The number 77 reflects a call to extraordinary love. In Matthew 18, Jesus tells Peter to forgive not just seven times but seventy seven—a number symbolizing love that goes beyond limits. At Love77, we embrace that same spirit not only in forgiveness but in how far we are willing to go to love others, even to the most remote villages across the globe. When Jesus sent out His disciples, He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few” (Luke 10:2), inviting them to be His hands and feet in places He could have reached Himself. That is what 77 means to us—an invitation to love without measure, serve without borders, and go where He sends.
At its heart, Love77 shares the spirit of ubuntu, a powerful East African philosophy that says, “I am because we are.” Ubuntu speaks to the deep interconnectedness of all people, echoing Jesus’ command to love our neighbors as ourselves. Just as 77 represents love that knows no limits, ubuntu calls us to live in community, serve with compassion, and uplift others as an expression of our shared humanity. Together, they form the foundation of our mission: to go beyond borders, build relationships, and reflect God’s extraordinary love in action.
