Our Leadership

963 S Loop 340 Waco, TX 76706

The Lords Work is a group led by several guys in central Texas who are the best of friends. We bonded at gun point in Haiti in February 2019 and have been revitalized by the Lords interest in our projects ever since.

“There was a man who was paralyzed. Some men were carrying him on a mat. They tried to bring him in and put him down before Jesus. But because there were so many people there, they could not find a way to Jesus. So the men went up on the roof and made a hole in the ceiling. They lowered the mat so that the paralyzed man was lying right before Jesus. Jesus saw that these men believed. So he said to the sick man, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:18-20‬ (see also Mark 2)
