Shreveport Mission Trip

3/18/2023 — 3/24/2023

The Hub: Urban Ministries in Shreveport, LA, is on a mission to give everyone in our city access to a restored life!  We do that through providing rescue, relationships, resources, and recovery to the homeless, those experiencing poverty, and women and children who have experienced sexual exploitation and/or human trafficking through our two ministries: The Lovewell Center and Purchased: Not for Sale.  The Lovewell Center is a membership-based model of ministry that provides those in poverty and homelessness a way to earn the resources they need through attending classes and counseling.  Purchased serves women and children who have experienced human trafficking through multiple programs and outreaches aimed at providing rescue and recovery to every woman and child experiencing exploitation in our city. 

Mission groups engage across all of the ministry lanes of The Hub and get hands-on, personal opportunities to engage and serve.  This includes homeless outreach, motel outreach, serving meals to those in poverty, and running the resource stores in our ministry facilities.  Our mission trips are geared at not only mission activity but training & immersive education so that you can take what you learn back to your own city!

What will you do:

The Hub: urban ministries has two main ministries, The Lovewell Center & Purchased: Not for Sale.  The Lovewell Center serves those experiencing homelessness and poverty.  It is a membership-based resource center designed to move people out of homelessness and poverty and into a restored life.  Purchased: Not for Sale is a ministry that serves women in the sex industry & victims of sex trafficking. 

Teams will do a variety of serving opportunities while on the ground in Shreveport.  This will include sharing meals with Lovewell members, running our resource stores and assisting Lovewell members who are shopping for their needs, and engaging in street and motel outreaches that are designed to reach poverty populations.

Teams will also participate in projects for Purchased: Not for sale that includes outreaches and projects around the program facility.

Teams will also be exposed to a ton of training, learning, and immersive opportunities!  We want to send you home ready to see your own city restored.
