We’re Emmanuel & Emily Lucima intentional creative storytellers, parents of eight, Callia and Revival, along with six amazing children in heaven: Gideon, Nia, Eliana, Kai, Victory, and Aurora. and we are the founders of Standing For Life.

Our journey has been marked by deep grief and deeper grace. Through health challenges, unemployment, four miscarriages, a stillbirth, and the loss of our daughter Eliana, who lived for 51 days, we’ve learned that hope isn’t found in having all the answers, but in holding on to God through every season.

Today, we continue this journey with our two daughters, Callia and Revival, sharing our story so others know they’re not alone.

Standing For Life grew out of that journey—a desire to make room for others to experience encouragement, community, and hope. We steward intentional spaces where people are encouraged and equipped to create, heal, grow at their own pace, and rediscover purpose.

We’re glad you’re here because your story matters, too. Whatever season you’re walking through, we’d love to get to know you, hear your story, and explore how we can encourage one another along the way.

There is room for you here.
