Who We Are
The founders of the Strike Force 421 Giving Circle are women of faith who God has brought together to make an impact for the kingdom. By God's grace we will share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. The founders of Strike Force 421 believe not just in generosity, but in radical, life changing generosity... Life changing not just for the recipients but for the givers as well. We believe that God has called us to share this vision with as many women as possible in order to advance kingdom work in a significant way. We believe God should get the glory for everything we do and for everyone who is blessed. Our Name We chose the name "StrikeForce 421" to underscore our desire to make a major impact. Yes, we will pray for discernment but WE WILL ACT. We will make a difference. 4-2-1 represents not only the date the founders met, (April 21st), but our goal for return on investment! |
