Probably the most important thing you can do from home for us while we're in New Orleans is pray. Money is certainly helpful, yes, but prayer is direct communication with God, who happens to be in charge of everything in the universe. Please pray not only for team safety and well-being, but also that we are challenged by God to work for his plan. Last year we saw God work in amazing ways – I'm sure you've all heard the sheetrock story before – and I'm really looking forward to see what He'll do this year. For me personally, I hope someone can pray that I'll be willing to step out of my comfort zone and strike up conversations with people we meet to tell them what we stand for.
It's really a matter of trusting God and ignoring whatever I'm telling myself to do, which is usually to not do anything at all. I'm excited to see what God has in store for the team and New Orleans itself, but we can't possibly do anything if we don't listen to His word. Like Robin said, pray that we can make ourselves available to Him.
