Mike Clark, director of missions for the William Carey Baptist Association, was part of the ministry efforts in New Orleans after the devastating New Year’s Day attack that saw a suspect drive a truck through crowded sidewalks in the French Quarter, killing 14 people and injuring 30 others before being fatally shot by police. Clark, a crisis-trained strategic chaplain coordinator with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, led a team of chaplains who provided emotional and spiritual support to victims’ families, first responders, and community members at the scene. Clark, who has served with BGEA for 20 years, emphasized their mission to respond wherever needed, offering prayer and comfort during the city’s time of mourning.
