Mission statement
Our mission is to bring the "luv" of Jesus to orphans around the world.
Statement of faith
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God revealed in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The scripture declares His virgin birth; His sinless life; His miracles; His substitutionary death on the cross; His bodily resurrection from the dead; and His ascension to the right hand of God.
We believe that sin separated man from God and left him in a fallen or sinful nature.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, being born again is absolutely essential and that the only means of salvation is Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is presently active and at work in the lives of believers enabling them to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved will receive eternal life and those who are lost will receive eternal death.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

History
Mike and Mandy Reiszner, the founders of Coreluv International, have dedicated their lives to ministry. After completing their Bible school training, while still in their early twenties, they served as missionaries with an inner-city ministry in Houston's Fourth Ward. There, they were able to minister to some of the poorest people in the city. For 10 years after, Mike and Mandy served as youth pastors discipling young men and women to pursue a personal and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. Mike and Mandy built a youth ministry that was exciting and relevant, while always staying true to biblical principles.
In 2009, God began stirring in Mike's and Mandy's hearts a deep compassion for orphans and that is when Coreluv International was born. Almost immediately, Mike and Mandy began scheduling Christian concerts to raise money for an orphanage in Africa. It was a surprise to many of their friends when in 2011, Mike walked away from the American ministry ideal (a secure position in a vibrant and growing church) in order to follow God's inner stirring to defend the orphan on a full-time basis.
Since June 2011, Coreluv International has grown from an idea to a nationally recognized non-profit organization that provides life-saving care to orphans in Haiti. Mike and Mandy are living their dream with their three children, John-Michael, Bethany, Christian, and will soon be adding Mylove, a Haitian orphan they are in the process of adopting.
