Our Story

The I Am Here For You Ministries was officially established as a 501-c3 non-profit organization in 2005. But it all began back in August 2003 with a call from the Lord that I needed to be available to Him while I was at the airport. I had no idea what that meant but I faithfully communicated my availability to those at my departure gate.  That small step of faith opened a door for me that I could never have imagined.

When I walked through the door I found myself in Kenya, Africa being connected to people who served the Lord with their lives but were looking for others to help. This opportunity to help was solidified by connections to help widows and orphans.  Helping widows by providing business training and funding for micro loans and helping orphans by providing resources to support the physical, educational and medical needs for their daily lives.

In 2007 we expanded into Burundi, Africa and have supplied over 300 widows and poor women business training and micro loans. These loans have helped provide food, education and shelter for these families.  For as little as $120.00 we can provide the training and loans to make a difference.

The ability to help orphans include the physical needs such as beds, mattresses, blanket, food, education and medical needs. By partnering with local ministries we are able to provide essentials to improve the wellbeing of these children.

Since the beginning the I Am Here For You Ministries has a heart to support the larger communities of people. The ministry has helped build churches and widow’s homes, supply seeds for crops for widows and food for those in need.

In 2014 we began another component of supporting the community by providing soccer training for Middle and High School girls. This outreach provided a positive environment for these young girls to enjoy a day of competition as schools competed to win the daily Olivia Academy’s Football Title. The winners were honored with special shirts and each participant was supplied with food for the day provided by the Academy.

2016 brought another opportunity to expand Olivia’s Soccer Academy where Olivia brought 5 of her collegiate teammates with her to Kenya for a full week of soccer training and a tournament hosted by the governor of the province. It was a community event that brought great competition, lots of fun and opportunities to sow into the lives of young women.

We ask that if you are interested in learning more about how we are helping those in need please send us a message.
