Who We Are

"Through prayer and the Word, we would minister with power."

OUR STORY

How Sanctioned Love Started

In 1997, while seeking the face of God at a conference, He spoke to my [Lynda's] passion and longing to see captives set free, broken hearts unbound and identity released to the wounded. He showed me that He wanted to build a company of women with this as their very mission. Through prayer and the Word, we would minister with power, teaching and preaching the word of God in the freedom and liberty of the Spirit of God.

Prayer for this vision began all those years ago, but it was in the last seven years that the Lord brought Sanctioned Love together with traveling opportunities, soul care of one another and ministry of healing to others.

Today, we minister as a team, each with different giftings, like multiple streams flowing into the same river with a passion to see lives touched by the heart of God.
