"Since I was a child, I have had a passion for helping others. As I got older, the passion grew and in 2006, I finally decided to step out on faith and pursue my God-given purpose. Since inception, we have been able to reach thousands of individuals. The impact that Face to Face has made on the communities we serve has been such a great reward. I am truly blessed to be able to do what I love. I have also been blessed with a great team who shares my vision and who exudes compassion. I hope that as you browse this site, you will learn more about what we do. I wish you blessings, favor, and success in all you aspire to do. And, if I can help one person as I travel along the way, then I know my life has not been in vain."
