ANGELS OF LOVE was established in 1997 by Rick and Sally Cryder. Rick’s dream was to create a ministry that made stained-glass Angels that were freely given to bring encouragement, love, hope, peace, and comfort to people during difficult circumstances—whether grieving the loss of a family member or suffering from a serious illness, disability, or tragedy.
These beautiful stained-glass, gold-plated Angels take approximately three hours to make. Their beauty is matched by the generous hearts of the volunteers who donate their time, talent, and material resources to the Angels of Love Ministry.
Presidents Call To Service Award
May 23, 2008
On July 13, 2007, many of the volunteers of Angels of Love gathered at the Orange County Sheriff's office to be presented with the President’s Call to Service Award from President George W. Bush. This award is given to volunteers who have worked in excess of 4,000 volunteer hours.
“For He will give His Angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways.” Psalm 91:11
We have received many letters and emails from people over the years who have either received an Angel of Love or who have worked with the Angels of Love program.
Also, click here to read some of the heartfelt letters sent to us.
"I just received by beautiful angel and it was truly I believe handcrafted through angels from heaven to you. I was with my dad when he passed away this was just moments before he died and I ask my dad " Is there anything you want me to do?". His very last word he whispered "pray", and then he died. The angel you sent has it's hands folded in prayer. You all are doing such great things and it is through tears of such gratitude that I know I am truly blessed by finding all of you. It was no accident that my son found you and told me to go online and check out Angels Of Love. Someone was pirating my CD and although I have stopped it, it will be by the grace of God that it will find its way to the people that need it, like your angels do.
Dad passed away in 1991 and today the pain is still the same although had I not had my visit with God's angel He sent me, I know I would not be here writing to you now. It took me until 1998 to write about all the angelic experiences and had to put it on hold to help with our adopted grandson, and then back to radio, and now another adopted granddaughter who is four and both angels sent to us, I feel it is time to work with the Angels Of Love CD again. I have a lot of updating to do with it and keep that in your prayers.
Blessings and much love to all of you, and may God continue to work through you to help others. When the CD does start making a lot of major progress, I will give a percentage to your Angels Of Love.
Love, In Christ!"
