Missions in Our Own City

Sponsor a missionary in Cedar Grove.

The mission field is here in Shreveport. We're calling churches and partners to adopt the cost of husband-and-wife missionary teams who live in Cedar Grove and labor for its restoration — until it is whole, like the rest of our neighborhoods.

The Missionary System

Boots on the ground. Block by block. Anchored in the park.

This isn't a drop-in program. It's a long-term, geographic strategy for re-establishing the Kingdom of God in a neighborhood that has been left desolate for too long.

01

They live where they serve

Husband-and-wife teams move into — or are already rooted in — Cedar Grove. No commuting in. They share the streets, the schools, and the everyday life of their neighbors.

02

Block by block

The neighborhood is divided geographically. Each missionary team is responsible for the day-to-day care, prayer, and presence of the families on their blocks.

03

Anchored at A.B. Palmer Park

Teams use the infrastructure of A.B. Palmer Park as a consistent operation of restoration — a steady gathering point where neighbors are invited into the goodness God is doing.

04

Released into their gifting

Missionaries nurture Cedar Grove residents in the gifts, talents, and treasure God has placed in them — connecting them with the Kingdom Men and Women circling the city.

A Word to Churches

“The opportunity for missions is right here in Shreveport. We expect the churches to adopt missionary costs and invest in the re-establishment of the Kingdom of God in Cedar Grove — until it is whole, like the rest of our neighborhoods.”
