What is Declaring Truth @ Mardi Gras?
Declaring Truth @ Mardi Gras is an annual 3-day Mardi Gras mission trip organized by Declaring Truth Ministries to educate believers in Biblical evangelism and to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to thousands of Mardi Gras revelers in the French Quarter. Every year, about 1 million people come to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras. "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few." (Lk. 10:2) Disciples of Jesus Christ will be strengthened in the Spirit as we enjoy 3 days of prayer, fellowship, and life-changing street evangelism ministry together.
