25th Anniversary Celebration

On Sept. 30, 2025, we celebrated our 25th year of ministry with a fundraising dinner at Calvary Baptist Church in Dothan. The place was filled as we celebrated what God has done over the past 25 years. We also looked ahead at where God is leading us to further expand the ministry. It was an extra special night. We presented two awards: The Mama Tuck Award was presented to Glenda Davis for her years of faithful service at Love In Action. And, we presented the Rick Denney Award to Melissa Dials, a former homeless woman whose life has been totally transformed by Jesus Christ. The Love In Action Board of Directors surprised Love In Action President and Vice President Ken and Martha Tuck with a plaque thanking them for 25 years of leading Love In Action. Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal provided by Southern Love Catering, and the fellowship among everyone was special. We thank everyone who attended and all of our sponsors. We thank God for 25 years of ministry and for what He wants to do the next 25 years.

Rick Denney Award

Melissa Dials is the first recipient of the Rick Denney Award. When we first met Melissa years ago, she was homeless and addicted to drugs, but we loved her and kept showing her the love of Jesus. There was so much potential in her that she couldn’t see until the day Jesus saved her and set her free from addiction. Melissa said the best thing we need for her was planting the seeds of the Gospel in her heart. And those seeds grew and now she’s a born again follower of Jesus Christ. The light of Jesus shines very brightly through her. If you are with Melissa for two seconds, she will tell you about Jesus and what He has done in her life. She is a life truly transformed by Jesus Christ.

Congratulations, Melissa. We love you.

Mama Tuck Award

We presented the Mama Tuck Award to Glenda Davis. Glenda (our Little Ninja) has served faithfully with us for many years. She brings joy to everyone she meets and loves serving at Love In Action. She has also traveled to the Philippines with us to share Jesus and the joy of the Lord with people on the other side of the world. Glenda and Mama Tuck were roommates on that trip. They were the best of friends.


Thank you, Glenda, for loving Jesus and loving others with the love of Jesus. Thank you for your faithful service through all of these years. Thank you for loving us. We love you and thank God for you. May God continue to bless and keep you. Congratulations. We know Mama Tuck would be very happy and proud of you.

Testimonies and Serving Jesus at Love In Action

For 25 years Love In Action has been sharing the love of Jesus with the homeless and those living in poverty in our hometown of Dothan, Alabama, in the Wiregrass, and throughout the world. God tells us throughout the Bible to take care of the poor. We are honored to serve our friends day-in and day-out. These videos were shown at our 25th Anniversary celebration on Sept. 30, 2025. The videos show some of what we do each day in Dothan and the Wiregrass. One tells what we are doing in the 10/40 Window to share the Gospel with unreached and unengaged people groups. One video is of the entire celebration program. We thank and praise God for all He is doing and celebrate every life transformed by Jesus Christ.

Thank you sponsors

Thank you to all of the sponsors for our 25th Anniversary Fundraiser Dinner on Sept. 30, 2025, at Calvary Baptist Church in Dothan. We would not have been able to have such a grand celebration without each of these sponsors. Most are long-time supporters of Love In Action and they are all faithful to support Love In Action in serving those in need in our community. Each one are excellent businesses operated with godly integrity. May God continue to bless each one of them.
