This morning makes 80 DAYS in one outfit! I only has 10 MORE DAYS TO GO to make a full 90 DAYS! My uniform is too small and shoes are badly worn, but this sacrifice is constantly reminding me of ALL the children #lovebeyondwalls will help this school year who have to endure the same journey not as a stance or choice but are forced to each day.
This past Tuesday, @ladiesatlanta (chapter of the national organization Ladies America) partnered with us to raise uniforms for the Title 1 schools we are adopting for our #closetstrike campaign! This chapter had a networking event, and invited our team out to be their special guest. #lovebeyondwalls got a chance to share the mission & vision with this great group of people.
Next week, LeCrew, LLC will partner with us to raise the remaining uniforms before the #closetsrtike campaign ends. We are grateful and excited for God connecting us with people who have a heart to serve!
Today is DAY 77 in one outfit! Only 13 DAYS left… My (Terence) shoe is almost completely gone! I am literally determined to see this #closetstrike journey all the way through… Why? Because we’ll get to bless many children without resources in their closets at home… This has been both the most humbling, humiliating, and rewarding journey ever in life… Lord, give me strength to go the distance. #lovebeyondwalls

Today, is DAY 75 of #closetstrike! That’s 1,800 hours & 6,480,000 seconds in one outfit for children in need. I only have 15 more days left and 25 more uniforms to raise. Join me in taking a stand for education, children, & poverty.
On July 26th, our next “day of service” we include mobilizing volunteers to put on #lovebeyondwalls first BBQ in the College Park Housing Authority apartments.
Why? Because we have encountered many residents in extreme need, and we feel compelled to take the Love of God to these wonderful people. If you’d like to volunteer, please email volunteer@lovebeyondwalls.org
Details are below!

Jesus makes a bold statement that resonates deeply with #lovebeyondwalls every time we go and and engage the community. He said, “For even the son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45, NKJV).”
Not only did Jesus see his life as a sacrifice, he saw it as something that would benefit others. This past weekend was awesome because we mobilized 27 volunteers to serve over 70 families in College Park Housing Authority apartments. Not only did we encounter great need, we encountered people whom God loves.
Could you imagine not having food in your refrigerator and not knowing how or where your next meal was coming from? This is what we encountered and more… It was eye-opening to discover the poverty that exists right in the communities around us. After serving, we got a chance to pray with and for many people, build relationships in that community, and schedule our next serve date. Guess what?
We are now doing a cookout in these apartments on the 26th of July! We’re going to engage over 200 people from this community with the love of God and food. To learn more, email us at volunteer@lovebeyondwalls.org Below are a few pictures from our serving!

Today, makes 69 DAYS in one outfit… We’re excited because LeCrew has chosen to allow many of their proceeds benefit our #closetstrike goal on the 25th on this month (Black Tie Gala)! Check out the video below…

Today, makes 68 DAYS in one outfit! To be honest, I have personally washed this uniform over 60 times and now my sleeves don’t fit… Super humbling journey for #closetstrike.
As I continue, I am encouraged to go the distant because I know children feel embarrassed to wear clothes that can’t fit anymore. 68 days down, 22 to go!
Terence
Today makes DAY 67 in one outfit… We must build these closets or hope! 67 days equals 1,608 hours… 23 DAYS left! #closetstrike

We are just 24 days away from completing our #closetstrike campaign so we decided to take it to the next level and so can you! Join us in the stand by wearing your uniform (white top and khaki bottoms) for the next three Mondays of July.
