We are building a healing hospitality ecosystem where faith, creativity, family, community, and purpose intersect to encourage and equip people in faith, hope, and love.

A place to be encouraged and equipped in faith, hope & love

Welcome

Friends & Family

SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE

We’re Emmanuel & Emily Lucima — parents, creative storytellers, and founders of Standing For Life.

Our journey has been marked by deep grief and deeper grace. Through health issues, unemployment, 4 miscarriages, a stillbirth, and the loss of our daughter who lived for 51 days , we’ve learned to cling to hope.

Now with our 2 daughters, we share our story so others know they’re not alone — and so that healing, purpose, and love can rise from every place of pain.

Emmanuel + Emily

Create Connection

Because we were never meant to stand alone.

Cultivate Community

Because healing and growth happen together.

Grow Consistently

Because transformation is a journey, not a moment.

Go Purposefully

Because every person carries purpose that can impact the world around them.

51 DAYS OF HOPE

On February 1, 2016

In honour of the 51 days our daughter, Eliana, was with us we launched our first annual 51 Days of Hope.
Our goal through the 51 Days of Hope inspire hope through through creating connections, cultivating community, growing consistently, and going purposefully into the world and making a difference.

We can’t do this without your help.

We use creativity to share the message of hope.

We take 51% of what we make and use it to stand with families / charities / hospital(s) / mission / missionaries and more.
