God Sightings: How God is Working Through Response Efforts
Each day, God shows up as the church responds to the needs in our community, helping those impacted by COVID-19.
It’s amazing to watch God work through His Church. Acting as a catalyst, Love INC has enhanced the local churches’ ability to work together, so that they can take the lead in serving families while implementing new ideas and bringing solutions to evolving needs. Love INC has the honor of unifying, equipping and mobilizing the local church in a variety of ways during this unprecedented time.
