More Hygiene Products!

Over the last few months, we have served tons of families but have noticed something unique. Many families or individuals that we have helped have asked for hygiene products. Why? Because as one lady said, “These are hard to come by when you are unemployed…”

Therefore, we have vowed to launch another campaign to collect more “LOVE KITS” in the month of October to help more people that we encounter. If you’d like to support this campaign please see the flyer below for more details.

Amazing weekend!

This past weekend was awesome! Normally, we would have gone out to serve, but instead we got a chance to go out and support some of the people that are supporting us!

Friday, we attended the Carnival Voya put on to raise resources for the three organizations they have chosen to sponsor this year.

Saturday, we supported Pleasant Words, LLC for the annual women’s conference. It was an amazing time because during their lunch they honored LBW with support and encouragement.

Sunday, we were at Vinings Church in Smyrna, GA for their grand opening. They partnered with us to raise carrying bags for our #carryATL campaign. Additionally, next week (October 4th) they will go out with us to serve those who are in need.

Lastly, next month we will release our next big project. It will be one of the most daring things we will attempt to continue serving undeserved communities.

She's no longer homeless!

We got a chance to interview Brittany today! We helped he a month ago, and now she is no longer homeless — thanks to one of our volunteers Ms. Gloria!

She took her in, cared for her, prayed for her, and keep bringing her around… Now, we need help clothing her kids for the winter, and getting her some furniture for her new place! Can you help us #lovebeyondwalls? 

Below are her before and after stories… Watch them, and let us know if you can help!

Not by chance, God alone did this!

Earlier this week, I (Terence) met a pastor through a friend in Madison, GA and shared our story. We walked outside to this thirty passenger bus, and he said, “this should help you guys out a lot…” In fact, he said they think it would help in serving those in need up in ATL… I don’t know how this all happened (other than God), but this church is donating this bus to @lovebeyondwalls! Can’t wait to share what we are going to do with it next month!!!

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.

Students Benefit

After a couple weeks of work we have seen several students start to benefit from the #closetstrike journey! In fact, we got this picture from a partnering school this week. It was very touching!

Because people donated uniforms this school was able to resource three siblings this AM who lacked in their closet. The educator said, “They were sooooo happy with lots of personality! The little girl says “I feel so pretty now” God is awesome!” Thanks to everybody that donated.

Closet #1 Filled – Riverdale Elementary

On Wednesday of this week, we visited Riverdale Elementary School and met with Ms. Veal (Principal) and Ms. Vazquez (Community Liaison) to present the “Uniforms of Hope” we raised during our #closetstrike campaign! The principal immediately grabbed a few children and shared the news with them! Below is a picture of their reaction when the uniforms were presented. Thank you if you were a part of us resourcing these schools!
