About Love, Faith & Action Outreach
Founded in February 2023, Love, Faith & Action Outreach (LFAO) was born out of a deep love for people and a desire to reflect Christ through service. We are a Kingdom-minded organization dedicated to spreading hope, compassion, and practical support to those in need.
Our calling is to be a living expression of Christ’s love by partnering with grassroots organizations and local agencies to uplift underserved individuals and families. Guided by the example of Jesus and inspired by Romans 12:9–13 (NLT), we strive to serve with sincerity, honor others, and practice true hospitality.
The heart of LFAO is intertwined with Cathy Cares, a ministry founded by the family of board member Michele Lucas in honor of her beloved Aunt Cathy. While living in El Paso, Texas, Michele and founder Monica McGowan formed a friendship that was clearly God-ordained. It blossomed into a shared mission of love and service. Together, they began meeting the needs of their local community, supported by faithful family, friends, and partners.
In 2022, following God’s guidance, Monica and her family relocated to South Carolina, carrying the passion for giving with them and expanding their outreach into new communities. Their dedication continues to reflect love, faith, and purpose in everything they do.
With the support of board member Moray Syce, we have expanded internationally. His family’s legacy of faith began with a ministry founded by his grandmother, and that foundation continues to bear fruit today.
Through this connection, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with the Covenant Independent Congregation of Churches of South Africa (CICCSA), extending our mission and service to those in need across borders. This collaboration reflects the strength of generational faith and shared compassion.
Grounded in faith, driven by love, and committed to action, we continue to grow and serve—bringing light, hope, and healing to every community God leads us to.

Love, Faith & Action Outreach is more than a ministry—it’s a movement of compassion, a radiant expression of Christ’s love, and a refuge for those who are lost and hurting.
At Love, Faith & Action Outreach, we believe love isn’t passive—it moves. Just as Jesus walked with the hurting and the overlooked, we are called to step into spaces of need with humility and intention. Our goal is not perfection, but presence—daily acts of obedience that plant seeds of hope, healing, and dignity in the lives we’re entrusted to touch.
We invite you to partner with us on this journey of love, faith, and service. Whether through giving or covering this work in prayer, your support helps us reflect the heart of Christ and extend His love where it’s needed most.
Together, we are building a legacy of compassion—one that glorifies God and transforms lives for generations to come.
