God's Love Nest Foundation is a non-profit, Christian organization whose purpose is to sow into the lives of families in crisis. We identify families in need of a retreat and/or place of respite and family counseling, and provide a safe, loving place away from home for a period to get refreshed and restored.
It is our desire to see families healed and made whole that they may fulfill God's purpose for their lives. Ultimately, we want to be a vessel through which families experience God's unconditional love.
Holding Families together with God’s Love.
In 2013 the Lord said to Lois, "Create a beautiful home for families; a place where families can enjoy the benefits of a retreat with no concern of its expenses; a place where families can rest, relax and have fun as they spend time with each other. This will be a gift from me [God] to them. As they spend time with one another, I also want to spend time with them, enriching their lives." He continued to say, "Many children suffer because of the insufficient time spent with their parents. Due to parents working long hours to take care of their families, children grow up with voids that they try to fill using the wrong sources. I want to deposit my eggs—my words of wisdom and direction—to parents, for them to use when raising their children. Like a bird cares for its young, I will teach them how to build and keep that covering over their nest—their family." Thus, "God's Love Nest Foundation" was formed. Presently, we are in the process of raising funds to help build the home where we can accomplish our mission in its entirety of helping families in crises.
In the mean time, families who contact us in need of assistance will be ministered to spiritually and will be referred to relevant agencies.

MEET THE EXECUTIVE BOARD
Lois Francois
Founder and President
As an international speaker, preacher, trainer, teacher, mentor, counselor and coach, God has given me a love for families, especially children. My compassion to help others fuels my passion to see people healed physically, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically and intellectually.
In my experience as a wife of 38 years, a Lupus survivor, and mother of four, I have fought multiple attacks on my marriage, my family, and myself.
However, facing these challenges equipped me to empathize, uplift, and support those experiencing similar situations. My weakest, most vulnerable moments enable me to use those experiences to encourage and influence change in relationships.
My heart’s desire is to see lives transformed; families healed, restored and living a life of wholeness; individuals— husbands & wives, couples, single adults, teens and children becoming aware of their purpose, and with the right guidance, successfully fulfilling it.
With God’s help, strength and direction, the Board Members Of God’s Love Nest Foundation will minister to families the way God desires - with His unconditional, abundant love.
Let us not love in words or speech but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18
Rhonda Harris
Vice President
As an educator for twenty years, I have seen up close the positive effect of a supportive, healthy family on a developing child. I have also seen the detrimental effects of a fractured and strained family. I have partnered with God’s Love Nest Foundation because I believe that the healing love of God is the answer. “Love never fails!”

As a previous service-learning student at VCU, I am excited and have always had a desire to serve in my community. I’ve been volunteering since I was a middle school student, and am excited to serve in the Kingdom of God. I’m looking forward to seeing the way God will transform families. My confident hope in God’s ability to bring healing to our community and beyond fuels my desire to serve as we reconcile others to Jesus.

BOOK REVIEWS
KAREN
The book " I Serve You The Back Of Jesus" is an encouraging and inspiring book about the love and healing power of God in our bodies and in other areas of our lives. It is enjoyable and an easy read. I go back to this book when I want to reference a situation where God brought a miracle in a practical way and also a supernatural way. This book is truly a testament of God's love and healing power. When man says that a situation is chronic and has no cure, God says the opposite and does the opposite. Thank you Sister Lois for being obedient to the Lord and writing your wonderful testimony.
GRACE ALLEYNE
Awesome book that is truly inspired by the Lord as a testimony of His greatness and the applied faith of a vessel that He has chosen to use. The enemy tries to oppress God's people in a variety of ways. This book which demonstrates faithfulness and might of our God is a must read for any kind of oppression that you might be experiencing. The enemy is continually being served the back of Jesus each time this book is read.

Truly Amazing
What a fascinating testimony of God's miraculous healing! This amazing account of one woman's faith reveals a gracious God who is still active and relevant in the lives of those who trust Him steadfastly.
Read and believe. God still heals diseases!
GLENNIS SMITH
I questioned the title of this book, “I serve you the back of Jesus,” until I read its contents in one sitting. What an inspiration! What an encouragement for any believer or unbeliever experiencing physical ailment whether, it is ongoing or simply threatening.
I can vividly remember myself and other family members sitting and having a joyful time with our eldest sibling, Eunice (Sister Eunice) who had just arrived to the USA on vacation. The door slowly opened as Lois moved her feeble frame (then reduced to half of her known size) with tortoise steps into the room. “Lois!” exclaimed Sister Eunice who immediately burst into tears. My tears followed. I knew what she was thinking. The room was nearly silent as Lois continued her journey to a seat with the spirit of a lion, a steady gaze and an uplifting smile.
For myself, a 62 year old who humbly accepts God’s grace of a pain free body, “I SERVE YOU THE BACK OF JESUS” has been a stirring reminder of the under- utilized healing power of the stripes Jesus received for our healing. This book of easy reading will stir your faith. It has given me tremendous encouragement and has left me with a compelling desire to bless all of my suffering relatives and friends with a copy.
LYDIA HEELU
I read this book the same day i bought it and i finished it in a few hours. It grabbed me so much and i couldn't put it down. I believe God will use this book to bring healing and restoration to multitudes of people, not just to those who are sick with Lupus but other diseases as well. So many people are sick nowadays and many don't know who to turn to. This living, breathing testimony of Sis Lois points them to the great Healer, Jesus Christ. The book is filled with many revelations too. This book is a great example of what God can do when we dare to take Him at his word. I highly recommend this book, not only to those who are seeking and believing God for their healing, but also for those who want to learn how to believe God despite the gruesome circumstances surrounding them or their situations. Jesus paid it all!

TESTIMONIES
MICHELLE R. JULIEN
Today is Testimony Tuesday and I am sharing my Testimony. During the Holidays season I became depressed because I was going to be alone on Christmas. I felt hopeless and sad because what did I do wrong in my Life for me to end up alone on Christmas Day. I kept thinking that God was punishing me. I felt like giving up on life. It was just too painful. Most mornings I could not get out of bed but listening to Lois Francois helped me get my day started. I have saved a few of her videos because it was like she was talking to me directly and my heart, I would actually break out in tears. I could not have made through the season without her Broadcast. I am happy to report that I went from having no plans on Christmas Day to having 3 different plans. My brother and niece came to visit and friends. I have learned from this experience to be patient in the Lord and spend quality time praying without distractions. Set aside a particular time devoted just for Him and Him alone. I also ask God for forgiveness for allowing those thoughts of giving up on Life because I know God’s grace and mercy and the miracles that God can perform. So in conclusion I would pray in solitude with no distractions and I ask God to forgive me because I know better than to doubt that he would not take care of me and Love me. Have a Blessed day
