About Us The birth of the Basar Preachers Rally is in essence the story of a tremendous move of God in this twentieth first century. Since 2010, thousands of people have attended the Basar Preachers Rally almost every year within Shreveport/Bossier. The rally has aimed to bring preachers (pastors, ministers, and elders, minister-in-training) together across Northwest Louisiana in the spirit of unity to share the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ. In Hebrew, Basar means preaching or sharing the good news. Each year we've been successful in bringing preachers together all over our city to facilitate a bond of peace in the spirit of unity while sharing the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ. We ve managed to do so by honoring notable men and women of God who've made significant impacts in the kingdom of God for more than a decades within our city. Using this method has brought unity amongst denominations throughout our city. This call for unity has drawn children and adults of all ages together to witness Christian ministers worshiping together under one roof. Ephesians 4:5 declares that there is one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism and 1 Corinthians 12:12 goes even further to declare For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. Basar has presented the kingdom of God locally with the opportunity to be ONE! In that vein Basar has been instrumental in bringing national voices who personify unity, awarded scholarships to ministers of different denominations, honored leaders across varies denominations, and organized a committee of diverse individuals to plan a major city wide event, multiple workshop and worship experiences to help boost the spirit of unity.
