Changing Lives

Empowering women through faith-based initiatives so they can return to society as well-equipped women of God. 
The program is about empowerment, hope, and a belief in the value of each and every human life.

Founding Principles

The foundation of the Lovelady program is based on the principle that everyone deserves the opportunity for another chance. Indeed for some of our women this is their first chance since they have never known love anywhere else. We meet them where they are and help them make better decisions that take them down a different path. Permanently.

Delighted to Serve

I feel truly blessed by God to be in a position to help these women. Seeing women and their children restored to the fullness that is ordained for them by God is very rewarding. I am honored that God allows me to serve Him in this manner.
- Dr. Brenda Lovelady Spahn, LHD
