The name “Belle & Sparrows” is a representation of the message that they deliver. They state, “Belle means beautiful and Sparrows references the reminder Jesus gives us in the Gospels, that because every single bird is remembered by God, we can know that we are never forgotten by Him.” The ministry was founded by Lynde Griggs and Tiffany Savage, who have a combined 27 years of ministry experience. Fueled by their own lives and experiences, they are dedicated to reaching out and impacting the lives of as many women as possible.
