What Makes Our Nonprofit Stand Out

“Our Faith Inc. stands out because it was birthed from a place of complete surrender and trust in God.
My husband and I started this nonprofit during one of the most difficult seasons of our lives—when we had lost everything except our faith.

In that moment, we asked ourselves a powerful question:
How can we help others even when we have so little?

The answer became Our Faith Inc.

Our unique selling point is that we serve from lived experience, not just compassion.
We understand brokenness, starting over, and the deep need for hope.

That authenticity allows us to connect with the community on a heart level, offering not just resources, but restoration, resilience, and real faith in action.”
