We Are On A Mission
Real stories from real people whose lives have been touched by L.I.N.K. Empowerment Ministry.
I met Pastor Kathy at the grocery store, where she paid for my food and invited me to her church. They supported me with donations and helped me secure housing for my family. I am grateful for her support; I am no longer homeless and continue to thrive on my journey. Thank you, God, and Dr. Pastor Katherine Moore of L.I.N.K. Empowerment Ministry.
I am thankful for Dr. Katherine Moore, Pastor of L.I.N.K. Empowerment Ministry. I was seeking assistance with my rent, and her words of encouragement gave me hope. She shared her resources, directing me to other ministries that could help. She continued to pray for me and encouraged me to trust God. I love how she loves the people of God and has such a great desire to help.
One of my fondest memories was helping her move to South Carolina in 2017. We made the trip together, stopping along the way to talk with people, share positive energy, and hand out her business cards, all while spreading the message of Jesus' love. Even after her move, I've been inspired by her continued growth and dedication to uplifting others. Her kindness and faith truly make her a beacon of hope.
