Outreach
Love Is A Lifestyle is committed to reaching the lost and fulfilling the Great Commission as commanded in Matthew 28:19-20, advancing the Kingdom of God, glorifying the Savior Jesus, and making an impact in the world in every way we have been called to. (You can view our Mission Statement and Vision here.) We are especially dedicated to helping eradicate homelessness locally and worldwide. We are also duly committed to helping women (and men) who have been affected by human trafficking; we are committed to encouraging, teaching, and guiding young men and women between the ages of 13-22 with no criminal record who have promise; we are committed to assisting young men and women between the ages of 16-34 (felons and ex-convicts) who have been criminalized, institutionalized and feel trapped in the justice and prison system; and we are also committed to helping women, men, and families who are in dire circumstances and are looking for a hand up and not a hand out.
We at Love Is A Lifestyle promote biblical womanhood, biblical manhood, and the growth of healthy biblical families. We have dreams of opening a full-service resource center locally (and quite possibly in other areas), a safe shelter and transition home for those affected by homelessness and/or human trafficking, and a food pantry or kitchen for the community at large (and for those in need).
If you love Jesus, are currently serving in some capacity, and are interested in assisting Love Is A Lifestyle raise funds for the transition home or give back to the community by serving in any or all of the above-mentioned ways, please contact us at porsche.armstrong9@gmail.com with the subject line LIAL – Outreach. Thank you and God Bless!

We’re all one in this thing! So, if there’s anything I can do for you, or if there is a male spiritual leader I can point you to for advice or counsel, don’t hesitate to contact us here! I salute you for your desire to love as Christ loves in all you do.

The Biblical Woman
For The Biblical Woman:
Hi sisters! As a woman of God who has gone through her own personal journey towards redemption – with several tough lessons along the road – I know how incredibly helpful it is to have support, accountability, and encouragement from the Body of Christ, and great resources to help you answer some of life’s most troubling questions. So, I have included some information just for you! I pray that it helps you! Eventually, we plan to launch a global bible studies ministry where you can connect with other women in group settings! If there is anything that our ministry can do to assist you further along your journey as a Christian woman, please feel free to contact us on the site! Blessings to you woman of God! Much love!

Ministries That We Love:
Desiring God – Minneapolis, MN and Online
This ministry has blessed us tremendously as it relates to our walk with Christ, understanding His truth, and applying it to our lives. The head Pastor, John Piper, is truly a soul that has been graced by God to exhort His people. There is a blog post, article, e-book, or sermon on their site for any question you may have. It a great resource for sound doctrine and doxology, as well as growing in love. I highly recommend!
Unashamed Impact – Global Movement
We adore this ministry. Unashamed Impact is a global movement with a burning desire to see a revival amongst young believers. Founded by Brittney Moses (http://brittneyamoses.com/), a single mother with a vision from God, the ministry focuses heavily on evangelism, unity within the body of Christ, service, and discipleship. Check out the ministry on Facebook and Twitter and find out how you can connect with an Unashamed Impact team near you! And tell them we sent sent you!
There are several ministries that we receive encouragement and truth from, but these two ministries are ministries that we personally love and want to highlight! This is not an all-encompassing list, as there are many other ministries that have blessed us. We also encourage you to search for ministries on your own that speak to your spirit, and most importantly: Find a local church where you can connect and fellowship with believers in person! It is paramount to your growth and sanctification in Christ!
If you have any questions about Christ, salvation,our ministry, or any of these ministries, please contact us at porsche.armstrong9@gmail.com or contact one of the ministries listed above. Blessings to you!
