Passion for Prisoners
For reasons very personal to Lori, she has a heart for those incarcerated. She has gone into several prisons speaking, offering hope, and sharing her stories. She has been welcomed and received as family. Although she tells it like it is, Lori understands that nobody is a throw-away, that people can change, and that what you have done does not define who you are.
Missions 2 Africa, Inc.
Lori’s passion is paralleled through her 501c3 charitable organization, Missions 2 Africa, Inc., developing the potential of her T.E.A.M. (Train, Equip, Advance, Mentor) members through short-term, life-changing mission trips; leading teams to remote villages throughout West Africa sharing the love of Jesus through preaching, education, feeding programs, school development, and more. Through Missions 2 Africa, she offers educational assistance through scholarships and through financial donations to help build schools and support various programs. She dreams of building a vocational training school centrally located near remote villages in Ghana.
