While some of us are soaking in the sun on the white sandy beaches of Jamaica, Lori Singleton, owner of L&N Residential Cleaning, is looking for another adventure. Her adventure stirs her soul and fills her heart with so much more than a relaxing getaway ever could. With her congregation, Lori extends a helping hand in building houses of worship for the local communities in Jamaica.
The opportunity to contribute to this project has not just become a part of Lori's life; it has become her life. It has led her to reevaluate her priorities and make significant changes. She has downsized her home and transformed her business into a platform to support future trips that support communities abroad. This personal transformation is a testament to the profound impact of her volunteer work.
She says, "I view this time as part of my worship, and working alongside other believers builds me up and gives me such a wonderful feeling of hope and happiness." Beyond the bonds she has made from building communities together, Lori has realized that although we are from different cultures, we still have similarities and are now part of her large global family.
Lori says, "Changing lives and giving my time and energy is the least I can do. If even one person is reached and affected, then I am satisfied. When you go to other places and meet people from different cultures, you can start to see the most important things. What we all have in common, and I grow from this."
