"I have been going to Mardi Gras now for 20 years and I can say that it is the main catalyst that caused me to be a 24/7 Christian versus' a Sunday morning one. Mardi Gras has stretched me beyond what I thought was possible so that God could grow me in ways that would be useful for His Kingdom. As a pastor, I bring other men to Mardi Gras and it is the number one thing I use to help groom future leaders in my church. It has changed my life and the lives of my men in positive ways that really are indescribable."

“About 12 years ago I was in a trustee meeting with my Pastor, Shane Bishop. Shane said, "If you want to grow in Christ, I mean really grow, go on an NGL trip." I told him I work in a factory and get all kinds of opportunities to witness. He said, "Not like this!" I took him up on his challenge and have been going to NGL trips every since. Some have been a real challenge and others have seemed to go flawless, but each one is full of unforgettable memories of extraordinary power. The worship is powerful and the questions asked by the people on the street require consideration not previously pondered. It takes all kinds and we see most of them. It causes my faith to grow and prepares me even more for the next opportunity. NGL has truly been a blessing to my faith walk with the Lord.”
