LP

our founders

David & Rebecca’s story is unique and parallel in many ways.  David & Rebecca have been married for 31 years and live in the Austin, Texas area.

 

Their personal story is a message of hope, possibilities, hard work and triumph over tremendous challenges! David and Rebecca’s early start in life individually was plagued early on when growing up in single parent homes, poverty, in Rebecca’s case neglect, pain, disappointment, and lack of basic emotional, spiritual and physical needs.  It all changed when they each started on their own separate journeys for transformations both in their faith journey and unwavering commitment and grit to turn their life around. They met in 1988 when their world collided as friends and they began their relationship by serving in the inner city through teen outreach in Austin area high schools and community outreach addressing the violent gang issues in east Austin during the late 1980’s, early 1990’s.
