OUR HISTORY - LLEM International | Impacting Lives...

OUR HISTORY

LLEM was founded by LoveGod Enyinna. At the young age of 15, he first felt his calling and began his lifelong mission to serve those in need. He is grateful to his biological parents for giving birth to him and for giving him a very unique name. He’s also grateful that they raised him in a godly home with the fear of the Lord.

His father is a pastor and his mother is an ardent community advocate. Both reside in Abia state of Nigeria.

LoveGod is also grateful to his god-parents from Hagerstown, Maryland USA, who supported and sponsored him. His god-parents were committed to him both prayerfully and financially. Their unwavering support enabled him to grow to become a dynamic leader who is making an impact on people’s lives all around the world.

Because of his blessings, he established LLEM to help those less fortunate than he.  As a child he saw vast amounts of poverty in his country of Nigeria.  His first-hand knowledge  of seeing people who could not afford food or clean water and witnessing orphan street children out of school pulled on his heart and convinced him he had to make a difference.

LoveGod was confident that he would not allow poverty to be a barrier in pursuing his life goals and decided early on that he would spend his life helping himself escaping poverty and helping others escape it.

Despite his academic degree as a microbiologist and despite having other degrees as well, he served as a missionary and traveled to many African countries. His call to preach the Gospel and his belief that the government of Nigeria should be doing more to help its poor, led him to his ministry work. As a minister he began providing food, clothing, and medical assistance to those in need, while preaching the Gospel to meet their spiritual need.  His philosophy is to teach the people how to fish according the saying:

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
