This past week, we got a chance to partner with students and staff at Green Forest McCalep Christian Academy.
Together, we raised over 90K wipes for us to take on our next trip to Flint, Michigan. We can’t wait to serve single moms and those in need. So far, we have taken over 500K bottles of water, built relationships with two churches, and and have mobilized over 1000 people to be involved in this effort.
After partnering with GFMCA, we made the news in Flint. Check out the news clip that aired on Channel 12 News, and a picture of many kids who donated the wipes.

Each month, we partner with “Warehouse of Hope” to serve 300 families with groceries. This past week (Good Friday), we served over 100 families with resources and prayer.
We are grateful for the volunteers that came out to serve from Praise Academy this past Friday.

This past week, a few groups donated the last few items needed for us to launch the “Free Laundry Room” in April.
Once we prep the room, we will install the washing machines, dryers, and detergent to serve families and homeless individuals that need a free place to wash their clothes with dignity. Below are a few pictures of items raised this past week.
Huge shout out to Revolution Church & The Soup & Savior Organization.

Hey, I’m posting this because I need your help. God laid it on my heart (as the leader of Love Beyond Walls) to try to purchase a home to employ and house those we serve battling with homelessness. Would you donate $1 to our campaign and get 5-10 more people to donate $1? We need 22K people to give one dollar so we can purchase our first home to house the homeless. You can read the story and give by clicking the image below:

Yesterday, we found out that we won the idea competition at Plywood Presents! We got a chance to to pitch our idea in front of 800+ Plywood(ers) before five judges.
It was an amazing opportunity, and we cannot wait to get started with furthering our Mobile Makeovers project!
Below is a cool picture from the decision.

In the last two and a half weeks, we have produced 20 pieces of art out of reclaimed wood (giving dignity and work back to a man transitioning out of homelessness). His name is Bruce, and he is building back the pieces to his life (literally)!
This past weekend, we had a follower reach out and say that she wanted us to see if we could make her two end tables. Well, below is a picture of what we produced today (Bruce & Terence).
With the help of people donating wood and a few tools, we are creating art and helping a man find dignity through work through a program we are launching in the fall called Dignity Art. If you would like to get our program to design you a piece of art, email us at info@lovebeyondwalls.org
Yesterday, we reached a goal that many thought was impossible! We hit our annual goal and made over 275 people in less than four months with the Mobile Makeovers bus!
After two and a half months of laboring to get the bus ready, the bus hit the road in May and has been giving people dignity since that historical month!
Today, we will begin to blow this goal out of the water by making more people over and connecting people to resources that will help them become self-sufficient!
Below is a picture of our 275th makeover! Thank you if you gave to this project!
