Love International Ltd. is a Christian, not-for-profit charity organization that was officially registered in 1995. However, our journey began much earlier, inspired by a life-changing experience in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1989. Witnessing the dire conditions in the slums and the hardships faced by abandoned wives and their children, we knew we had to make a difference. Our first project started with helping to pay for school fees to provide education for the children in need. Since then, we have been dedicated to supporting the less fortunate and vulnerable communities across Africa.
Our Story
Though officially registered as a not-for-profit charity organisation in 1995, Love International Ltd was conceived much earlier. In 1989 on a trip to Ghana there was a problem with my visa that resulted in me staying an extra week in Nairobi, Kenya. During this time, I visited the slums that had a population similar to that of Brisbane, Australia at the time. The images of children, hungry and dirty, are etched in my mind along with people living in absolute squalor. Sewerage flowed in the narrow lane ways that gave access to makeshift shacks made out of cardboard and anything else its residents could lay their hands on. These makeshift homes were not even big enough to lie down in. Kenya is a country, like so many, where welfare is virtually non-existent. Abandoned wives are forced into prostitution to provide food for their children. This is virtually a death sentence where eight out of ten prostitutes have AIDS. We began small. Our first project was providing interest free revolving loans to help start small businesses, enabling people to have an income. We also provided funds to help pay for school fees enabling children to get an education. Since then, we have successfully provided food aid and assistance to many more people less fortunate than us. In 1995, recognising our inability to provide these funds, we registered Love International Ltd. as a not-for-profit charity organisation in Australia. Since then we have continued to support the poor and needy.
Our Ministry Work
For more than 25 years we have held Crusades and Conferences in different countries throughout the world, such as Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Hungary, Vanuatu, Philippines and New Zealand. Conferences have also been held in different states in Australia. Since 2004 we have been conducting Pastor Conferences and Evangelist Conferences in different countries for up-and-coming evangelist and Christian leaders, mentoring and imparting with view to multiplying ministries and planting churches.
Our ministry is interdenominational in nature, holding conferences for conservative, charismatic and Pentecostal churches. All the Crusades are conducted similar to the Billy Graham Crusades. Don K Stewart is part of the Luis Palau Alliance Ministries and holds a pastor credential in Australia.
To this present time the Crusades and Conferences have been financially covered primarily by Don K. and Olivia Stewart founders of Love International Ltd. ensuring all funds go direct to the aid projects. No money given to the aid side of Love International Ltd. has or ever will ever be used for the ministry wing of Love International. Nonetheless, with the increasing demands for city-wide Crusades throughout world we welcome your prayers and financial support to offset the enormous costs and enable this ministry to continue.
Maybe you cannot go and preach the gospel however indirectly you can by prayer and financially supporting this proven ministry. Unless it is specifically stated, “For Evangelistic Ministry” all funds will automatically go to the aid projects. Jesus said, “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end shall come.”
