about us
Hebrews 11:1
"The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see." (The Message Bible)
Our Mission
Our mission is to serve our community with unwavering faith by being the tangible expression of hope, compassion, and redemption. We believe that faith is not passive; it compels us to act with conviction, even when the outcomes are unseen. Together, we build bridges of support, uplift the vulnerable, and foster resilience with education, prayer, and connection. We strive to empower individuals and communities through sustainable solutions and access to resources, cultivating a world where everyone can thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a future in which identities lost to the cycle of poverty are restored through practical actions, creating a culture where everyone experiences love, dignity, and empowerment. We desire to facilitate a network of collaborative resources shaped by individuals and organizations rooted in faith, fueled by love, and dedicated to the well-being of all. May our endeavors echo the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen, as we work tirelessly to uplift and strengthen our community.

Lori Garcia grew up in Fort Worth but spent time residing in Mineral Wells as a young child, returning as a late teen, and again as a young adult. Conceding to the truth that Mineral Wells was always going to have a place in her heart, she has now been a resident here for 15 years. Lori is passionate about the issues that bring many of the members of our community to us on a daily basis. Her desire is to facilitate a safe, compassionate, motivating environment that provides opportunities for those caught in the cycles of poverty and homelessness to remedy contributing factors and acquire a new quality of life. Believing love is an active expression of faith, she strives to be the tangible hands and feet of Jesus in practical ways that speaks hope to those needing support.
" For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again."
