Southern Baptist seminary students walked the streets, presenting the hope of the Gospel. Churches hosted block parties for their neighbors. New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS) held an appreciation event for local law enforcement. These events barely scratch the surface of all that took place during the Serve Tour + Crossover outreach events for New Orleans and the surrounding areas.
In an interview, New Orleans Police Chief Michelle Woodfork said the seminary “always wants to help, always wants to do something with us and for us, and we want to do things with them and for them, too. It solidifies our partnership; it makes it stronger.
“We’re building bridges,” she said. “Our community partners are our best partners. They’re the most important partners. They’re the ones we serve. They’re the ones who support us the most. We love stuff like this. It’s why we’re all here.”
