A few nerd facts from our latest Louisiana Church Planting Report: 

> Nine of our current church plants are RE-plants, in closed church properties. Now more than 20 of these around the state.

> 22 Hispanic Church Plants in Louisiana have reported almost 300 new commitments to Christ this year! 

> 25 African-American Church Plants in LA have reported 200+ new commitments to Christ in ’16. 2/3 of all plants since ’13 have been non-anglo.

> Sharing facilities is a great way for a church to support church planting. 192 new commitments to Christ in 20 LA plants currently meeting in shared space.

> 19% of @LaBaptists churchplants are in rural areas. Great group of planters! Bivocational, relational, deeply involved in their communities. Unsung heroes for sure! 

> 172 new commitments to Christ reported this yr by New Orleans Church Plants. NOLA = 25% of plants & near 50% of @LaBaptists planting budget.

Very proud of all our planters & partners laboring for the Gospel across the Bayou State!
