About the Extravagant Love Foundation

Our Story

A Journey of Transformation

It began with a whisper during prayer: “Extravagant Love” and “Extravagant Living.” In 2023, Andy Yim felt these words guiding him towards a greater purpose.

Amidst a world struggling with division, Andy envisioned a transformative love, reminiscent of Christ’s selflessness. The Extravagant Love Foundation emerged not from a boardroom but from a conviction in Andy’s heart that we are called to build bridges—connecting divided communities, mending fractured relationships, and restoring hope where despair had taken root.

As the foundation developed, we witnessed that when diverse groups—churches, businesses, community, organizations, and local institutions—rallied around this vision, barriers began to crumble.

What started as two whispered phrases now speaks with growing confidence that families can be healed, communities restored, and cities rebuilt. This journey continues unfolding day by day. The Extravagant Love Foundation stands as a humble reminder that transformation starts with the simple choice to love beyond reason, to give beyond comfort, and to believe beyond sight, just as we have been loved first.
