At ALOVE we believe that God is out there longing for people to come home and will go to just about any end to be reconciled with them.

In many ways, the old story about the prodigal son is more about the father than the son. The father sees his lost son while he’s still a long way away and then does what no respectable Jewish father would do; hitches up his skirt and runs towards him despite the violently undignified nature of the act. He gives the son his coat and his ring and throws the biggest party.

For ALOVE, mission is all about helping others see this through our thoughts, words and actions. It’s about showing people just how much God already cares for them and is just waiting for reconciliation. It’s about helping other people see what God is already doing in the world and discovering him in their own lives.
