The Info Below is About His Love Ministries And How We Got Started
Marty McKenzie was called to preach in 1992, but he answered: "I can't talk in front of people!"
His Love Ministries is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit Christian Ministry.
It is based on Matthew 25:35-40 For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, `Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 `When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40 "And the King will answer and say to them, `Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' and James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
The Key Verse is 40, And the King will answer and say to them, `Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
In 1997 I became convinced that I was to be involved in Ministry, specifically, Jail and Prison. A mission was laid on my heart to go to the jails and prisons, to minister to those that had messed up their life and could be changed by the Gospel.
I was called to preach in 1992, but felt I can't talk in front of people!" It took five years of struggling with God’s call and being prepared by Him before I started preaching at Effingham Prison in 1997.
In 1999 God laid it on my heart and opened the doors for me to begin providing services in the Nursing Homes and Assisted Living facilities.
In 2000 I got laid off from my job of 18 years which opened the door after 3 more years of God preparing me to go into full time ministry on March17th 2003.
Later in 2008 God led us to minister over at Coastal Harbor to the youth and then they called me to ask me to come to the adults also.
When we felt led to move and expand the ministry in the Columbia/Lexington, SC in 2018 I became involved more heavily in the Prison Ministry and also began to minister to the Veterans at a Transitional Home.
"I started this ministry to serve the forgotten in our community,". "We consider ourselves an extension of mainline churches, even though we don't have church buildings for ourselves. Our office is our homes, and we don't buy many supplies. We provide services - that is our goal."
His Love Ministries mission is to take the gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified to people in places who cannot get out to hear this good news.
We do this through:
Due to the serious nature of preaching Christ and Him Crucified and the nature of the places we minister in we are seeking:
