COLH has since developed a team of what Mr. O'Steen likes to refer to as one winged angels, meaning that it is impossible to fly and be most effective unless embraced by one another with a common goal in mind. Helping Children keep hope alive, through helping these children identify their true value and potential placed in each and everyone of them. Once this new found ability is revealed, greatness is born.
