The Commission . .
.
"Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew
28:19-20
The Message . . .
Jesus said to him, Today
salvation has come to this house, because this man, too,
is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and
to save what was lost." Luke 19:9-10
The Blessing . . .
"But
whoever drinks the water I given him will never thirst.
Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of
water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14
Purpose:
We encourage and support our members' passions for
reaching out to those in our community to make a
difference right here in Shreveport and Bossier City.
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:
What is your call?
Often the programs that we get involved in begin with the
suggestion and commitment of a member that feels they are
being GOD LED to get involved in a program as a ministry
outreach. The opportunities are endless, but we need
committed folks to step up to the plate and make it
happen. We encourage and need your
participation to make a difference. The following
programs are part of what we're doing locally.
PROVIDENCE HOUSE
814 Cotton Street
Shreveport, Louisiana 71101

Providence House is a
residential development center for homeless families with
children, providing comprehensive support services for
improving the family structure and moving the family into
independent living. The Lord who created you says:
"Fear not, I have redeemed you; I have called you by name;
you are mine." (Isaiah 43:1) Our vision is to be a
catalyst for change so no family in our community is
homeless. We will fullfill our vision by providing all
families an opportunity to thrive as equal members of our
community through engaging the community to perform acts
of compassion, empowerment, and advocacy.
