THe People Who Make The Magic Happen
Our Incredible Staff
The work at Love Strong is a heavy one. Helping people out of their darkest pit and into a place of hope and light is a powerful but emotionally involved process. Each person in the organization bears their own unique burdens and responsibilities to help this happen. But we all lift where we stand and look for ways to support each other where we can. That is where miracles occur.
We believe God has guided us all together to walk in tandem for one of His greatest purposes, helping people change for good.
