About Us

The Early beginnings of Evangelist Xavia Forrester's journey has supported social welfare missions throughout the Caribbean and the United States of America. In recent times, through her oversight, Labor of Love Community Outreach (LLCO) which is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, has reflected its operation in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. Since the year 2020 she established Joseph’s Community Outreach Ghana (JCOG) commencing a Clean Water Project in Shai Hills, Ghana. In 2023 LLCO has expanded its mission to Eastern Africa, specifically within Rwanda and Kenya, providing counseling support, skills transfer training, church leadership training, educational scholarship support, and feeding programs with thousands of meals for participants within the targeted communities. Today our mission continues.
