Noah's Ark Missionary Baptist Church

Pastor Willie Walker and Noah’s Ark Missionary Baptist Church

In 1998, Pastor Willie Walker came to Noah’s Ark Missionary Baptist Church, who has been serving the needy community in New Orleans for 60 years. Willie had dedicated his life to helping people who are most in need – addicts, AIDS patients, homeless and the poor. He has become a local hero to this congregation and community, acting as a father figure to those headed down the wrong path and making everyone feel equal and welcome. When Katrina hit, after Willie made sure his family was safe he risked his life by going back to the devastation time and time again to help rescue hundreds and saved countless lives. When Willie finally returned to the church, he found it totally destroyed by the flood waters. For 2 years, Willie continues to work tirelessly to help the victims of Katrina, but has not been able to rebuild his beloved church. Now, Deltec Homes and an elite team of builders with the crew of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” will rebuild this church and provide not just a place of worship for this congregation, but a refuge for the entire community.
