Beyond Tears Worldwide – Through The Years

Incorporated in December 2002, Rob Muir, George Selix, Jay Comfort, and Lou Felo united to establish a humanitarian organization grounded in Christian principles. Their primary mission was to assist those facing adversity. Prior to this, Lou Felo had been invited by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) to aid in Bosnia. This invitation came after his involvement in mobilizing teams to rebuild homes and an orphanage in Lipik, Croatia. In the midst of the Bosnian conflict, Felo provided crucial supplies to refugee camps in Zencia, Mostar, Tuzla, and Sarajevo.
