And the great thing about Missionopoly is this: God’s Kingdom in Louisiana and beyond. when we do this together, EVERYBODY wins! The outreach, student discipleship, and mission trips. church planter in south Louisiana, the victims Fraternally, WeCanDoThis.LA of a future hurricane, the student whose life is changed at camp, the missionary, the student David Hankins WeCanDoThis.LA who surrendered to ministry but doesn’t know if he can afford seminary, the viewer impacted by a statewide evangelistic media campaign - they all experience the blessing of cooperation!
