Join us for our 14th year of racing! It is our mission to assist in providing some of the necessary funds to missionaries across the globe and locally in their work to take God's love and salvations to others.
Missionaries like Matt and April, from Shreveport, are serving in Ecuador. For several years, they have served in the calling to change lives toward Jesus through a soccer program. God has done amazing things through a soccer ball and programs Matt and April have built.
Missionaries like Jacob and Amanda, who left Shreveport to start a church in Boston. Today, Valley Church is growing in members and staff through the work Jacob and Amanda started.
This is what the SGBC Mission Race is all about. Missionaries!

Shreveport is the largest city in Northern Louisiana, part of the twin city metro of Shreveport-Bossier City, and is considered the principal city in the three-state region known as the "Ark-La-Tex." It has about 188,000 residents (2019), and is in the area of the state designated as the Sportsman's Paradise. Many lakes and rivers are in the area and offer recreational activities. The surrounding area is also a contrast from points in southern Louisiana, in that the landscape is marked by rolling hills and pine forests, being an extension of the Texas region known as the Piney Woods.
