DTMG 2025 Mission Information
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.
Logistics
Accommodations:
DTMG participants will be staying in housing managed by a local Christian ministry located at 317 Whitney Ave., New Orleans, LA, a short drive away from the Algiers Ferry. The Algiers Ferry will take us across the Mississippi River directly to Canal Street in the French Quarter to evangelize. Bed sheets, pillow, light blanket, towel, and a wash cloth will be provided by DTM.
Bunk rooms will either be men only or women only. Bathrooms will be shared. Snacks, coffee, and water will be provided by DTM. The team will have an opportunity to purchase groceries, toiletries, etc. locally at a nearby Walmart.
The registration fee covers the cost of lodging and gospel tracts. Participants will need to cover everything else during your stay in NOLA, including the Three Day Jazzy Pass ($8), and daily meals.
