All Grace Outreach – LIFE Founders
I know everyone is frantically getting ready for the holidays! It seems like this time of year is busier then any other time even tho it supposed to sloooooow down for at least a few days. I did an open meeting in Halifax a few days ago and it was packed and had such a great feel. Its been such a great year for Kaizen and for the LIFE business overall but I will save that for another post!
I was reading Wayne Macnamara’s blog which always has great stuff on it and he did a great article on the All Grace Outreach charity and I am proud to serve as a board member. Its been great to be involved with some of the great causes the AGO supports and I hope when you have the opportunity that you donate a bit to this charity. Here is a repost of Wayne’s blog post.
Merry Christmas
Life Founders and All Grace Outreachby Wayne MacNamara |
The founders of LIFE support this amazing cause of helping children. Their support and generosity is incredible. Check it out.
All Grace Outreach originally began in 1993 in Maine as “Christian Mission Services”. In March of 2007, the charity organization was transferred to Michigan and the name was changed to All Grace Outreach. All Grace Outreach is committed to providing assistance to those in need. Our main focus is spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world and helping abused, abandoned and distressed children and widows.
Mission and Vision – To impact and improve the lives of children both locally and globally and to fund Christian outreach efforts throughout the world.

He pursues excellence in being a husband, father, and follower of Jesus Christ and is an avid motorized adventurer, world traveller humorist, community builder, business owner, reader, and lifetime student. The biggest joy for Chris comes in spending time with his wife Terri and their four children, attending soccer games, and dancing with his daughter. Chris is deeply committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and is a strong supporter of charitable donations for mission trips and assistance for less fortunate children and widows. In keeping with this passion and purpose, Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward donate 100% of the advances and royalties they receive for the first edition of their best seller Launching a Leadership Revolution to All Grace Outreach.

He is a co-founder of LIFE and authors multiple blogs on leadership and life.
