Living in Faith (LIF)
Living in Faith is a nondenominational, independent ministry that provides resources to leverage the work of the local church, primarily in Cuba and Haiti. We provide this help through spiritual programs, training, and meeting the humanitarian needs of the local church communities. We encourage faith-based independence and do not believe in creating a dependency upon us. We believe that by giving tools to the local churches, they can work most effectively to draw both Christians and non-Christians into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and each other. LIF ministry focuses on Vision for Christ (eyeglass ministry), Woman at the Well (water purification systems), Humanitarian Assistance, Disaster Relief, Ancient Paths seminars, Walks to Emmaus, and in developing special outreach programs to leverage the work of the local church. www.livinginfaith.net.
