Bayou Family Project Day was an amazing event with 500 people serving at 40 project locations and working with 20 local organizations in Lafayette, Opelousas, Youngsville, Eunice, and Kaplan.

God worked in some incredible ways, and we would love to hear your feedback! Please submit stories to missions@eastbayou.org about how God used you as an individual, family, or small group to help others, and how he used the day to teach you as well.

Amazing work, everyone! You may never know how far the service of one day has and will continue to impact Acadiana for Christ.
