Our Beginning Story

Anna Bell was a remarkable woman whose life was dedicated to her community and in the service of others.  Known for her unwavering kindness and compassion, she made a lasting impact on everyone she encountered.  A devoted member of her church, Anna Bell's faith was the cornerstone of her life, guiding her actions and inspiring her to serve those in need.  She embodied the spririt of generosity, always willing to share what little she had.  One of Anna Bell's favorite saying was:  "God has no hands on the Earth but yours, no feet but yours, no voice but yours.  Everything He's going to do on the Earth will be through people who are willing.  Strive to make your hands, feet, and voice available for Him to use..
