Second Corporate Sponsor – Voya!

This coming Friday, #lovebeyondwalls will be one of the three charities adopted by Voya Investments. The other two wonderful charities are (The Ronald McDonald House & The Wounded Warrior Project). Not only is this a huge blessing, this partnership will help us continue to do the work in under-resourced communities in the Atlanta area.

Leadersource 1.0 – Saturday

This coming Saturday (20th), a small group of fifteen leaders will visit our headquarters (in College Park), sit around tables in our idea room, and learn leadership, technology/communication, storytelling, and outreach lessons we’ve learned over the last 8 and a half months we’ve been around.

We are calling it leadersource 1.0 because we believe leaders should have small gatherings that teaches, trains, and resources them with vital information to do effective work in the 21st Century. Our passion is to create idea-based environments where leaders can study and have hands-on training… This type of environment is the best way for leaders to learn, and discover ideas that will help them in what God has called them to.

If we are honest, many leaders wrestle with (in the 21st Century):

  • Not knowing their purpose.
  • Not seeing themselves as having anything to contribute to this life.
  • Thinking very little of themselves and not having access to the “secret sauce.”
  • Not knowing how they are wired and where they win.

So…….Whether it be non-profit work, church work, or a start-up small business there are unique things can be gathered from open dialogue.

First #leadersource!

Next week, we will take a lot of principles we have learned (through experience) and pass them along to other leaders (about 5-7). We want to teach leaders some of lessons we’ve learned about social media, storytelling, and launching campaigns.

How will this help? I’m glad you asked. It will help other leaders start the process of thinking through ways to make an impact in the areas they feel called to. Everyone needs a little guidance and help!

Also, I’m excited about giving the talk! If you’d like to attend, click the image below. I think we only have 3 more seats available.

8 month update on #lovebeyondwalls!

8 months ago, #lovebeyondwalls started a journey of serving people, taking the love of God to those without a voice, and doing all we could to restore hope back to people who are often times forgotten.

As we sat down to look at how far God has brought us, we came up with a simple infograph to show people a little of what we have done over the last 8 months, and how their donations have aided us in our outreach efforts.

This graphic not only serves as a reminder of how awesome God is, but as a signifier of what can happen when people get together to take #lovebeyondwalls

Labor Day – #CarryATL

Today, officially starts the #carryATL campaign! However, we got a jumpstart on passing out carrying bags to Atlanta’s homeless this past Saturday. We encountered some very signifigant stories that confirmed the great need for resourcing our homeless friends with carrying bags.

We met a lady named Maria who has been homeless for a year! She was in the parking lot earlier that morning before we started to go out and pass out bags, and she made a statement that stuck with us the entrée day (and days to come), “A bag helps me because everything I own is in them…” She was basically saying that if she didn’t have anything to transport her items, she wouldn’t have anything.
