In Their Words

CN: What is something happening at your mission that you are most grateful for?

Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission: We are so grateful for our Mission Family! Even when times are tough, our donors never skip a beat and will never let a need go unmet. No matter what is happening in the world around us, our Mission Family is steadfast and faithful.

CN: What is something you are looking forward to and/or praying for?

Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission: Our campus was opened in 2007 and was designed under a more traditional shelter model focusing on food and shelter. We are currently renovating and updating our space to reflect our current program model and are excited to see all of the great changes happening. Currently, this is our biggest prayer. Our cities rank high in the Barna polls for most Bible minded cities; however, we continue to see high poverty and high crime. There is a disconnect and we are praying for God to continue to move hearts across of cities into a true relationship with Him and stir a revival in our cities.

CN: In what ways has being a Citygate Network member been a resource to you and your team?

Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission: The work we do is not easy but community makes all the difference. Citygate Network allows us to connect with our fellow missions, get wisdom and ideas, and lean on each other.

The 300+ organizations in Citygate Network membership seek to move people in desperate situations and destitute conditions (i.e., hungry, homeless, abused, and addicted) from human suffering to human flourishing through the process of gospel-powered life transformation.
