Our Story: In 2010, Dr. Hayles felt a deep calling regarding the effectiveness and the direction of the external ministries of the church that he was leading. The church was structured for spiritual renewal and development. The needs of the community were increasing in multiple areas. Dr. Hayles felt it was necessary to launch into the deep and organize a non-profit entity to meet the needs of the growing community. He was able to establish a foundation with grace being the driving principle, in order to serve the families and people within the communities. The establishment of the foundation enable outreach opportunities and form partnerships with the purpose of addressing the concerns of the community. ​
