LBW Awareness Panel (College Students & Homelessness)

On Oct 22, 2021, we had our first small live recording for an awareness panel on the relationship between College Students & Homelessness.

This educational panel was moderated by Dr. Vonnetta West and included brilliant insights from Kennesha Smith (Ph.D. Candidate), Angelique Niare (Educator & Advocate), and Terence Lester (Founder of LBW).

This coming year, we are going to release many educational resources and training to reframe the homelessness narrative. This live recording will be made public next week. Check it out below.

Book Launch – “I See You” is Here!

Last week’s launch of “I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People” at Barnes & Noble was a huge success!

Here are a few pics of the Launch Day book-signing event, it was a great time!

Thank you to those of you who pre-ordered and supported our story. We’re excited about teaching people what it means to see dignity in others.

Chick-fil-A Serve Day

We are looking forward to hosting a team from Chick-fil-A Corporate in a few weeks!

We were asked by Chick-fil-A to lead a group of 30 engineers through a service learning day to learn more about poverty, and the team will experience a full day of serving opportunities and education.

Our hope for this time is that each individual will walk away with more empathy, and also to be in close proximity with our community.

We’re very excited about this Serve Day, as this jumpstarts what we’re going to spend more of 2020 doing in terms of empowering those in leadership positions.

Stay tuned!

Book Launch + 1 Day Away

“How do we become people who not only accept responsibility for the destitute but also shift our focus from being self-centered to other-centered?” (Terence Lester)

We are one day away from launching the book, “I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes To Invisible People.” It’s already been spotted around the country in some Barnes & Noble stores.

There is still time to pre-order and support our message of seeing those who are impoverished as God sees.

There is still time to pre-order here!

Become An Early Reader + I See You Book

A Personal Request

Hey guys, this is Terence!

As you know, I’ve been leading LBW in the trenches for years.

In five years, we have worked to assist over 300 people to transition out of homelessness. I can honestly say that I have learned a lot and it has not been easy.

Last year, I was approached by a publisher, InterVarsity Press, to write about my experiences while leading this organization and things I’ve observed in helping people to transition out of poverty and homelessness.

Immediately, I started writing a book called I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes To Invisible People and now I’m exactly 48 days from releasing it into the world.

The book itself will be used to advance the work we do with Love Beyond Walls and many proceeds from it will go back to Love Beyond Walls.

It would be my honor if a few of you would join the book launch team to help spread the word. If you join, we will send you an advanced digital copy of the book and you’ll get a chance to become an early reader.

I hope you will join me in helping us spread the word about what it means to take LBW and see people and love them fully.

You can sign up HERE and fill out the form to get the advanced digital copy.
