We Offer…
BESIDE, a mentorship program for exploited women to find restoration to live a healthy life.
Citywide Prayer Gatherings, joining with others to pray for those who are exploited.
Our History…
Precious To God began in 2012 when God convicted our founding director, Loree Becton, to live more surrendered to Him. In time, He revealed what that would mean: meeting the needs of oppressed and exploited women. Through prayer, Loree found other women who shared the same conviction.
It has been a step-by-step journey of obedience as God has revealed women in need and women willing to walk beside them. Relationships have been birthed with other ministries and agencies in Richmond, other states and overseas. Those relationships strengthen the effort by all involved to meet this global need.
