Daily Schedule
A typical week begins on Sunday evening at 8pm with orientation and ends Saturday morning. Each Wednesday we take half of the day off to allow you to experience New Orleans. You can go explore the French Quarter, look around in the French Market, and eat some local food. Other options include hopping on a boat and going on a swamp tour (you may even get to see an alligator or two!). During the work week, each group is typically involved in working on the construction site, participating in outreach with our street cleaning teams, and working in teams to accomplish daily chores and meals. The days begin with a devotional time, three evenings include a worship service for singing, praying and talking about the day, and on Thursday evening participate in an outreach event such as a cookout. .

CrossRoads Missions does not provide transportation to this field. The
group is responsible for transportation to/from New Orleans, as well as to
