About Life Solutions in Abundance
Life Solutions in Abundance (LSA) International began in 2008 when founder Anne Brown answered a call to bring hope and practical help to communities across the Philippines and beyond.
What started as Abundant Life Solutions has grown into a Christian missions ministry devoted to discipleship, community development, and gospel-centered outreach in the 10/40 Window. Today, LSA is led by a dedicated Core Team — including Executive Director Michelle “Mitch” Arriola, Prayer Coordinator Alice Dy, and Pastoral Care Director John Brown — who carry the vision forward together. Rooted in faith and driven by compassion, LSA exists to see lives transformed and communities strengthened through the abundant life found in Christ.
Core Values
Service: to God, Humanity and the Body of Christ
Excellence: doing all things better than the last time while striving to do exceeding better the next time
Commitment: to God, others, and our team
Respect: for everyone, without regard to status in society, belief system or mannerisms
Integrity: always being honest before God, with others while striving to be found blameless in all areas of ministry.
LSA International CORE TEAM

Anne, a retired professional nurse from the U.S., founded Abundant Life Solution (ALS), the forerunner to Life Solutions in Abundance International Inc (LSA), in 2008 after she arrived in the Philippines.

Michelle, a Filipina national, joined the staff of ALS in 2010 as the ministry center’s receptionist. She distinguished herself as a vocalist and praise and worship leader, as well as demonstrating her keen desire to serve the Lord Jesus. She was promoted to vice director of administration of LSA in 2015. She was promoted to her current leadership position of executive director in 2020.

She has three children and three grandchildren. Alice resides in Bauang, La Union, Philippines with her husband, Jessie.
John Brown
John Brown, a lifelong pastor with a mission call, joined the Life Solutions in Abundance International Inc. core team as Pastoral Care Director. His call to missions began when he finished high school when God led him to take the place of a missionary that was killed in the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. This spurred him on until he received an AB degree in Bible and Mission from Northeast Central Bible College. Being taught that missionaries needed to serve as pastors first, he began a pastoral assignment in Grand Rapids Michigan, U.S. upon completing Bible college. This began his journey of over 50 years as a pastor, serving jointly with his wife. After she was called to heaven in 2019, God told him, “I’m not finished with you yet.” He joined LSA as their fourteenth-year ministry anniversary speaker in October 2022. This was his third missionary journey to San Fernando, La Union, Philippines in 44 years.
Pastor John says, “Through a miraculous chain of events, I was given a new start in pastoral ministry with LSA. In my role as Pastoral Care Director, I reach out to young Filipino pastors through prayer, words of encouragement and mentoring to help them be strong leaders in the end-time harvest fields of the world. May God be glorified as I am led by the Holy Spirit to serve in the coming years.”
