Tragedy

Our family carries deep affection for New Orleans. My wife, Michele, and I moved there as students at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary when we were 25 years old, and we were captured by the city’s hospitality and warmth. In our time there, we made lifelong friends and welcomed our only son into the world. Over the years, we’ve returned often, each visit reaffirming just how unique New Orleans is, with its vibrant spirit and incredible people. So, when we learned about the brutal attack in New Orleans — leaving 15 people dead and dozens injured — our hearts broke for the families affected and for a city we love.
