life, including an eternity with Him in Heaven. (John 3:16)

2. Agree with God that we've all sinned and can't attain His standard of perfection. (Romans 5:8)

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died in your place, taking the penalty that is rightly yours. (Romans 3:20)

4. Receive Jesus into your life by praying and asking Him to be your Lord and Saviour. (Rev. 3:20)

Say the following prayer to ask Jesus Christ into your life. "Heavenly Father, I repent of my sins. Please forgive me for my sins. I ask Jesus Christ into my heart. Thank you in Jesus name, Amen"

Now tell someone, "Jesus is my Lord".
