In their own words

What people say about LI-V.

“

LI-V gave me the support and resources I needed when I felt scared and alone. They walked beside me every step of the way.

LI-V is different from other programs. Its focus is on engaging the body of Christ in life issues. As people learn about this issue they want to become personally involved through volunteering, giving, and mentoring. It has been exciting to watch.

I called several churches and no one could help me until I called a church that said there is a group that helps moms called LI-V. I called them and they made me cry. I had no idea so much help and support was out there.
