First and foremost, my wife and I believe we were put here on God's green earth to help those less fortunate and as Iron Sharpens Iron, to help leaders reach their full potential. Real estate just happens to be the vehicle for us to get there. And we love real estate because it is a basic necessity in todays life, similar to food, water and oxygen.
Our Big Why
Lorena Landes, my wife, who has been a beacon of compassion and resilience, grew up in a third-world country where the harsh realities of human trafficking were an inescapable part of life. From a young age, she witnessed the profound devastation caused by this pervasive crime, seeing families torn apart and futures destroyed. These experiences left an indelible mark on her, fueling a lifelong commitment to fight against human trafficking.
When Lorena and I met we found common ground not only in their personal lives but also in their shared mission to combat human trafficking. I jokingly tell people that I grew up in a 3rd world state, Louisiana. Together, we embarked on a journey to support organizations that rescue and rehabilitate victims of this heinous crime. Our dedication extends across the globe, backing multiple organizations that work tirelessly to provide safety, recovery, and hope to those affected.
We believe that our mission is divinely inspired, a calling that God placed upon our hearts. We see our efforts as part of a greater purpose, contributing our own resources to ensure these organizations can continue their vital work. Our contributions are not just financial; we are deeply involved, providing support, raising awareness, and advocating for change.
In addition to our global efforts, we are pillars of our local community. Heavily involved in our local church, we lead by example, demonstrating the power of faith and action. We believe in the concept of Kingdom Builders, striving to build the Kingdom of God on Earth through our leadership. Our church community plays a significant role in our lives, offering a platform to mobilize support, share our mission, and inspire others to join the fight against human trafficking.
Our journey is a testament to our unwavering faith and commitment to justice. We have turned personal experiences into a powerful force for good, driven by the belief that everyone deserves a chance at freedom and dignity. Our story is one of hope, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of a world where human trafficking is a thing of the past.
