Organization History

Jeanene Mader following the burden of her heart, founded Lord's Legacy Life Ministries, Inc. in November 2006. Jeanene's active role in advocating for individuals with mental challenges and physical disabilities has been her passion from childhood. Her memories recall, as a child, their family home being open to anyone needing assistance. Her parent's compassion instilled the needed values that loving and serving others is our purpose. It was our duty to God, our society, and our communities to have a compassionate heart. Financial burdens were never to be viewed as obstacles but opportunities to promote one's self worth. Ten years ago Jeanene opened the doors of her family home to a individual with a disability after being abandoned by a hazardous flood. Her advocacy and daily participation in this individual's life, educated her on the demand and the challenges these individuals face daily. Recognizing this was only one individual and she could make a difference, she is on a mission with a purpose.

Jeanene is committed to educating the public on the barriers these individuals partake. With the knowledge and understanding the resources can be easily accessible to accomplishing these goals. She believes that there is desperate need for change and the past traditional concept of the government providing funding to these individuals. The heart breaking truth is our governments financial ability to continue to provide assistance is becoming nonexistent. A new concept was created to offer "community inclusion" as a vital necessity to promote each individual life. She believes that with the available resources, community outreach, and the compassion in this country, that there shall be a day that disabled citizens will not have to depend on government funding to provide the same opportunities we all share. Partnered with local Pastors, youth groups, seminary students, professors, college sport teams, local professionals and businesses, the vision is being driven with pursuit to reach a destination of wholeness for everyone.
