H.O.M.E (Honduras Orphanage Mission for Education), founded by Stacey Wiles, is an organization that provides disadvantaged orphans in Honduras with a private Christian education to help them build life skills, character, and a solid foundation in Christ.  Orphan sponsors are needed to help end the vicious cycle of poverty which leads to a sense of desperation with the only outlet being crime and other self-destructive behaviors. Our Christian world-view provides them with hope, motivation, a sense of perseverance and purpose.

Restores faith, home, and community to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina in the Name of Jesus Christ through the operation of our two volunteer camps: Camp Biloxi in Mississippi and Camp Restore in New Orleans.  Our volunteers and staff physically rebuild family dwellings, churches, and schools and participate in numerous other restoration projects while providing emotional and spiritual care to those in need.

You don't need to go far away to make a difference in someone's life.  Outreach always begins in our own neighborhood. Every summer LLFC takes VBS to the Swiss Village community in Ferrysburg.  We have also had the opportunity to return to Alpine Lodge for an Easter Egg Hunt and again to encourage kids as they prepare for another school year by providing new school supplies and enjoy ice cream sundaes together.  Swiss Village is about building relationships and letting kids know they are loved and valued and most importantly hearing God’s redemptive plan for all of us.
