Our Story - The Foundation of LIFE Limbs Health. We’ve matured and grown.

The journey of what is now LIFE Limbs Health began not as an organization, but as a small, heartfelt act of friendship and devotion. It started when a close group of women gathered to support one of their own through a devastating illness. These initial meetings were simple and intimate, taking place in her home, centered around Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. It was a space of spiritual and emotional recovery.

A turning point came as the recovering member, Izora Bullock, began participating in a fall prevention and balance classoffered by the Area Agency on Aging. This exposure to evidence-based training sparked a profound realization within her about the importance of holistic health. They began to expand their gatherings beyond spiritual support and began incorporating health and wellness. Their self-care activities expanded to include group outings, relaxation therapies, and more intimate, deeper conversations.

From Ministry to Certified Community Health

United by their faith and their growing focus on wellness, this core group of women, Izora, formally founded Faith Journey Abundant Life Ministries Inc. With this foundation, they began extending their health promotion efforts into their various churches and the wider community.

This commitment to formalizing their mission reached a significant milestone in 2013 when the group gained its 501(c)(3) certification. Later, several members became volunteer certified community health workers, solidifying their expertise and dedication to health and wellness education.

In 2018, to better reflect their holistic focus on nurturing growth, the group adopted the name LIFE Limbs, drawing attention to their keen interest in growing the lives of others through educational programs.

Adapting and Professionalizing

The COVID-19 pandemic presented a significant challenge, but LIFE Limbs turned it into an opportunity for innovation. They quickly pivoted to virtual health and wellness education and, in the process, became a state-approved provider of CEUs for Community Health Workers, further establishing their professional credibility.

Today, the organization continues to be a vibrant force, with its members volunteering as health and wellness educators in the community. They offer a variety of health education programs, health fairs, and community forums, both in person and virtually.

This continuous evolution and commitment to growth culminated in the fall of 2025 with a major rebranding, giving rise to the name we know today: LIFE Limbs Health. It’s a powerful reflection of a legacy that began with prayer and support, and has grown into a highly professional organization dedicated to the health and well-being of the entire community
